AC Milan have been busy in the summer, hiring Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri, and there are already some transfer plans.
As Calciomercato.com report, a lot revolves around Tijjani Reijnders who is in the sights of Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side have not yet offered the €75m that Milan want, but the feeling is that it is only a matter of time, while Reijnders has agreed personal terms too.
The next few days will be decisive, because City want the Dutchman to make his debut for them at the Club World Cup in the USA. Then, the feeling is that the budget will be around €120m for the Rossoneri’s summer window, so Tare and Allegri can get to work.
The first task would be to try and reinforce a midfield that would lose its best player. Morten Frendrup of Genoa is one name being followed, as is Hans Nicolussi Caviglia of Venezia. The favourite, however, remains Samuele Ricci.
To get him from Torino, a figure of around €30m is needed. There is a sort of pact between the player and the club whereby, should an offer of this kind arrive, he would leave to take a step forward in his career. Milan meanwhile could offer up some counterparts.
Milan will listen to offers for Theo Hernandez, Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori to further boost the funds available. In terms of centre-backs, Mario Gila from Lazio is very popular -who Tare knows well – plus Jaka Bijol at Udinese and Giovanni Leoni at Parma.
In terms of replacing Theo, Andrea Cambiaso – Allegri’s former player at Juventus – is held in high regard, but Destiny Udogie at Tottenham is even more popular. He is indispensable for Spurs though, and would leave for no less than €40m
