Refreshing the squad!
A.C. Milan had an amazing season last year, no doubt about it. But as all good thing, if you don't work in order to retain this, all of those strengths will go to waist.
That's exactly why the Italian club and the Israeli manager
Or Dabool has decided to spend all of the
£90M budget he got for last season's quality.
Dabool started up by signing permanently his young midfielder,
Andre Poli who was co-owned with
Sampdoria for
£5M. The player is one of Milan's great hopes for the future.
After that, Dabool has decided to sign up 2 of last season loaned-in players.
Pablo Armero (£2.4M/Udinese) and
Joel Campbell (£12M/Arsenal) are now officially a Rosseneri after playing so well last season.
Next up, Dabool wanted to add some strength to the midfield area by introducing both
Sergi Roberto and
Johannes Geis. Roberto was unsettled at
Barcelona, and signed for
£2.6M. As for Geis, the hard working defensive midfield left
Mainz for
£5.75M.
After the scenario with Diego Lopez last season, Dabool has decided that he needs another strong goalkeeper in his squad to back up Lopez. That is the exact reason why Swiss goalkeeper,
Roman Bürki, has joined the Italians from
Freiburg (£9M)
With the money left in the bank, Dabool has decided he wants to bring two star players for the UEFA Champions League. The players are Manchester City's
Matija Nastasić (£30.5M) and Barcelona's
Munir El Haddadi (£27M).
Nastasić is a strong, confident young defender who can really work up with Alex and Rami at the back, and Munir is a 19 years old kid that wants to show the world that he can be the best.
The players who left the club were all the loaned in except for Fernando Torres who has another season with Milan. Also,
Alessandro Matri,
Michael Essien,
Didac Vila,
Valter Birsa and
Robinho has all left the team.
With this new set of players, will Milan's success continue?
