The January transfer window was a busy one for AC Milan, who completed a total of 11 official transactions.
Six players departed the Rossoneri: namely Mattia Caldara, Pepe Reina, Fabio Borini, Suso, Krzysztof Piatek and Ricardo Rodriguez.
There were five incomings too as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Simon Kjaer, Asmir Begovic, Diego Laxalt (returning early from loan) and Alexis Saelemaekers all came through the doors at Casa Milan.
However, the winter mercato is probably better known for the sheer volume of speculation, some believable and some outright ridiculous. Given the recent instability that Milan have suffered, they seem to be more of a target than most.
Amazingly, the Twitter account @notrealsebaros has been compiling a list since November of all the players that Paolo Maldini and Zvonomir Boban have been credited with interest in by the media.
Here, we’ve combined the lot for your viewing pleasure, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia too…
