AC Milan have taken inspiration from the ‘Manchester City model’ and it will influence the way they operate from now on, a report claims.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) compares Milan to Manchester City and not because of the signings like Erling Braut Haaland or Joško Gvardiol who cost €60m and €90m respectively, but rather the youth-led philosophy.
There is also a Real Madrid flavour, given that at the beginning of the 2000s they wanted to promulgate with the slogan ‘Zidanes y Pavones’. It is when Los Blancos combined the Galacticos bought for millions with the products of their own youth team.
City are doing the same now. Pep Guardiola launched Phil Foden when he was 17 years old and now he is arguably their best player, then there are other names like Cole Palmer (sold for big money), James McAtee, Claudio Echeverri, Cavan Sullivan and Micah Hamilton.
Milan would like to do the same or to try replicate it to some extent. Thus, they will focus heavily on the jewels who are coming through the academy while also signing players like Álex Jiménez from Real Madrid and Davide Mastrantonio from Roma.
The club wanted to create Milan Futuro to help this process and that will give senior playing time to Mattia Liberali, Lorenzo Torriani, Kevin Zeroli, Davide Bartesaghi and obviously Francesco Camarda. Playing in a professional league will speed up and complete their maturation.
Nonsense. Taking inspiration of a combination of developing youth and recruiting world class players but without recruiting world class players. So in the end it’s just developing youth. Taking inspiration from Lecce and Dinamo Zagreb yeah.
Read it well it said not buying players for millions but developing young talents that’s the aspect they want to emulate.
Yeah I can read it a hundred times and it’s still complete bs. Manchester City and Real Madrid are what they are because they recruit world class players.
All this team that are performing well this day have their own products that are playing constantly, but you guys here complaining
Even if you pointed out the exact phrase Bart would still find a negative angle to it. He’s our Mr. Sunshine.
Oh no the daily bb personal attack irrelevant with the topic. Can’t say if I have hard times sleeping because of the heat or because you’re tormenting me bro. What a good duet we are, me complaining and you complaining that I’m complaining 😘
