Igli Tare officially took office two weeks ago, and to say that he has had a busy fortnight would be an understatement. His first big move was to hire Massimiliano Allegri as the head coach, and now the work can begin on completing the squad as best as they possibly can.
The departure of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City is a painful start to the summer in the eyes of the fans, and it is expected that Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez will follow too, so the word ‘reset’ feels fitting.
This morning’s edition of La Repubblica (via MilanNews) writes that after having closed the deal for Luka Modric – with his medical and signature to come in the next few days – the directors are working on two more deals.
The first operation is Parma centre-back Giovanni Leoni, the 18-year-old talent that Massimiliano Allegri in particular is believed to be a big admirer of, even if there is a lot of competition at present.
Then, the other name that Igli Tare and co. are working on is Granit Xhaka, a Bayer Leverkusen midfielder that Allegri would like as the linchpin in the middle of the field for his new Milan.
