The latest financial report from Milan, which will be approved today, shows a second consecutive surplus of 4.1 million euros.
This result will please those managing the club's finances, but it matters little to the fans. The famous financial 'scudetto' doesn’t bring any real trophies, and without results on the field, there are no commercial results.
What is not reflected in the numbers of Milan's financial report is the real ambition to win, not just to finish in the top four and consider anything beyond that as a bonus.
A glaring example of this attitude will be seen in the January transfer market, where it will be necessary to intervene to acquire at least one midfielder since it is uncertain how Ismael Bennacer will return from yet another serious injury in recent years.
If Milan realises it is in a constant battle for fourth place, then it might take action; otherwise, if it finds itself in a more defined position, the refrain of Galliani's memory might echo in their ears: "Fine as we are."
