The revolution started in January by Milan will continue in the summer. Simeone has a Rossoneri in his sights: possible transfer to Atletico.
It launched a real revolution at Milan during the winter market session. The club, on the one hand, welcomed top players of the caliber of Kyle Walker, Santiago Gimenez and Joao Felix plus a young hopeful like Warren Bondo. On the other, it has said goodbye to a number of elements Sergio Conceicao deemed not indispensable. The list, in particular, contains the names of Ismael Bennacer, Alvaro Morata, Noah Okafor and Davide Calabria. A deep restyling, destined to continue in the summer.

Indeed, there are several elements of the current group who, barring surprises, will say goodbye to the company at the end of the current season to move elsewhere. Already certain, in this sense, is the departure of Luka Jovic, who has slipped back in the hierarchies and expires in five months. The management coordinated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in the past few weeks, had tried to place him at Torino or Monza however, both negotiations fell through because of the clear “no” expressed by the former Fiorentina player, who was little attracted by the idea of moving between the Granata and Brianza ranks.
As a result, the 27-year-old Serbian will stay until June and then leave on a zero-parameter basis. The same goes for Alessandro Florenzi, who has never taken the field so far because of the serious injury he suffered in August. The renewal of the striker and the right-back is not in the plans of the management, which is intent on replacing them by taking reinforcements more congenial to the style of play practiced by Conceicao. Also possible is the transfer of Malick Thiaw in light of the numerous expressions of interest received recently.
Mercato Milan, un rossonero verso la cessione: lo vuole Simeone
Two Premier League bigwigs had come forward for the 23-year-old German in January: these were Newcastle and Aston Villa, who tried several times to wrest him from Milan and to convince the 2001-year-old to land in England. The offers made by the ‘Magpies’ and the ‘Villains,’ however, have remained far from the 40 million asked by the Rossoneri, who are not willing to give discounts on the price displayed in the window. Now in pole position appears to be Atletico Madrid, immediately set to look for potential reinforcements to hand over to Diego Simeone.

The Colchoneros have entered the race, making some inquiries aimed at checking the feasibility of the coup and sounding out Thiaw’s willingness to join the red and white cause. A market idea that may become a concrete reality within a few weeks. Milan, for its part, considers the central yes important but not fundamental within the new project started: the divorce, therefore, is possible.
