The upcoming friendlies will provide increasingly reliable indications of the AC Milan squad's progress and allow the coaching staff to assess different tactical solutions ahead of the start of the competitive season. The tour therefore represents a valuable testing ground as Milan look to build an increasingly competitive side.
Meanwhile, transfer speculation continues, with Konstantinos Karetsas remaining the club's top target. This morning, Tuttosport ran the headline:
"Milan are targeting Karetsas, but first they must trim the squad."
The Rossoneri need to close the gap between their offer and Borussia Dortmund's bid.
