Yesterday afternoon, in the cauldron of the 'Dall'Ara' stadium in Bologna, Stefano Pioli's AC Milan and Thiago Motta's Bologna battled to a (1-1) draw. With ten reserves out of eleven in the starting lineup, the Rossoneri managed to secure one point thanks to the goal scored by Tommaso Pobega.
The match served as an opportunity for Milan to conserve precious energy for the return leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Napoli, a tie that is simply too important for them. With the Rossoneri (pending Juventus' penalty decision) currently holding fourth place in Serie A, it's clear that a place in Europe's elite competition next season would be crucial not just from a sporting perspective but also from a market standpoint.
Indeed, Milan's return to the Champions League would undoubtedly enhance their profile and increase their attractiveness to potential investors, sponsors and players alike. However, they must navigate their remaining fixtures with caution and focus to ensure that they achieve their desired objective.
To make the team more competitive in view of next season, AC Milan could target an interesting player who is looking to bounce back... As per a report from Spanish outlet 'Relevo', it seems that the Rossoneri management has set its sights on Mason Greenwood who is a 21-year-old right winger owned by Manchester United who has just come out of a rather complicated personal situation.
The boy had a long legal dispute regarding incidents of domestic violence against his girlfriend. However, he managed to come out of it with a case acquittal. Naturally, he has been out of the 'Red Devils' squad for a while, and despite a contract expiring on June 30, 2025, he is expected to leave in the summer. AC Milan is ready to assess the feasibility of this move. Before the off-field issues arose, Greenwood was considered one of the brightest talents in Manchester.
