Tuttosport: Milan’s current transfer targets will require €130m – potential Thiaw sacrifice

AC Milan are still looking to sign around five players this summer but they will need to spend around €130m to bring them all in.

As reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri will have to spend big this summer to make the changes to the squad that they want, which means any outgoings will be very important.

Having already sealed a permanent deal for Alex Jimenez and also signed Alvaro Morata, Milan are still looking at around five players.

The most likely signings as things stand would be Strahinja Pavlovic from RB Salzburg, Youssouf Fofana from AS Monaco, Lazar Samardzic from Udinese, Tottenham’s Emerson Royal, and Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Fullkrug.

It is thought that €35m will be needed for Fofana, and then €25m each for Pavlovic, Samardzic and Emerson. Fullkrug would be acquirable for €20m.

Whilst Milan do have some spending power this summer, it will be hard to make all of those signings work without selling some players.

One potential avenue of money is the interest in Malick Thiaw from Newcastle United, and Milan value him at no less than €40m. The likes of Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer could also be sold, although outgoings will impact which positions Milan sign players for.
