Milan is poised for a financially robust summer transfer window, with significant resources at their disposal without the need to sell key players like the previous departure of Sandro Tonali.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club is set to benefit from the revamped Champions League, which promises an additional €50 million in revenue.
Additionally, loaned-out players are expected to generate around €40 million in sales, with Charles De Ketelaere, Alexis Saelemaekers, and Daniel Maldini likely being bought by their current clubs, Atalanta, Bologna, and Monza, respectively.
Despite the impending returns of Divock Origi and Fode Ballo-Touré from the Premier League due to less-than-stellar performances, Milan’s sights are set on acquiring a new leading striker.
With Olivier Giroud’s potential departure gaining momentum, Milan is eyeing Joshua Zirkzee, Viktor Gyokeres, Jonathan David, and Benjamin Sesko as top candidates to fill the position.
Giroud, meanwhile, has received a contract proposal from Los Angeles FC, along with more lucrative offers from other clubs, with a decision expected by season’s end.
However, Milan’s interest in Gyokeres comes with challenges, as Sportitalia reports no direct negotiations have been initiated.
Given the striker’s numerous high-profile admirers, Sporting CP is anticipated to demand his full release clause of €100 million.
Milan’s strategic financial planning and targeted acquisitions aim to close the gap with rivals such as Inter Milan.
Barring any unforeseen complications from ongoing investigations, Milan is in a prime position to lead Serie A teams into the summer, focusing on enhancing their squad with calculated additions.
