The AC Milan market finally takes shape, with returns, renewals and new arrivals.
Let’s go in order. The Tonali operation was exhausting at times, but the savings on the previous agreement are considerable and will give more room for maneuver at the entrance.
The player is expected to make a big leap in quality after last disappointing season.
Even the renewal of Calabria represents another important step to restart: a player who in 20-21 made an incredible upgrade and who next year will be able to confirm himself as Milan’s column.
The official return of Brahim Diaz is also awaited: the Spaniard found his dimension in the final part of the championship, closing the season with 7 goals and 4 assists, despite not an extraordinary time. With a year of Milan on his shoulders and overcoming the physiological difficulties of acclimatization, the 21-year-old will be a very important weapon for Mister Pioli’s chessboard. The announcement should arrive this week.
After Maignan, here is another Frenchman. Giroud is a striker who needs no introduction, but perhaps an in-depth analysis can help to understand his value. One of the ‘rumors’ about the now former Chelsea is that he is not a great striker. Going to scroll through the career and the statistics, however, a decidedly different picture emerges. The striker scores a goal every 161 minutes in the Premier League, an average that even improves in Europe. In the Champions League he scored 18 goals and 6 assists in 41 games, numbers in hand, the Frenchman in the top European competition scores every 126 minutes, while in EL every 119 minutes.
We are talking about a player of great experience (and notable palmares), who therefore represents a guarantee also in terms of realization: moreover his goals have an extraordinary specific weight, a particular one not to be underestimated.
Considering that the main limitation of last season was the attack, with Giroud Mister Pioli can feel much more comfortable. The management will try to support him and Ibra with a young man who can fit in without too much pressure: Kajo Jorge, a 19-year-old Brazilian, is an option but without economic follies given the imminent expiry of his contract with Santos.
On the way out, Pobega and Hauge’s sacrifices are almost certain, reluctantly, to help finance the incoming market.
The most important shot will be the attacking midfielder. Ziyech remains the favorite, but we report contacts with Isco’s entourage, which Real wants to start. There is a liking for Leipzig’s Sabitzer, but in this case also a lot of competition.
We close with Kessie: confirmed our indiscretion about a 5.5 million euro offer from Milan, which absolutely wants to please the Ivorian, but without participating in auctions. The midfielder, in words, has assured that he wants to stay and renew: now to move on to the facts must be overcome the last obstacle which is called Atangana, his agent.
