With one matchday to spare, AC Milan secured qualification for the next Champions League, which will bring in approximately 50 million euros to the Rossoneri's coffers. Since the club is debt-free, these funds will be entirely used in the summer transfer market to strengthen Stefano Pioli's squad, as relayed by Milannews.it. Additionally, there will be some player sales and savings from reducing the wages of certain high-earning players, such as Dest and Bakayoko.
This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that, after signing Marco Sportiello as a backup for Maignan, AC Milan is ready to make another free transfer, namely Daichi Kamada, who will arrive from Eintracht Frankfurt. These two acquisitions, both on a free transfer, will not impact the budget that will primarily be used to reinforce the midfield and attack. In midfield, the hottest name is still Ruben Loftus-Cheek, for whom Chelsea is asking for 25 million euros, while an alternative option is Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo.
Significant moves will occur in the attack as well, where, in addition to a new right winger (unless AC Milan decides to buy Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid and move him to the right wing), two strikers could arrive. The top name on the list is Lois Openda, who is valued at 30-35 million euros by French club Lens. His potential arrival at Milanello would not exclude further addition to the attacking department, of course, with less financial commitment. A concrete name could be Marko Arnautovic from Bologna. On the other hand, there won't be any significant changes in defense unless there are some exceptional offers for either Fikayo Tomori or Pierre Kalulu.
