AC Milan have decided to leave out five of their players for the upcoming pre-season tour in the United States. A clear signal regarding the future of these players, as highlighted by a report this morning.
Milan will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow for the pre-season tour in the USA, taking on Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona. Pioli will be able to rely on a good squad, including five new signings, but some players have been left out.
According to Tuttosport, as cited by SempreMilan.it, Pioli has decided to exclude Divock Origi, Mattia Caldara, Fode Ballo-Touré, Ante Rebic and Marko Lazetic. In fact, all of these are expected to leave Milan this summer.
It should be noted that Yacine Adli and Charles De Ketelaere, who both have an uncertain future, have been included in the squad for the tour. It could be an opportunity for them to change Pioli’s mind, even if that won’t be an easy task.
Without Rebic and Origi, Colombo will gain minutes. I hope he play well and convince Pioli and Milanisti that he can be decent backup for Oli.
So the money spent on Lazetic are going down the drain…
He was only €4.5 million and he’s only been at Milan for 18 months! He should be in the Primavera. No one in Serie A is going to use a 19 year old.
4-3-3 with CDK as a false 9 when Giroud is out? Could work…
Nope. CDK as the lone striker? LOL. DOA. He needs an army of better players next to him to succeed.
Lazetic is player to go on loan.
Ballo Toure REBic ORIGI Caldara…
These must be definitely out.
they should indeed send lazetic out on loan and this time to a serie a team that maybe just got promoted where he is guaranteed a lot of minutes,
messiah is going ?
I hope they loan out Lazetic and sell Origi, Rebic, Caldara, Ballo-Toure and Messias (Florenzi too tbh) to raise funds for Dia and Singo. De Keteleare and Adli could still be good to keep if they go back to 4-2-3-1 and need attacking midfielders.
It should be noted that despite the attempt from news media to oust Gabbia and Pobega from Milan, they are included in the tour.
Being included in the tour list doesn’t give any stability, Adil did well in our last tour and Ballo-Toure many matches did he get?
messiah go
Rebid go
Origi go
CDK stay
Adli stay
Lazetic still very young go(loan)
Ballo-Toure is too naive, needs playing time (loan)
