While waiting for the new sporting director to be appointed, the current AC Milan management hope for the summer budget to be boosted by sales.
As MilanNews reports, there are a number of players out on loan with an option to buy and Pierre Kalulu is one. The Frenchman is doing well in Igor Tudor’s three-man defence and that has convinced the Juve leadership.
The Bianconeri have already paid €3m as a loan fee, and the current feeling is that ‘there will be no problems whatsoever’ in paying the €14m agreed. The former Lyon man, therefore, should head there permanently.
Alexis Saelemaekers meanwhile is having a great season at Roma. If the Rossoneri really decided to switch to a 3-4-3, he would be an even more valuable resource for the next head coach, but the feeling is that if a €20-25m bid came in, Milan would sacrifice him to raise money.
That would be €35-40m in the bank, then there is Tommaso Pobega. The midfielder is a player appreciated by Vincenzo Italiano, but he is not an immovable starter, so the Rossoblu plan to negotiate a fee lower than the €12m option agreed last summer.
Until January, the sale of Devis Vasquez to Empoli on a permanent basis seemed a done deal, even for just €800k. However, in the winter transfer window, the club signed Marco Silvestri who took his place. The risk of relegation to Serie B is real so everything is on hold, including Lorenzi Colombo’s €7m option.
It is unthinkable that Napoli will redeem Noah Okafor at present, given that the agreed buy-out fee is €23.5m and the Swiss has played a total of 36 minutes, having arrived in a condition that the Partenopei management admitted wasn’t ideal.
There is a question mark over Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer. The former lost his starting spot due to an injury, while the latter hasn’t hit the ground running yet. Their options to buy are €10.5m and €12m plus €2m in bonuses, in favour of Fiorentina and Marseille respectively.
Alvaro Morata will be discussed in January 2026, but in Turkey they let it be known that the Spaniard and his wife are very happy in Istanbul. Lazetic, Pellegrino and Zeroli are on dry loan.
With Kalulu we would have had a much better Season, still hard to believe that there are any pros around in milano. However cdk and co are doing well and have more succsess! Our 35mio striker brought in in winter mercato is the next super flop! Its just fair to miss ucl by going for felix and santiago instead of pierre
It’s hard to believe we sell all this players. But definitely Juve will buy Kalulu and AS will buyAlexis…we will be out of CL and maybe even EL next year, that means we need to invest more to the quality..
Not just those two, but I also hope for departure of Chukwueze for another 12-14m€ and also if not Fiorentina, then someone other buy Adli for next 12m€.. this is around 60m€ and for sure there are many other players who can leave club this summer. This season is miracle to our management, there is a lot things to improve. If Garry wants to make money, he needs to invest bigger money..but all this will depends on next coach
Play 343
Sell Thiaw, Royal, RLC and Musah and Chuk plus the loanees. Send Walker, Sottil, and obviously Felix packing.
Integrate Bartesaghi, Camarda, Liberali and Zeroli.
Spend everything on Ricci or Rovella, Dodo and a striker (I’d be happy with Tammy in this scenario).
Very doable. We wouldn’t win anything season one, but assuming the kids pushed on and with a bit more refinement season two…
