A very important summer is coming up for AC Milan as they look to appoint a head coach and build a squad that will allow them to instantly respond to Inter’s 20th Scudetto win.
As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) reports, here is a lot of talk about the incoming market and the players that might arrive to galvanise the squad, with a large emphasis placed on the striker that will be signed.
However, there will also be some rather key departures as well which will make some room when it comes to the wage budget but will also produce gaps to be filled.
The paper claims that Olivier Giroud will leave when his deal expires (to join Los Angeles FC in the MLS), while Antonio Mirante, Simon Kjaer and Mattia Caldara will also depart on a free.
Luka Jovic’s farewell is described as ‘probable’ despite the fact he has scored nine goals and arrived on a free transfer, while Yacine Adli’s is ‘possible’ even if he has carved out more of a role in recent months.
As for the big names like Maignan and Theo Hernandez, who have many admirers around Europe, they will only leave if truly irrefutable mind-boggling offers arrive at Casa Milan, as seen with the sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle.
