AC Milan will revisit the past when Tijjani Reijnders leaves and will look to the sale of Sandro Tonali for inspiration.
Selling Reijnders, though not as emotional, is seen as very similar to Tonali’s departure. A star in midfield that the club could build around, sold for money, rather than because they had asked to leave.
However, Tonali’s exit allowed Reijnders to arrive, so it had some positives, arguably. So, the club will look at that summer for inspiration.
Many would hope that with a significant cash injection, the Rossoneri would go for a big player, like Tonali, for example. However, it seems it will be done in a different way. As TMW journalist Antonello Gioia reports, the same approach could be taken, where the Diavolo buy an unknown who is ready.
So, when Tonali left, the three that arrived, of note, were Reijnders, Yunus Musah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. All three have had differing spells in Rossonero, of course, but it seems with more clarity, it could again be the plan.
The profiles which Milan want to add have already been clarified. So, now it is the difficult job of finding the players. After all, with the failings of last season’s mercatos, more Musah-like additions would be terrible for all parties.
