President Scaroni ‘does not want to think’ about the Scudetto this season

AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni has admitted that he is not even thinking about the chances of Milan winning the Serie A title this coming season. 

Speaking during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it), Scaroni was asked about the team’s chances in the wake of having signed eight new players for the 2023/24 season so far.

He, of course, highlighted the desire of everyone at the club to win the title, but he refused to put any pressure on the situation.

“Look, I don’t want to think about it… I’m just saying that we are ambitious and we want to win, but we must also take into account the fact that playing in the Champions League and progressing in the Coppa Italia, as happened last season, is just as important. It is the fundamental condition to remain at the top in Italy and in Europe. We have to continue on this path, always going on the field to win. If another Scudetto arrives, then, I’ll be the happiest man in the world. As Berlusconi would have been,” Scaroni said.

Milan are going to be up against Monza in a friendly tonight which has been arranged to honour the late Silvio Berlusconi, who owned Milan in the past and owned Monza up until his death earlier in 2023.

Inter have also seemingly had an impressive transfer window, but other top Serie A teams have struggled to secure the players they want in order to bolster their squad.
