AC Milan will take on Cagliari this evening and although Stefano Pioli will make some significant changes, a lot of focus is still on the upcoming mercato. At least, this became clear in today’s Italian newspapers. 

As per the latest reports, Pioli is set to bench the likes of Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao tonight. They will be on the bench, so it’s a technical choice, and it remains to be seen what his motivation will be.

In any case, the newspapers focused a lot on the upcoming mercato this morning, with the Benjamin Sesko links certainly heating up. The Rossoneri are supposedly ready to put €50m on the table for his services. Below are the headlines on the front pages.
