For AC Milan, having performed very well for most of the season, after entering the final stages of the league, they seem to have lost the good inertia of the season and have been unable to win against weak teams in a row. Judging from the standings, although they are still in the leading position, they have actually lost the initiative to compete for the title due to their disadvantage in the number of games. As long as Inter score 3 points in the make-up, they will regain the "leader" position. With few league games left, the situation for the title race for Pioli and his players is already less optimistic.
However, judging from the recovery from injuries, the team still has some good news. Rebic, who has been suffering from injuries this season, is back on the training ground. This season, the Croatian winger was once considered the team's main player. From the technical point of view, his speed and scrambling ability is the best in the team, which makes Pioli, who pursues fast-forward tactics, very appreciative. Unexpectedly, however, he was at a complete disadvantage in the competition with Leo. Coupled with the inability to completely get rid of injuries, It is difficult for Rebic to maintain sufficient attendance. And from the perspective of personal competitive status, continuous injuries have also greatly affected his competitive state. In most of his appearances, Rebic has not produced convincing performances to the manager and teammates, averaging just 6.48 points per game in the league this season. Judging from the current situation, Rebic's position in the team is not stable, and the possibility of leaving the team at the end of the season is not small.
Unlike Rebic, who has returned to normal training, Ibrahimovic and Florenzi are still some time away from returning to the field. In the forward line, AC Milan has obvious problems in terms of scoring ability, the players in the midfield seem to have lost the "shooting boots", and no one can stand up to "turn the tide" when the team needs to score. Generally speaking, when a team is in a difficult situation, it is when veteran players like Ibrahimovic come into play. It is reported that Ibrahimovic is still about 10 days away from having the conditions to play, which is very important for the team. If the striker can "come back as scheduled" and show a good competitive state, the team still has the opportunity to "wrench the wrist" with its competitors. Florenzi has also recovered faster than expected from injury, and while the winger is not the team's main player, his dedication and fighting spirit are also very important to the team.
However, no matter what kind of results the team finally achieves in the league this season, the team is bound to make a relatively large adjustment to the lineup. For example, on the forward line. Judging from the situation this season, the age structure of the team is indeed very unsatisfactory. During the long season, Ibrahimovic and Giroud's physical and injury weaknesses exhausted them, while the young Ražitic never used his training performances to win the opportunity to play. As things stand, it's even possible that all three players will leave the team at the end of the season. It is reported that Origi has come very close to coming to the San Siro Stadium. The centre-forward has basically reached an agreement with the team, and he has received an annual salary of 3.5 million euros. Although he is not a prolific goalscorer from the performance of his career, after all, he is in the year of playing, and his arrival can significantly increase the vitality of the team's front line.
In the midfield, when the departure of players such as Casey is basically a foregone conclusion, the team is also actively looking for some "good and cheap" players. According to transfer expert Rudi Galetti, Perisic's delay in reaching an agreement on a contract extension with the team has given AC Milan an opportunity to poach the Inter milan. It is reported that AC Milan has communicated with it and discussed the possibility of joining the team on a free transfer after the end of the season. However, Perisic requires an annual salary of more than 5 million euros and requires at least a 2-year contract. Considering he's 33 years old, it's no small challenge for AC Milan.
In addition, in terms of players in the team, as mentioned above, Leo's ability to improve this season is obvious to all, and the value of 50 million euros has not only made him the most expensive player in the team, but also become the team's "star". However, this also brings an obvious problem, that is, his expectations for his salary package have also increased significantly. According to Italian media, AC Milan has always hoped to persuade him to accept an offer of 4 million euros in annual salary, but from the current situation, Leo does not intend to accept such a proposal. It is reported that for Leo's attitude, AC Milan is not satisfied, and the team even has the idea of "sweeping it out". If there is a team that can offer an offer of 90 million euros, the team will agree to the transfer. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
