AC Milan came into the summer mercato with a reportedly healthy budget, but a report is suggesting the Rossoneri should sell before any further purchases are made.

It has been a weird mercato so far, given Milan have only made two first-team signings – excluding the deal for Alex Jimenez, who will probably be between the senior and Futuro squad. However, arguments can be made that the European Championship is the reason for this.
Nevertheless, the Serie A season is approaching quickly, and additions are needed across the pitch.
Today, Milan News have stated that the club must sell before adding any new players to the squad, though, for a multitude of reasons. Most notably, to reduce the number of redundancies within the squad, and rid themselves of players who have no place in the squad moving forward.
The report goes further, suggesting that a decision must be made about Yacine Adli, Alexis Saelemaekers and Malick Thiaw. For the French midfielder, there is ‘little’ place for him within the squad, so he could leave if a good offer is made, and the same can be said for Thiaw.
Saelemaekers presents a weird proposition, given Fonseca is a fan of his, but whether there is space for him among the ranks is yet to be seen. We also must consider the exits of Divock Origi and Fode Ballo-Toure, but interest in both is lacking.
