Selling Donnarumma, suso & calha and promoting Plizarri keeping Reina in our squad while buying Cuadrado and Insigne is already a huge improvement and we might even have money left over tbh.

As long as Donnarumma doesn't go to Juventus, I'm more than happy to let him go for the correct offer. Fantastic keeper, very bright future but I've still not completely forgiven him for that summer and Raiola is still his agent so it's bound to happen again.

Sell
Gigio - 50-60
Suso - 38
Hakan -20

Buy
Bakayoko - 35
Insigne 50-60
Cuadrado 25-30(thinking this is what they'll ask not what he's worth)

7m Under

Plus the sale of someone like Kessie(35 minus the 24 we are yet to pay for him - 11m) to Bring in Sensi(20 minus 12m from Locatelli - 8m) and Tonali(25).

And we've spent 37m and ended up with a vastly superior team.
Leonardo and Maldini could yet surprise us with some good deals in there (eg. sell Gigio for more than 60m or buy Insigne for Suso plus 10m) as well as a decent coach.
we've got some marketable players. Just need some good negotiating to buy/sell the right players for the right prices, loan with obligation deals, that sort of thing, and we wouldn't be too far out of pocket.
the only question becomes... would someone like Insigne come if there's no CL? I think he would... with Sarri in charge.

I feel like this summer might be our last chance to capitalize financially on selling Suso, Calhanoglu and perhaps even Castillejo. If they continue to perform the way they have for an entire season next year, I cannot see them being worth much. This summer a lot of clubs will still pay top dollar for Suso because his first half of the season put up good enough numbers to validate a 40m price tag. If you're a Milan fan though, his performances certainly do not tell the full story, and I feel like it's the same was Calhanoglu. We do need rotational players though, and in that respect I wouldn't mind keeping Castillejo over Borini.
