Milan hoping to obtain ‘little treasure’ from sale of two loanees

While waiting for the new sporting director to be appointed, the current AC Milan management hope for the summer budget to be boosted by sales.

As MilanNews reports, there are a number of players out on loan with an option to buy and Pierre Kalulu is one. The Frenchman is doing well in Igor Tudor’s three-man defence and that has convinced the Juve leadership.

The Bianconeri have already paid €3m as a loan fee, and the current feeling is that ‘there will be no problems whatsoever’ in paying the €14m agreed. The former Lyon man, therefore, should head there permanently.

Alexis Saelemaekers meanwhile is having a great season at Roma. If the Rossoneri really decided to switch to a 3-4-3, he would be an even more valuable resource for the next head coach, but the feeling is that if a €20-25m bid came in, Milan would sacrifice him to raise money.

That would be €35-40m in the bank, then there is Tommaso Pobega. The midfielder is a player appreciated by Vincenzo Italiano, but he is not an immovable starter, so the Rossoblu plan to negotiate a fee lower than the €12m option agreed last summer.
