A whole host of AC Milan players have uncertain futures with the club coming into this summer transfer window, with as many as 11 not sure what happens next.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), the summer will be unpredictable as rotational players and key players could be on the move if the right bids come in.
In terms of big names, it can’t be ruled out that French duo Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez leave. Milan are trying to renew their contracts, but Bayern Munich have shown serious interest in both.
With a high-level central defender expected to arrive, Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Matteo Gabbia will all be under the microscope as some of them will be getting less minutes if they stay.
Into midfield, Ismael Bennacer has not slotted back in after his injury in the way that many expected and he could fetch a useful fee, whilst Yacine Adli may also be sacrificed to raise money for other areas.
In the attack, Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze are thought to be playing for their futures after underwhelming first seasons in Milan, whilst Luka Jovic is not guaranteed a contract beyond next season and he will have no guarantee of minutes if two strikers are signed.
In just going to keep posting this for the rest of the summer…

I’ll leave it to the money people and the scouts to find out who to sign!
DM: Verratti / Jorginho
AM: Joao Felix / Ceballos
CF: Scamacca
Thank you!
Love the idea of Verratti!
DM: Both too old for the project
AM: $$$/No Thanks – turned us down EVERY time.
CF: Not Happening. Atalanta will want $$$
For the DM ,that’s precisely the reason – Old(experience). I understand the project and Verrattis financial operations may not be cheap salary wise but first we’ve to make sure a department is good enough by any means then consider filling everything else with youngsters. Giroud and Kjaer are leaving. Jorginho /Verratti not as old and should be able to replace that character and leadership, especially given how the midfield is lacking that. But I’m open their younger version – an established quality DM with good leadership.
Great! MEEZ 2.0 incoming….
Honestly though… Please don’t.
