The strategy of the AC Milan management is likely to change in view of the summer transfer window with more of an emphasis on generating money through sales.
Yesterday’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport spoke about how the club are looking at seriously trimming the squad in the summer in order to free up space, wages and generate money to put towards the budget.
The likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Sergino Dest, Aster Vranckx, Ante Rebic, Fode Ballo-Toure and Yacine Adli were all mentioned as being at risk of leaving, with Milan aiming to free up around €15m in net wages.
Radio Rossonera did an interview with Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com about a number of topics from the season so far to the strategy and potential targets ahead of the summer, starting with what was written by La Gazzetta.
“I think something will change in terms of strategies for the Rossoneri management in the market. Massara and Maldini probably expected greater economic possibilities to invest in signings. Instead they understood that everything will depend on and must come from the exits,” he said.
“In my opinion, there will be particular attention – especially in the first part of the summer – towards the players that may be leaving. The liquidity achieved with the sales will be added to the budget which will always be more or less the same, I imagine.
“With the Champions League it will be 45 or 50 million to also go towards different targets. There are players who have been departing for some time. Rebic was supposed to be an asset but never was. Origi objectively disappointed.
“Clearly, if an offer arrives, Milan will take it into consideration to make a total capital gain. But I don’t think the Belgian has that much desire to leave Milan after one season. But Origi also earns a lot… This could have an impact.”
