AC Milan will have a transfer budget of around 80 million in the summer, and the team will be fully strengthened.
The rossonera's owner, Elliott Group, intends to invest about 80 million euros in the upcoming summer transfer market, not including the possible benefits of the club's player sale. The management hopes to give the team a steady boost in strength through reinforcements, and to hit the Serie A title next season and successfully reach the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Pioli's side have reinforcement needs on all three fronts, and with the contract extensions of captain Romagnoli and midfielder Casey not going well, the vacancies they have left need to be filled. In addition, in terms of front and center forwards, the Rossoneri also need to find suitable rotation options and increase the depth of the bench, thus providing more tactical possibilities for the coaching staff.
Both Florenzi and Messias will expire at the end of the season, and both will most likely remain at the San Siro Stadium, which also means that Maldini and Masala will have to pay a combined transfer fee of around 10 million euros for them. The contracts of the other two loan players, Bakayoko and Díaz, although expiring at the end of 2023, have different prospects for the future, with the Frenchman likely to be sent back to Chelsea early, while the Spanish youngster will remain in the squad and decide next summer as the situation may be.
The closest target in the forward line is Torino's 28-year-old Italy international Belotti, whose contract will officially expire in the summer, with news pointing out that the two sides have finalized the agreement in advance. Two midfielders, Poberga and Adélie, will return next season, with rossoners interested in bringing in Portugal international Renato Sanchez from Lille, with a player worth around €20 million. AC Milan's biggest target in the backline has been the Netherlands international Botman, and the club's management is willing to make a transfer fee offer totaling about 30 million euros.
