Igli Tare and the AC Milan management are hard at work planning ahead of the 2025-26 season, and Wednesday was another day of meetings.

Tare almost certainly knew that it would be far from a quiet summer when he signed with Milan, and even before the ink on his contract had dried he was meeting with agents to begin mapping out the future.
A number of differently rapidly-evolving fronts – from the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to the exits (then non-exits) of Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez – have made it just about the busiest first three weeks possible for the Albanian.
In truth, the former Lazio director has inherited a bit of a mess. And yet, alongside the ever-present and seemingly more involved than ever Massimiliano Allegri, are determined to begin righting the ship.
Riso meets Milan again
MilanNews confirm that the last few days have been full of meetings, and today was no exception. Agent Beppe Riso arrived at the Rossoneri headquarters, and it is likely that a few players were spoken about with him.
Riso has a number of high-profile clients, from Sandro Tonali to Nicolo Rovella, who represent the past and the possible future (based on recent links, which quickly dissipated) of the Milan midfield. Lorenzo Lucca of Udinese is another name that has been mentioned as a Rossoneri target.
It was claimed eight days ago that Riso had met with the Diavolo leadership to discuss five players in particular: Francesco Camarda, Alexis Saelemaekers and Lorenzo Colombo – three players owned by the club – as well as the aforementioned duo of Lucca and Rovella.
Was it a cordial chat about the plans for the first three, or could there have been an acceleration on another front that would see a fresh face arrive? More will soon be known.
Two other visitors
Riso is no stranger to Casa Milan, but there were two other guests of note: Federico Pastorello and Paolo Busardò, agents and intermediaries who are often included in the various operations set up by the Rossoneri.
Starting with Pastorello, his list of clients is a bit more enigmatic in terms of who might be of interest to Milan. Patrick Cutrone is of course a former Rossoneri striker but he has never been linked with a return, and while Ange-Yoan Bonny has been named as a target Inter seem to be close to landing him.
Busardo on the other hand has a more interesting list of names with the CAA Agency. While the likes of Cole Palmer, Eberechi Eze and Bremer seem unattainable, Samuele Ricci and Niccolo Fortini have recently been mentioned as targets for Milan.
In addition to that, another player to look out for is Nadiem Amiri: we revealed at the end of last month that the Rossoneri have been scouting the Mainz star.
