‘Milan in the balance’ – all the situations to be resolved before next season

AC Milan may have wrapped up second place in the standings after the results over the weekend, but now work must continue on the planning for next season.

This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) has a front page that reads as follows: ‘Milan in the balance. Maignan-Theo renewal problems. The big names could leave too. Agreement a long way off: Bayern after both the goalkeeper and full-back. Tonali-style proposals accepted for Leao too. Camarda issue. Coach: Conte found the door closed’.

Time to say goodbye

In short there is a lot of work to be done to turn those doubts into certainties, and the planning for the future will continue over the next few weeks, starting from some certain farewells.

Stefano Pioli’s departure has not yet been made official, since the club wants to let him work in peace until the last game. However, the feeling is that the match against Salernitana at San Siro will be his last one.

Then there are players whose future away from Milanello is already known. Olivier Giroud’s official announcement arrived yesterday, with an emotional interview on Milan TV, so he too will get a send off against Salernitana.

Another leader of the dressing room and symbol of the Pioli era is Simon Kjaer and a similar announcement could come from him in the next few days after his agent confirmed his exit. Others like Mattia Caldara and Antonio Mirante should leave when their deals expire too.
