Today is the time to celebrate a company, but from tomorrow Milan will think about the future. The young and ambitious team, capable of beating all odds, triumphing in the league eleven years after the last time, will inevitably change. There will be no more Kessie who has long ago chosen Barcelona, ​​he will go on a free transfer like others before him. The boos that accompanied his decision in recent weeks have been replaced by the exultation of the public who thanked him for his professionalism. He took his leave with a goal and a ballet in front of the fans at Casa Milan, the managers praised his always impeccable attitude.
It will not be the only goodbye of the old guard, it will also be necessary to define the future of Romagnoli who has the suitcase ready for Rome, on the Lazio side. It will be discussed shortly by the company. He who raised the cup as captain will probably wear another jersey. But he is already ready the shot to reinforce the defensive department. Because a Milan that wants to stay at the top cannot focus only on the Tomori-Kalulu duo, which in any case performed well above expectations. In addition to the redemption of Florenzi, work is being done to obtain from Lille Sven Botman, a 22-year-old central that costs about 30 million. Same figure for Renato Sanches midfielder of Lille who would already be in the details.
Not only that, because the free transfer shot is ready: Divock Origi is coming and will leave Liverpool as a ‘legend’ as declared by Juergen Klopp. It’s the mix that worked so well this year, young talents and experienced players.
Then we will have to armor Rafael Leao. He is the cover player of this Milan, who arrived in double figures both in goals and assists, fast and unpredictable, he shifts the balance.
Once the epilogue of the case with Sporting Lisbon has been clarified, the renewal negotiation will begin. Finally, it is necessary to understand what Ibrahimovic’s decision will be, if he decides to continue and under what conditions.
Knots to untie just as ownership is one step away from changing. After the suspension of the negotiations with Investcorp, the agreement with RedBird which would have offered approximately 1,300 million euros seems to have been finalized. According to rumors, Gerry Cardinale, founder of the US fund and main buyer, was present in Milan today, precisely in the days when Paul and Gordon Singer are also present in the Lombard capital. It is possible that an agreement has been reached, or in any case an accelerated one even if no announcements are expected until next week. “The figures we are talking about – declared Milan president Paolo Scaroni – show that a sporting but also financial success has been achieved. I hope that the negotiations will be concluded before the real start of the transfer market. Maldini and Massara? We are in a phase where ownership could change and I have a hard time making predictions. As far as I’m concerned, they must continue to do the great work they have done in recent years “.
Massara and Maldini, who have their contracts expiring on 30 June, will probably remain. It’s hard to say what the future of the other executives will be. There will probably be a period of continuity with the current management and reflections will be made. A team that wins on and off the pitch has to be largely confirmed, but the future of the Italian champion club is still to be written
