AC Milan transfer window priorities: a new center-back, Renato Sanches and two signings already done
One month ago AC Milan fans were celebrating winning the Scudetto after an 11-year wait, but many things have changed since then. First of all, the Rossoneri have changed the ownership, with the American private investment firm RedBird Capital signing a preliminary agreement to buy the club. The firm's founder, Gerry Cardinale, took charge of the club, and he's putting his imprint on multiple aspects of AC Milan. The official announcement arrived at the beginning of June and the transition to new ownership will take place over the summer, with an expected closing of no later than September 2022. Meanwhile Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are working to improve the roster, but things are going kind of slow as of now, in part thanks to that transition. AC Milan goalkeeper outlook Staying: Mike Maignan, Ciprian Tatarusanu Uncertain future: Antonio Mirante Last summer was the one that saw a major change between the sticks, with Gianluigi Donnarumma leaving AC Milan at the end of his contract and the club signing former Lille keeper Mike Maignan. He ended up becoming the best goalkeeper of the season in Serie A. He's set to stay with Ciprian Tatarusanu as his number two. Ideal moves: The future of the third goalkeeper, Antonio Mirante, is still undecided. While talks over a new contract are still on, the club still hasn't taken a final decision about him. If he stays, Alessandro Plizzari who is back from the loan at Lecce will leave again next season. AC Milan defense outlook Staying: Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi Leaving: Alessio Romagnoli Uncertain future: Matteo Gabbia, Fodé Ballo-Touré Stefano Pioli's defense was one of the keys to last season's title with only 31 goals conceded in Serie A. So, there's not much to do to improve this unit. Former Chelsea defender Tomori is set to stay and he's also in talks over a new contract while Simon Kjaer will be back after recovering from an ACL injury. AC Milan's captain Alessio Romagnoli will leave but he's likely to stay in Italy with both AC Monza and Lazio interested on him. On the outside, Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria will stay for sure, and the Rossoneri will also buy Alessandro Florenzi permanently from AS Roma after a very positive season. Ideal moves: The number one priority for AC Milan is a new center back and Sven Botman was the main name for months until he decided to opt for Newcastle. The Lille defender had been in talks with the Italian club since January but ultimately he decided to not wait anymore and he's about to sign with Newcastle. AC Milan will now have to take a look at some alternative names. Both Gabbia and Ballo-Touré should stay this summer as well, but if something changes the club will look for their replacements too. AC Milan midfield outlook Staying: Sandro Tonali, Brahim Diaz Leaving: Tiémoué Bakayoko, Franck Kessie
