The mercato is reaching its end, and AC Milan are looking to make a few more deals yet this summer, in three different areas.
There has been a need for a ‘new tree’, as Fabio Capello put it, all summer. However, Milan have seemingly avoided this idea. Of course, they have added well in the midfield, but there are questions about the balance of the team.

Koni De Winter and Christopher Nkunku could add to this ‘tree’. But, these questions remain, so now there needs to be a look at the mercato in the final few days, it seems. After all, Massimiliano Allegri requested four additions last weekend.
Liverpool calling
This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write that the ‘priority’ is another defender, and the idea is Joe Gomez, after Manuel Akanji refused a move to the Rossoneri. The Swissman threw in the towel last night.
So, Gomez is the primary idea; however, it is reliant on things moving around, it seems. If the Englishman is to arrive, it would require Marc Guehi joining Liverpool, hence allowing his position to be freed.
Milan had previously considered Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile, but the French duo are unavailable. Merih Demiral is also one to watch, but the preference is clearly Gomez.
Rabiot’s will
In the midfield, Adrien Rabiot’s strong hold is not fading; the Frenchman remains the favoured choice this summer. Contacts, as the report states, got ‘intense’ with his mother and agent last night, but Marseille are not aiding things.
The French club are not shifting from their €15 million demands, even though the relationship after his argument has not been mended. Ahead of next summer’s World Cup, Rabiot needs security that Marseille cannot offer.
A change in his €5m demands would also have to occur; there is a lot of work to do, but the Diavolo are willing. Today could be a big day for it, especially with him rejecting advances from England.
Final forward
Then, there is the final iron in the fire, Artem Dovbyk. The idea of a loan to buy agreement arose last night, and Frederic Massara did not deny that an exit could occur. Rather than a swap, it will be a move solely built around the Ukrainian.
Dovbyk would add some much-needed characteristics to Allegri’s team, and the demand is there. It is Dovbyk or nothing, it seems, and Gimenez has already stated that he will not leave.
This would actually be quite good, but if musah leaves we dont have a bacup to salamakers, but we have rhis anthemank guy but i dont much about him.
Simakan? Lucumi?
Rabiot and Dovbyk are fine. But Joe Gomez… that guy is a mess.
r u ready boys ti read the article where it explains how Bennacer can improve our midfield and be a leader🤣🤣🤣
Games hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh utterly rubbish
Dovbyk and Rabiot would he good additions for Jimenez and Musah. That gives us two center forwards and 5 good midfielders until Jashari is back and healthy.
Question is how all players will he used? Leao, Pulisic, Nkunku, Gimenez, Dovbyk and Chuckwueze all gonna compete for the 2 spots up ahead as Allegri doesnt seem to have any plans to play 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 ?
With all these offensiven players 3-4-3 seem to be the best choice. Leao-Dovbyk-Pulisic to start and Nkunku-Gimenez-Chuckwueze as backups.
If Gimenez and Chucky leaves late in the window then I guess there is no choice but to play 3-5-2…
Leao(Nkunku) – Dovbyk (Gimenez)
Jashari(Rabiot) – Ricci(Fofana) – Pulisic (Modric/RLC)
Akanji would have solved CB issue, but unfortunately he’s going to Tottenham…
also wingbacks are a bit exposed now after Jimenez and Musah outings… Alexis, Estupinan and Athekame (he’s currently more of a 0.5 than a 1) are the only ones we have… pretty shaky situation in back 5
Nobody will join. Milan wants everyone to reduce their asking price and players to reduce wages. Yes, they can’t wait. A bunch of complete re*ards lead Milan, and Tare just joined but his face does look like some chromosomes are not where they’re supposed to be.
gomez ? get him for 1 mil only, not more. really bad business if buying him.
They realy good,with them we have chaince for 6th place and that is better then last season 😃
Horrible
Gomez? What kind of week are they smoking?
‘Oh my god nobody will join us , we’re so fvcked!’ / then Jashari and others comes; ‘we’re the worst, Milan is finished and blah blah blah doom & gloom doom & gloom blah blah blah’ / then Nkunku join us. And so on, others will come.
Neeeeext…
Pembelian pemain asing lagi yang di beli dan yang di pinjam. Katanya mau beli pemain Italia isi nya di club milan? Beli pemain Italia hanya buat cadangan,payah Allegri dan Igle Tare. Lebih baik mundur saja Allegri, Tare sebagai pelatih dan direktur olahraga. Cardinale,Furlani dan direksi lainnya keluar dari kepemilikan Milan
Still amending three lines?? lmao
Where did they go all 2-3 months summer long? Vacation?! hahah
Other clubs work all summer, as Milan works only the last two days. lol hahha clown show time lolll
