Shadows on the future of the Rossoneri. Without the Champions League, another Milan. The big European clubs are sounding out Leao. And Theo (expires in 2026) can leave

Milan's obsession with fourth place, currently at -6. A question of prestige, of revenue (the last Champions brought in about 60 million), but also of the market. Without noble Europe, the siren song, in our continent and beyond, could resonate very, very loudly for the jewels of the Devil.

Su Tijjani Reijnders the club moved early: contract extended until 2030, doubled salary (3,5 million plus bonuses). But the big clubs have long had their eyes on the Dutch midfielder who has scored 13 times this season: Barcelona, ​​City and Chelsea, among others, could offer prospects and big money.

Similar speech for Christian Pulisic: all that's missing is the signature on the renewal until 2029 with a salary increase (from 4 to around 5 million). The American, even recently, has publicly expressed his desire to stay, but watch out for Liverpool's interest in finding Salah's replacement.

The Premier League could also knock on your door Lion: the Portuguese is tied to the Rossoneri by a clause of 175 million (valid in the first two weeks of July, before and after he must pass through Casa Milan), Chelsea are still following him, as has already happened in the past. Same goes for Barcelona and Al Nassr.

Time to time, while that of Theo Hernandez is running out: the contract expiring in June 2026 will most likely not be extended, so this summer the Frenchman will be on the market ("we cannot afford to lose players for free", Moncada's recent words).

Chapter loans: Joao Felix is ​​already expected to return to London in a few months. The issue of Abraham is more complicated, as his salary should be reduced (5 million). Roma has the Saelemaekers card on its side, even if the operations are separate: 25 million for the centre forward, 15 for the Belgian is the initial valuation, but a lot has changed.

Then, there are many loans with the right to buy that will need to be worked on: from Pierre Kalulu to Yacine Adli (exchange with Riccardo Sottil?), from Ismail Bennacer to Noah Okafor, passing through Tommaso Pobega and Lorenzo Colombo. On the contrary, the redemption of Kyle Walker from City (5 million) was given as a pure formality, at the time of his arrival.

Milan, however, is also working on incoming players, given their desire to renegotiate the agreement with Real Madrid (which has the right to buy back) on Alex Jimenez. The 23-year-old Samuele Ricci of Torino has been an (expensive) target for some time, as has a left back: Maxim De Cuyper (24 years old, Bruges) and Tyrick Mitchell (25 years old, Crystal Palace) on the notebook. Also followed are the Olympiacos stars Christos Mouzakitis (2006) and Charalampos Kostoulas (2007), as well as the 21-year-old Verona defender Diego Coppola.
