Sandro Tonali, one of Milan's most significant captures in recent memory, is departing for England after just three seasons with the Rossoneri.

Once the sale of Tonali goes through, it will help provide Milan with a windfall of cash, and so the Rossoneri are set for a huge summer. The task is to not only replace the 23-year-old but to strengthen elsewhere too. However, just how much of that money will be made available to purchase new signings remains to be seen.
