Sandro Tonali was sold to Newcastle in the summer and as a result, AC Milan were able to invest a hefty amount on ten signings. Another ‘star exit’ cannot be excluded for the upcoming summer and there are three main suspects, a report claims.
Milan received around €70-80m from the sale of Tonali and used that money to sign a total of ten players. Their budget increased significantly, in other words, and they ended up spending a total of €134m including bonuses.
According to Calciomercato.com, Giorgio Furlani’s words in a recent interview – refusing to rule out another star sale – has sparked speculation on social media. Which will be the next star exit? There are three main suspects.
The first is Mike Maignan, whose contract with the club will expire in 2026. An important offer is being prepared for a contract renewal, but an agreement is not a certainty at the moment. Therefore, without a renewal before the summer, he could be sold for at least €60m.
The other two suspects are, of course, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. Both have ended up on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese winger has a release clause of €175m, but an offer over €100m could perhaps be enough to convince the Rossoneri.
For now, however, the players and the management are fully focused on the current campaign and achieving success.
