Clear, very clear indications on the strengths and weaknesses of the rose. Milan beat the Norwegians of Bodo Glimt, but showed staff problems especially in the center of defense. Problem well known by the Rossoneri managers, who have been looking for reinforcements for days, weeks that can be valid alternatives to Romagnoli and Kjaer. The young Gabbia is an interesting prospect, but – like Pobega and Brescianini – a season as a starter in a Serie A team or a strong B team could help him to rise further in level and be ready in a year.
The central defenders market is not easy. We absolutely do not believe in Nastasic, but rather in Todibo or a final attempt for Milenkovic or Fofana, the favorites. The midfield must also be replaced by a fourth level element. Krunic is a good player, of strong flexibility, but does not appear as a player who can give a great contribution of quality.. It was perhaps a mistake not to sell it to Freiburg, who had six million plus two bonuses ready. Figures that Milan will hardly see again for Krunic.
With Bakayoko, through their agent Pastorello, Milan have reached an agreement, but it will be a negotiation that can be closed at the end of the market only if Chelsea lower their demands and understand that Baka it means throwing away 12 million salaries. I am not convinced, in a Milan where two or three more pieces are still enough to make it highly competitive, even the choice of Castillejo owner and his first reserve Saelemaekers, good players but more on the bench. Sure, Brahim Diaz could be tried on the right, but a sacrifice for a wing striker should be attempted. Easy to say today but this Hauge, at a cost of 4 or 5 million euros, would certainly raise the quality rate of the department. The dream remains Church. As I said over and over again, an attempt should be tried, but certainly not the figures requested by Fiorentina: 60 or 70 million is certainly too much for many budgets, especially for Milan.
