CorSera: Milan aiming to make one signing per department in the summer | OneFootball

There are still four games remaining until the end of the 2023-24 season, but a lot of the speculation surrounding AC Milan at the moment is regarding the future rather than the present.

This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) reports that everyone’s minds are already turned to the future and in particular to the choice of the new coach who will replace Stefano Pioli.

The process to identify his successor is open and at the moment the names that are in the running are as follows: Sergio Conceiçao of Porto, Paulo Fonseca of Lille, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Mark van Bommel of Antwerp.

The paper adds that it is a decision that the management absolutely have to get right, because everything else depends on it, especially the summer transfer window.

Milan will need at least three significant signings – one for each department – to consolidate the squad and make it even more competitive. That means a striker, a midfielder and a defender.

Given how far ahead Inter are in the league the directors will have to try and bridge the gap with a good summer mercato, though it does seem unlikely there will be as much business as last summer when 10 players arrived.
