AC Milan will need at least five signings in the summer to address areas where it is obvious that their depth is not up to par, a journalist has claimed.
As Antonio Vitiello writes in his latest update for MilanNews, the feeling is that ‘at least five purchases will be needed in the summer’, but that does not necessarily mean the need to ‘invest 300 million’.

Players could also arrive on a free transfer, or with the formula of the loan with option to buy. Opportunities could come through the likes of Daichi Kamada who is leaving Eintracht Frankfurt and could be a free transfer.
A midfielder will be needed after Ismael Bennacer’s knee injury, and Chelsea’s Loftus-Cheek is the ideal box-to-box player that the management have in mind. He has just over a year left on his deal, with the Blues expected to sell players.
For the other three signings, Milan ‘must focus on a top right winger’ because Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers have shown themselves to not be at that level thus far.
A new left-back will be needed, thus ‘finally giving Theo Hernandez a breather’ who at the moment is being forced to play virtually every game due to a lack of trust in Fode Ballo-Toure.
Above all, Milan ‘need a strong striker, a player who scores 15-20 goals a year’ and ‘a large part of the summer budget will be allocated’ to that particular purchase.
Lotus-Cheek (25 millions), Kamada (free), Diaz (22 millions), Scamacca (loan), Zaniolo (25 millions), Parisi (10 million), Arnautovic (3 millions) = 85 millions
You know, plus another 50-75m in combined signing fees, agent costs and wages…
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fifaaaaaaaaa
Scamaca?!?!? Another Origi?!? WTF is Milan even considering this utter flop (if they indeed do)?! Because he could be another potentially free experiment?! What happened to Ocafor (or whatever his name was), from Salzburg?!?
The two most important positions are right-wing and a striker. A really good player for those two positions is an absolute must. That changes the whole complexion of the team because suddenly we have a young goalscorer who can give us goals, we have a player on the right who can be a threat like Leao is on the left, and it also takes some pressure off out attacking midfielders like Diaz or De Keteleare who can have a bit more freedom to perform next season.
Oh yes?! And the midfielders aren’t? What was the reason for our such a terrible performance against Inter?!
Damn.. If we could get both SMS & Loftus-Cheek, our midfield would finally looklike something…
fratessi,kamada,sms,scamacca,parisi,zaniolo,arnautovic
Why would we go after lotus cheek when milinkovic-savic has one year left on his contract and could be purchased for around the Same money? He has way more quality and has been in serie a for 8 years. Would add much more strength to the starting lineup
Completely different players though, if the club does have a deal for either Diaz or Kamada I wouldn’t expect them to pay for Milinkovic-Savic but RLC would be required as a central role anyway. One’s more classic central midfield and one’s a more attacking player – both would be great, but likely unaffordable.
I believe SMS is prioritized to fill our No 10 position and role. Perfect personality for Pioli’s No 10. Although I personally would like Milan to get rid of that position altogether. And just play with the ‘conventional’ 3 midfield in 4-3-3.
Yes
Dont forget to sign diaz replacement. Kamada its very tempting milan management with his free agent. No more big spending after CdK. Milan wont sign diaz for 20m.
Skip RLC . AC Milan need strong DMF not RLC that weak on tackling & ball recovery. Priority should be striker not giroud deputy but ready to take starter from Giroud . If we sign Brahim ,just use him as RW . Sign Kamada free transfer for AMF
You guys are so unrealistic with the transfers. Anyways, let’s get Haaland, Vini jr, Oshimen, Salah and Tchouameni. Straight swap for Origi, Messias, Fode, Pobega and Florenzi. Cost is zero. Easy peasy
Hahahahahahaha! Don’t forget Neymar for Salesmakers and Van Dyke for Gabbia lol
Milinkovic-Savic is better than Diaz, both Arnautovic, Famino For striking, Kerem Aktürkoglu and Lee Kang-in for the wings.

Pls sign casadei of chelsea he’s one of the best italian midfielder rn… And not wasting non eu slot
There are so many good players on a free. Realistically(ish) id like to get players like Tielemans, Kamada, Aouar, Zaha and Arsenio. Arsenio might be tricky, but the rest are possible. With a load for Scamacca.
Forget aouar is already in agreement other club
