The issue concerning the choice of coach is just the tip of the iceberg at AC Milan. For the upcoming season, decisions need to be made on various matters to create a competitive squad in all competitions.
Today's Gazzetta dello Sport edition discusses the players who might be in limbo this summer, starting with Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, both whose contracts expire in June 2026.
The French goalkeeper's goal is to win, and for this, he wants a competitive team: if he does not find these conditions, his departure is far from being ruled out. At the moment, there are no scheduled meetings for renewal, and the demands remain high.
The full-back, on the other hand, is closely followed by Bayern Munich, which could say goodbye to Alphonso Davies (heading to Madrid). The club does not intend to offer discounts, but according to the newspaper, the valuation of 100 million euros has "inevitably decreased" after the last season.
In defence, Simon Kjaer will be leaving, and the club will acquire a new strong central defender. The question remains about his partner: Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, or Pierre Kalulu?
In midfield, Yacine Adli seems likely to leave, while in attack, another Frenchman, Olivier Giroud, is certain to depart. The stay of Luka Jovic, whose contract is expiring, is also in doubt, while there will be further chances for Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze to showcase their abilities and skills.
