According to the Milan Sports Newspaper, AC Milan plans to invest 100 million euros to bring in 3 fierce players such as Sanchez to strengthen the lineup. On the other hand, Inter may send off the main defender Devry to make room for new signings, and the Dutch iron gate is worth about 30 million.
AC Milan are in a good position at the moment, with the team at the top of the Serie A table and a chance to win the league title after many years of absence. However, compared with major competitors such as Juve and Inter, Milan's squad thickness is not enough and needs to continue to be strengthened.
According to the report, Milan have already planned the direction of adjusting the lineup. Previously, Milan completed the contract extension with Theo, successfully retained the French flying wing, which is important to the team's offensive and defensive system, and next, they are ready to complete the renewal with Leo and Ibrahimovic. Leo has improved significantly this season, he is currently the team's number one scorer, Milan plan to raise his annual salary to 4 million, and negotiations are going well.
The 40-year-old Ibrahimovic is in good shape and Milan are still very dependent on the Swedish striker. Ibrahimovic's current annual salary is $7 million, and Milan hope he will accept a pay cut (down to about $2.5 million), and the two sides are still in communication. Both sides are interested in continuing to work together, and if Ibrahimovic can accept a pay cut, there are no other obstacles to his staying in the team.
At the same time, Milan plans to invest about 100 million yuan in the summer window for reinforcements, targeting young and powerful young talents. By this standard, Milan have matched three fierce players: Sanchez, Botman and Equitic.

It is reported that Milan have reached an agreement with Sanchez that the Portuguese midfielder will move to the San Siro Stadium for 20 million yuan, and he will replace Casey, whose contract expires. The 22-year-old Is a Dutch centre-back who also plays in Lille and is an absolute mainstay of the team. Milan's positioning of Boltman is the main centre-back, and he may replace Romagnoli, whose contract is about to expire, the former is worth about 30 million, and many clubs are interested in him.
Equitic is a French striker, only 19 years old, who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Reims. This season, Ekitic has scored nine goals and three assists in 21 league games, making him a very sought-after player. In the winter window, Equitic almost joined Newcastle, and the Premier League tycoon gave a 40 million offer at that time. Milan are willing to match a bid of 40 million, and Equitic likes the Rossoneri and may turn down other teams.
Inter, on the other hand, could get Devry out of the game to adjust the staffing of the defence. DeVry's contract has 17 months left to expire and Inter are not planning to renew his contract as dutch centre-backs are 30 years old and they have decided to look for younger players. Inter are said to be hoping to recover 30 million euros through the sale of Devry, and Spurs and Barca are interested in him.
