AC Milan's current sporting director Maldini said in an interview with Italian media that he had completed the renewal of his contract with the club. According to a subsequent report by AC Milan reporters, Maldini and The Rossoneri renewed their contract until 2024, with a one-year automatic renewal clause attached to the contract. Due to the delay in the completion of AC Milan's acquisition plan, which also affected the renewal of Milan and Maldini, and the signing of AC Milan did not progress, Dutch centre-back Portman, who had already confirmed to join AC Milan, was signed by Newcastle United for a high price of 37 million euros.
This year's Serie A will start in August, meaning that there is only a month left for Milan, and Maldini has also accelerated transfer negotiations with other teams after confirming the renewal of his contract with the team. At present, AC Milan is in urgent need of an attacking midfielder, according to the latest news from Milan Sports, including Real Madrid midfielder Asensio and Blues midfielder Ziyech have become the targets of AC Milan' reinforcements. Spain international Asensio has always been ac milan's preferred target for reinforcements, but the Spain international is still eager to stay at Real Madrid, so he has rejected a transfer offer from AC Milan, in addition to the two giants of the Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester United are also very interested in Asensio, Real Madrid has raised the player's offer to 40 million euros. At the same time, Asensio hopes that his new owner will be able to offer him a contract with an annual salary of 7 million euros. This is difficult for AC Milan to accept, and they have now withdrawn from the battle for Asensio.
Ac Milan have also stepped up the pace of bringing in Ziyech after being rejected by Asensio, a Moroccan international who has not played his fair share since joining Chelsea and has become a marginal figure for the Blues, but Ziyech's current transfer fee is still as high as 28 million euros. But AC Milan were reluctant to buy out directly, and the players made a loan and buyout offer to Chelsea. AC Milan want to get Ziyech for a €5 million loan fee, plus a forced buyout of €20 million.
With the inability to shake the main positions of Havertz and Jorginho, Ziyech could only serve as a substitute for the team for most of last season, and Chelsea also hope to get a part of the transfer income from Ziyech's transfer for reinforcements in other positions, so both manager Tuchel and the Blues top brass are open to the Morocco international's going. Although AC Milan won the First Division trophy last season, the Serie A giants are still in the reconstruction phase, and in this midfield-starved AC Milan, Yehe will play a crucial role, and he also hopes to prove his worth again in his new owner.
In addition to Ziyech, AC Milan have not given up on their chase for Lille midfielder Renato Sanchez, who has now received a transfer offer of €30 million from Paris. AC Milan had previously offered him only a €18 million offer. Rossoneri hopes his addition will take his place, joining Barcelona midfielder Casey this season as a free agent. But as it stands, AC Milan appear to be behind Paris in the scramble for Alexis Sanchez.
