AC Milan are looking to reinforce the team this summer and although they will have a decent budget, the Rossoneri must also turn to some free agents. One of them could be Stephan El Shaarawy.
El Shaarawy’s contract with Roma will expire at the end of the season and the talks with Roma haven’t gone too well. In fact, the former Milan man is expected to leave the club and could perhaps return to San Siro.
As learned by our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Milan are indeed monitoring the situation but they are yet to make a move for the winger. Indeed, they will wait until there is a full breakdown in El Shaarawy’s talks with Roma before making a move.
The Italian could be a great backup for Rafael Leao and he can also play on the right flank if needed. However, a lot will depend on his salary demands and the potential agent fees/sign-on bonuses.
Great player. He can definitely play on the right. Would be an upgrade for us.
Logical choice for our left wing post. He knows the club and city well so no more adaption balderdash.
* back up choice to be precise.
If he is free then let us het him as a golden sub, however we need to start thinking big like we used to if we are to challenge big boys, and i dont mean Inter when i say that. We are Milan, and if you dont understand that as the owner then pkease sell it to someone who has the money to back that up with $$$ in bank account
Facts
True. Noted
Would be nice signing as a back up RW and LW. BUT IF we do sign him he will be our STARTING RW and we will not sign anyone else. Why? NO $$$.
Isak posted this from another article that broke down our transfer targets on par with our budget and it seems spot on:
Marco Sportiello (free transfer): €500k per year until 2026. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €900k gross.
Daichi Kamada (free transfer): €3m per year until 2026. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €4m gross*.
Stephan El Shaarawy (free transfer): €3.5m per year until 2026. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €6.5m gross.
Brahim Diaz (€20m fee): €2-3m per year until 2028. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €4m + €2.7-4m gross* = €6.7-8m
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (€20m fee): €2-3m per year until 2028. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €4m + €2.7-4m gross* = €6.7-8m
Pasquale Mazzocchi (€8m fee): €1m per year until 2027. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €2m + €1.85m gross = €3.85m
Lois Openda/new striker (€25m fee): €2m per year until 2028. Cost on the balance sheet per year = €2m + €2.7m gross* = €4.7m
Although Openda May now be out of reach with a 40M price tag…and Diaz ship may have (thankfully) sailed.
