Felice Raimondo writes how the signing of Musah for the reported €18m plus bonuses means Milan’s total spent will be up to €107m when factoring in the fixed part of all of the paid-for signings so far this summer.
After the recruitment of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Tijjani Reijnders, Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze and Musah, it is necessary ‘to sell the scrap metal’ that could then ‘increase residual margins for what is missing’ in terms of the squad.
If the management were to succeed in making some sales to raise funds and lower the wage bill, the summer spending could go on to reach €150m as per the journalist.
RedBird Capital are ‘laying the foundations for our future’, Raimondo writes, in that they are building a ‘young, talented group that can be resold at much higher values than the purchase price’.
Instead of opting for such radical change each summer, it is more likely that Milan will ‘undergo small variations every year’ but thanks to these variations they ‘will maintain high quality and competitiveness’.
