Tomorrow evening, at 9:00 pm in Italy's time, AC Milan will host Cremonese at 'San Siro' for the 33rd matchday of Serie A. Stefano Pioli's team is engaged in the fight to secure a place in the next Champions League and, therefore, is targeting three points against the side which is just one step away from relegation to the second division. Playing in the Champions League or not makes all the difference in the world for the Rossoneri's market strategies for the next season, writes PianetaMilan.it.
AC Milan will use the funds obtained from Champions League qualifications to reinforce the squad in view of next season. There are evaluations to be made before making any decisions first, though. In this sense, it may be possible that Aster Vranckx, the loanee of VfL Wolfsburg may not be signed permanently. Instead, the Rossoneri will use the money allocated to the Belgian's buy-out option (12 million euros) in a different profile who can give more additions.
For example, the Rossoneri squad lacks a true backup for Ismaël Bennacer. They need a midfielder with more defensive qualities who can combine technical skills and quality. According to what has been reported in Spain by 'todofichajes.com', the AC Milan club management has set his sights on Marko Grujić. The Serbian midfielder who is 27 years old, after the failure of his experience in the Premier League with Liverpool, relaunched himself in great style in Portugal with FC Porto.
He has a physical presence (he is 191 centimeters tall), possesses good vision of the game, and has an excellent right foot. In terms of style and characteristics, he is somewhat reminiscent of Nemanja Matić of AS Roma. For 15 million euros, he could land at Milan, ensuring the AC Milan club not only a perfect backup for their regista but also international experience and quality.
