The Milan club is making significant moves in the transfer market, focusing on strengthening their defensive line and attacking options. As the situation develops, two full-backs and a central defender are being eyed should Malick Thiaw move on. Additionally, they are looking for a deputy for Rafael Leão, along with a striker to share responsibilities with Gimenez.
As for the ongoing transfer saga involving Dusan Vlahovic, the Juventus striker has become a market concern for his current club, with no urgency on his part to make a decision. Milan, being a potential destination, keeps an eye on the situation as the transfer window approaches its end in August.
Tommaso Pobega has resurfaced in negotiations between Milan and Bologna, with the latter exploring a new loan deal with an obligation to buy at 7 million. However, Milan prefers a permanent deal at a reduced price compared to the 12 million agreed upon last year. Following Al-Hilal’s elimination from the FIFA Club World Cup, the resolution of these negotiations is expected very soon, and a transfer is likely to be official this week, possibly accompanied by Theo’s imminent move to Riyadh.
Infusing a bit of freshness into the squad, the analysis of Jashari’s performance progresses. Notably, he missed a friendly match against Bruges, and with concerns over Gimenez’s output, Milan continues its quest for a player to emulate Olivier Giroud. The club is also considering Mateo Retegui, but discussions will likely take shape in August due to high costs associated with other targets like Lucca.
Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa’s future remains uncertain, although it has been confirmed he will not continue at Liverpool. Napoli is eyeing a loan with an option to buy, and Milan is also exploring options should there be exits involving players like Chukwueze and Okafor.
The upcoming days could reveal pivotal shifts in the composition of Milan’s squad, providing new opportunities for improvement as they navigate the transfer market effectively. The club seems determined to build a strong team that can compete at high levels.
