Elliott's AC Milan have been following a clear strategy in the mercato which are precise profiles at affordable prices that can make the squad make the leap in quality.
Certainly, it is no secret that club's plan is to gradually return as a pillar of Europe's elite competition, to return to the Champions League football, and that can be done by investing in the right profiles and making the right moves.
Firstly, there is the Gianluigi Donnarumma contractual situation. With a victory next Sunday in Bergamo, the Campanian goalkeeper could take a step forward against the club by accepting the latest offer of a two-year term with a release clause at 30-35 million euros, Raiola permitting. The club has protected itself anyway by having an agreement with Lille's goalkeeper Mike Maignan in case negotiations fail with the Italian.
Then, the club must also deal with Manchester United's loanee Diogo Dalot. He is almost certain to return to England. The Red Devils want 18 million euros for the Portuguese full-back, a figure considered too high by the Rossoneri management. In defense, therefore, it is possible an investment for two fullbacks who can act as deputy Calabria and Theo Hernandez , but with limited figures (the name of Junior Firpo may return to fashion).
With the entry into the Champions League, the vice-Ibrahimovic profile could be Andrea Belotti, therefore from 25/30 million euros, otherwise the choice will land on Giroud who will be a free agent.
We should also pay attention to the situation of experienced Armenian attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The former Manchester United and Arsenal player pleases the Rossoneri managers at Casa Milan.
As for Fikayo Tomori, the news is that the club is satisfied with him and will want to sign him permanently, the result against Atalanta on Sunday which will determine entry to the UEFA Champions League or not will not affect that decision to buy the player from Chelsea.
