AC Milan’s summer transfer window deserves some scrutiny as it has so far not delivered the desired contributions, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via PianetaMilan) writes that one issue is not open to debate amid Milan’s recent struggles, and that is that the ‘second lines’ have produced a yield far below expectations.
So far there has been little contribution from the summer market from Charles De Ketelaere – whose price tag cost two-thirds of the summer budget – to other additions like Sergino Dest, Aster Vranckx, Malick Thiaw and Yacine Adli.
Paolo Maldini has already declared that Milan’s winter window is closed in the name of sustainability of the accounts, even if Milan have the worst negative balance in Serie A with a deficit of €42.45m, while leaders Napoli have a surplus of €11m.
The new CEO Giorgio Furlani will be in Lecce with the team tomorrow and is likely to be able to present a strategy to the management and to head coach Stefano Pioli after meeting with Gerry Cardinale in New York over the last few days.
In the meantime, Pioli’s mission is to get injured players back (Simon Kjær and Divock Origi trained with the squad yesterday) as well as rediscovering the hunger that helped the squad with the Scudetto last season.
