The AC Milan management have a list of positions they wish to strengthen this summer and are working on multiple fronts, a report claims.
MilanNews writes how the club has already committed €41m to the market in signing Mike Maignan from Lille and Fikayo Tomori outright from Chelsea, but the squad is definitely incomplete and with preseason looming on July 8 some further intervention is needed.
The report lists the positions that technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Ricky Massara are looking to bolster: Right-back, left-back, central midfield (in addition to Sandro Tonali), right wing, attacking midfield (in addition to Brahim Diaz) and two centre-forwards.
Therefore, there are seven elements that are missing from the squad if Tonali and Brahim are not included, and if those operations were to fall through then it would rise to nine. The management are evaluating the various profiles that could arrive in the short term and give Pioli a competitive squad on July 8.

With what budget tho? Perpetuating the loan formula (i.e. mercenaries) isn’t the way you build a team.
