With eight days to go until the transfer window closes, AC Milan still have several open options to bolster their squad.
Several sales are still to be finalized for those players listed as out of the project (Tomori, Fofana, Nkunku, and Leao), and at least two incomings are wanted: a central defender more adept at building from the back, and a left-footed attacking midfielder.

With the prospects of bringing Mattia Liberali back and snatching Greek Kostas Karetsas having long faded, one name that could resurface is Roma’s Matias Soulé. The arrival of Rodrigo Mora risks making him a back-up.
Added to this is the regained fitness of Paulo Dybala, who impressed in preseason and – according to Gian Piero Gasperini himself – can still be a key player for Roma.
Soule offered again
According to Calciomercato.com, Roma may have to sacrifice a player to balance their acquisitions and sales. With this in mind, we must keep an eye on the movements of Soulé’s entourage, who have been scouting for weeks in case the green light is given to find a new destination for their client.
Soulé has reportedly been offered, even recently, to AC Milan. His agents are aware that the Rossoneri are seeking an opportunity in that area of the pitch and a player with certain characteristics, under the right conditions.
Soulé was acquired by Roma in the summer of 2024 from Juventus for €30m, signing a contract until June 2029. He earns €2.5m net per season plus bonuses and is valued not far from the price he was acquired for two years ago.
However, given that the transfer window is nearing its conclusion and there are various factors at play, it’s not out of the question that the Giallorossi could also open up to a loan deal with an option to buy for Soulé.
aside from the 5 that are guaranteed to leave: Fofana, Gimenez, Nkunku, Bondo, Tomori; – Estupinan, Terracciano, Leao upgrades with Zalewski, Incaio, Soule can give us a great fighting chance for Scudetto!
That is the dream
Estu & Terra – Zelewski & Inacio is upgrade,
but Leao – Soule is downgrade.
we need better player to replace Leao
100% on point.
Is he really good enough for us? I have my doubts…
7 goals, 8 assists last season. Seems solid.
Goncalo Ramos
Pulisic – Soule
Alexis – Rabiot – Jashari – Moreira
Pavlo – Inacio – Gila
Maignan
OK then. Not stellar, but not bad either. We could do (get) worse than him.
“With eight days to go until the transfer window closes, AC Milan still have several open options to bolster their squad.”
How is it that you don’t know the basic thing? The transfer window closes on 01.09. It has been like that for a while (several years) now, actually.
He not good for Roma and will good for us? Roma take guy from Porto and want to us sell this disaster player.
Soule its not player for Milan. We not buy Alajbegovic and want this clown?
Why not loan Mbaye from PSG,or Gittens or Lill Mbape?
Soule can play at Lecce and that is
Nkunku in his first season in Italy while injured, was far more effective per minute played and only had one less contribution overall. Not sure Soule is really all that better than him nor will he be when he peaks.

Take away the penalties and its a bigger difference
So we are replacing a WC match winner with a Serie B level player? And everyone’s excited? Sounds about right.
