AC Milan, despite the obstacles and injuries of key players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaer, are still in Scudetto contention. The squad, coached by Stefano Pioli, is in need of strong players for next season to stay competitive and improve the level of quality further. Despite the good run of form this season, in general, the team lacks more firepower and stability which would come with a solid bench.
Paolo Maldini himself agrees that the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaer is felt: "We are competitive, but without Kjaer and Zlatan we suffer a bit of lack of experience which is fundamental. On a general level, however, the Champions League this year told us that we must improve in all departments to compete." as relayed by Calciomercato.com.
The source mentioned above writes that the club is targeting Sven Botman to bolster the centre-back position. But, Milan could choose to sign one more player in the same role if Alessio Romagnoli decides to leave on a free at the end of the season.
As for the midfield department, we can expect the returns of Tommaso Pobega from Torino and Yacine Adli from Girondins de Bordeaux from their respective loan spells while the dream shot remains Renato Sanches.
The red and black faithful also need a really strong addition in the attacking department. On the left-wing, Rafael Leao is working hard, but on the right, someone who is equally talented and explosive can be a great upgrade for AC Milan. The centre-forward position will also be closely observed with Andrea Belotti being one of the targets as he can be available on a free transfer in the summer's transfer market window.
