Tuttosport: Milan could make four sales to increase budget for signings

By Oliver Fisher -

There is obviously a lot of talk about the incoming market, but AC Milan are also working on some potential sales of players that no longer fit into Stefano Pioli’s plans.

Tuttosport (via MilanNews) begin the list by talking about Samu Castillejo who is waiting for the right offer to leave the club and would like to return to Spain. Meanwhile, in recent weeks enquiries have also arrive from Turkey for Fodé Ballo-Touré, but he could only leave for the right cash offer.

Then there is the possibility that Ante Rebic and Alexis Saelemaekers could depart given that their sales would generate a significant sum of cash to increase the budget for incoming operations.

Loan formulas will not be considered for either and therefore only straight cash offers will be evaluated. Rebic has several admirers around Europe, especially in Germany where has has played before.

For Saelemaekers a lot will depend on his will as the Rossoneri will sign Junior Messias permanently and are still looking for another right winger. The Belgian’s valuation is around €15m.

  1. Are there any articles or news sources from outside Milan that suggest there’s an activity around those players? I can’t find any, just a hundred articles from Milan sites making up spurious claims or just posting nonsense articles like this one.

    I’d be very surprised if anyone pays the asking price for Castillejo when he’d be available for free next season, and Milan won’t drop that price or he’d look like a loss on the balance sheet.

    Are there any actual suitors for the others? We’re clamouring to sign another right-winger when there are three already on the books at Milan already.

    1. No, there is 1 proper right-winger at Milan, just sepparated into 3 people. Together they could be a right-winger.

  2. We’ve been trying to sell castillejo for a year. La liga clubs are waiting for his contract to expire. We aren’t in a strong position, should just accept a low bid and get his wages off our books.

    Similarly ballo toure. he’s no good, don’t risk keeping him fir a year extra, just accept the €3mn from Turkish league and move on. We keep deadweight paying them then complain we don’t have the wage budget when signing players that would actually improve the squad.

  3. Milan will certainly not sell players heavily involved in the scudetto win. So saelemakers and rebic will certainly be still in piolis plan. Casti and toure is to be sold or loaned out. That’s my opinion.
