Following the closure of the mercato, AC Milan can now look at their squad in full. Paulo Fonseca certainly was not afraid to make improvements to his squad, but how does the window rank compared to their Serie A rivals?
This summer was arguably Milan’s biggest in recent years. Not only did the Rossoneri have to improve the squad, but the management had to be mindful of several contract situations, whilst also making moves to improve their newly founded Futuro side.
As such, investments had to be made across several priorities, and this meant there had to be value in each signing, and following the closure of the mercato, and the closure of the Saudi Pro League mercato, an assessment can be made.
Starting with the Diavolo, Gazzetta dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera) states that more than €70 million was spent to kickstart life under a new manager supported by the vision of the architect – Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The arrivals of Strahinja Pavlovic, Emerson Royal, Alvaro Morata and Youssouf Fofana have levelled the squad, and the club got their targets. For this, Gazzetta gives the mercato a solid 7.
Along with Milan, the paper gave Roma, Torino, Atalanta, and Napoli the same scores. Inter earned a 7.5, and in the eyes of Gazzetta, Juventus had the best window, scoring their mercato an 8.
