AC Milan are three quality reinforcements away from challenging Inter for the Scudetto next season, while they must also make a change to the staff.
Milan made 10 signings during the last summer transfer window but they are planning further big investments in the mercato ahead of the 2024-25 season, according to reports from sources like La Gazzetta dello Sport who predict 3-4 signings and a spend of around €100m.
Speaking in his column for MilanNews, Antonio Vitiello talks about Milan’s need for ‘three quality additions’ specifying that they must be ‘players ready to raise the bar even further and challenge Inter next year in the league’.
A striker, a midfielder and a defender are the three positions that he names. While there is ‘immense’ respect for Olivier Giroud, his long-term heir simply must arrive before the start of next season.
Then, Vitiello adds that a ‘midfielder with different characteristics, more defensive’ is needed to complete that particular department, and a central defender to ‘make up for Kjaer’s departure’.
Despite all the focus on new players, Milan’s biggest addition ‘will have to be in the athletic preparation phase’ because if they can limit the amount of injuries they will ‘already be in a good place’ compared to this season.
