View|After selling Tonali to account for 70 million, Milan bought the Blues' two abandoned players and spent most of it, is it a profit or a loss?
The anger of selling Tonali is still there
After Tonali's $70 million official transfer to Newcastle United, AC Milan's Redbird Group senior management received a large transfer account. According to previous media reports, they also relied on this to triple Milan's transfer budget. Although this sounds good, Milan supporters are still very angry, after all, it is Milan's captain's successor!
Although this 70 million euros sounds like a lot, it is not very helpful in terms of actual purchases. After all, the market premium in football is very serious now, and it is really staggering that a young player and a star of hope can cost 70 or 80 million euros at every turn.
The two joined and spent most of the 70 million
Fortunately, the Red Bird Group's actions are also relatively fast. After selling Tonali, they quickly reached an agreement with the well-connected Chelseaberry boss to buy Blues abandoned Loftus Loftus-Cheek and youngster Christian Pulisic, who did not offer a price. The transfer costs of the two men totaled 36 million euros, not counting the additional terms, which can be said to have spent most of the 70 million in return.
It can be said that Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic were once favorites with high hopes at Stamford Bridge, and they have also proved their strength in part of the time and have both qualified as the main players. However, due to various factors, he slowly played worse and worse, so that he had no place in the team, and then sought a way out and came to Milan to start a new chapter.
Cheek + Pulisic, whether it is a loss or a gain
For these two deals, it still caused a lot of controversy in the comment section and in Milan fan circles. Many supporters believe that such a transfer is meaningless, whether Cheek and Pulisic can adapt to the rhythm of Serie A, and another said, buying players of this level will not help Milan much in their task of revival. Pioli's return to coaching a mediocre squad will only return Milan to darkness again.
Opponents argue that Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic played poorly, simply because they didn't have a chance to play with the Blues, and their individual talent and abilities were not shown. After coming to Milan, they are also giants, they have a very enterprising desire and fighting spirit, so they stimulate their form, but they are far more profitable than the 16 million and 20 million euros transfer fee. It must be known that Cheek's predicted price at his peak was also nearly 50 million euros, and Christian Pulisic was as high as 60 million euros. If they can slowly return to their actual level at the San Siro, then the Rossoneri will really make a lot of money.
Summer training will verify
It is still unknown who is the truth. Cheek Cheek and Christian Pulisic do have big hidden dangers, especially in the Blues' final two seasons, slowly becoming marginal figures, and confidence is bound to be shaped and built again. However, they do have a certain talent, and there is a chance for salvation. Milan will start their summer training this week and will fly to the United States to play against top teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juve.
What the state of Lofty and Christian Pulisic will be at that time, whether they can be integrated into Pioli's tactics, and there will be answers to where Milan should target in the new season. For Milan supporters, it is certainly a hope that they can integrate better, which will also give Tonali a more gratifying excuse for the sad incident of his sale.
