Pellegatti gives thoughts on Zhegrova, Brahim Diaz, Kamada and Loftus-Cheek links

AC Milan have two games left and one win required to secure a spot in the Champions League for next season, but things are moving ahead of the summer window.

Milan know that they can seal a top four spot against their bitter rivals Juve on Sunday night and in the process they would unlock a boost in economic resources that can help them when it comes to the upcoming mercato and reinforcing the squad.

Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel about the rumours that are circulating regarding various players potentially arriving, starting by addressing the ‘#BrahimOut’ Twitter campaign.

“I’m sorry that there is this current of thought. To find another player like Diaz you have to spend more than 20 million, but if we have Kamada and Diaz, we’re starting to have two great players who can play as a 10,” he said.

“If you also have Loftus-Cheek, I have a full midfield, with six great players. Then we will think about the attack, attention to Zhegrova, who would not be a starter, in my opinion, that anticipation of the Kosovar journalist has important margins of foundation.”

The Zhegrova links started when journalist Arlind Sadiku wrote on his Facebook page that Milan would be signing a Kosovan player, and we did some research which established that it could be the Lille forward.

This is because of the agreement between Milan and the Ligue 1 club over Rafael Leao’s fine, which could see the Rossoneri owed €18m by Les Dogues or perhaps a player of equivalent amount.
