The mercato opened 26 days ago, and AC Milan have only made one first-team signing. However, there is a feeling of calm around Milanello, but a report has questioned if this feeling is unwarranted.
Whilst deals are in the works, there is a growing sense of unease about the lack of business being conducted by Milan, especially considering how many areas of the squad need to be invested in.
However, this sentiment is not being held by the management, and Giorgio Furlani spoke about the matter yesterday, stating that an ‘important addition’ had been made – a striker – but that the mercato is still open for another month, so there is little need to panic.
On the other hand, Milan News have questioned this statement, asking if the Diavolo actually have enough time to complete their business.
As their report states, at this point of the mercato last summer, most of the notable signings had been made, but this has not been repeated this time around. Instead, there are four areas which must be focused on, in terms of arrivals, and there are six potential exits to organise – one could be completed in the coming days.
Given the mercato closes in 34 days, a question has been posed – do Milan actually have enough time?
There are 10 operations which need to be completed, averaging an action (incoming or outgoing) every 3.4 days, doable, but a difficult task nonetheless.
