AC Milan are already building next season’s squad. Frequent contacts between Furlani, Tare and Allegri confirm that major planning work has begun, even though at Casa Milan no one yet considers qualification for next season’s Champions League to be secured. First, matters on the pitch must be settled, starting with the clash against Juventus and then the final four matchdays.
Meanwhile, however, the club is moving ahead, receiving important signals on two high-profile names: Alexander Sorloth and Leon Goretzka. Two different profiles, but both fully in line with the idea of a stronger, more experienced and more ready Milan.
Sorloth says yes: Milan have already started the engine:
Alexander Sorloth is currently the leading candidate to become AC Milan’s new striker. The Norwegian has opened the door to a move to Italy and would particularly welcome Milan, where he would have a central role and playing time that he does not currently have in Madrid. At Atlético he has scored plenty, but too often while starting from the bench: a clear signal.
The Rossoneri are negotiating cautiously, as they do not want to overspend on a player who will turn 31 in December. The idea is to start from a base of around €20 million plus bonuses, trying to close the deal before the World Cup in order to avoid increased competition.
Goretzka is the Champions League signing: Allegri is pushing hard:
If Sorloth is the attacking target, Goretzka is the one who could raise the quality of the midfield. The German, set to leave Bayern on a free transfer, has given concrete signals of his appreciation for Milan and the city of Milan, also thanks to Allegri’s influence, as he considers him ideal to raise the level of the midfield unit, as pointed out via Milan News today.
AC Milan have offered him a three-year contract with an option, but they are well aware that the deal is not closed: there is no shortage of suitors. That is why quick action will be required. The new Milan, this time, wants to stop chasing and start striking decisively.
