While Milan have yet to truly zero in on a new coach, their future roster is starting to take shape. Olivier Giroud has announced his departure, and Simon Kjaer is on his way out as well. Among their stars, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, who have combined for 29 goals, will stay put, SportMediaset informs.
Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan’s contracts are up in 2026. The extension talks with them haven’t gone far for now, especially with the goalie. The offers for them will be evaluated.
Milan will restart from Tijjani Reijnders, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Yunus Musah in the midfield. Ismael Bennacer, who has a €50M release clause, isn’t considered untouchable. The same goes for Fikayo Tomori, who hasn’t been as dominant in the past. The Rossoneri want to add a top-end center-back, likely replacing one of their current ones.
A new right-back is on their agenda, and he’ll compete with Davide Calabria, whose contract runs out in 2025. The negotiation with Luka Jovic has gone back and forth. Instead, Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze are expected to have another campaign to prove their worth after a seesawing maiden one in Serie A.
Our Take on Milan
If they want to really challenge Inter, they should confirm most of their squad, especially the center-pieces, and add two or three select studs; otherwise, they’d be making just lateral moves and lessen the powerful effect that comes with having continuity.
