In the pre-match of Milan-Sampdoria on Sky Sport, Gianluca Di Marzio provided an update on AC Milan's strategies for the transfer market: "I believe Milan will be waiting for De Ketelaere. Tonali and Leao, in their first year, did not live up to expectations. It took them more than a year, even two years in Leao's case. Given their previous performances, I think they will be given another opportunity. It will also depend on the player's demands; I don't think Milan would want to loan him to Club Brugge, for example. They would need to find a different situation, possibly in Italy. Certainly, Milan is already making moves. Loftus-Cheek is a serious and concrete target. Kamada is another concrete target. Milan is not just standing still; they are taking action. After Bennacer's injury, the midfield has become a necessity."
