The news related to AC Milan at the moment is about money pouring into the accounts from sales, but now there is a duty to invest.
MilanNews recall that the permanent sale of Pierre Kalulu to Juventus was made official on Thursday, as they paid Milan the buy-out fee agreed last summer. In the next few days, the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City will also become official, with a medical set for Sunday.
In addition to these two, there are many other players who are in the running for an exit or who will be put on the market. In light of all this and the proceeds that will be there, the watchword must be one: invest.
Income must equal expenditure
Juventus have released the figures for the Kalulu deal. Milan will see €14m enter their coffers, in three different tranches. The substantial part, however, will come from the sale of Reijnders for €55m plus bonuses, of which €10m are easily achievable.
Theo Hernandez may follow both out of the door. Al-Hilal have offered €35m but the player must be convinced: he would prefer Atletico Madrid who, however, are offering less. Then there is Maignan, who is believed to want to leave and is valued at around €30m.
reijnders furlani tare
Once the carousel of sales is over, the mission has to be to invest the proceeds, even without the Champions League. Much will fall on the shoulders of Igli Tare, the new sporting director, but also of Massimiliano Allegri.
The coach is not the type to get in the way of the mercato but he likes to collaborate, as demonstrated by his presence at Casa Milan in recent days. At the same time, however, the pressure will also be a lot on CEO Giorgio Furlani, the club’s administrator.
In the press release to announce Tare, it was stated that the director will report to the CEO. Let’s hope that this does not slow down the work of the Albanian who, instead, can move freely to strengthen a team that absolutely must return to the Champions League next season with serious moves.
