Leeds: Wilfried Gnonto, Luis Sinisterra
Leicester: Youri Tielemans
Southampton: Carlos Alcaraz and maybe Romeo Lavia

Tielemans the only "experienced" player of these is also a free agent at the end of the season, could be a nice addition (if we're not giving up on Belgians Devilol). The others are younger and talented, some of them we've even been linked to in the past as well.
Kamada with a farewell assist. Set up Kolo Muani.

It seems he is coming to us, big upgrade if true.
Pioli: ‘Milan need to improve squad to be competitive’

Stefano Pioli urges Milan to invest after securing Champions League qualification for the third season in a row. ‘If we want to be competitive in two tournaments, then clearly the squad needs to be improved.’

Do Milan have the resources available to make a splash on the transfer market or will it be another summer pinching the pennies?

“That is a question for the club, not for me, Maldini and Massara communicate with the owners, they will know what to do and what resources are available.”
Kamada seems to be a real thing now that we have CL. Multiple people, Di Marzio and others, saying it.
^^^^^^

Multiple reports confirmed Kamada, this is via Romano:

Daichi Kamada is set to join Milan now as the Serie A side have qualified for the Champions League next season. The Japanese midfielder (26) will sign a 5-year-contract as free agent. Atlético Madrid out. Kamada also turned down a top proposal of Borussia Dortmund.
It is said that the medical is in a week. I guess we will find out very soon.

Milan still seems to be an attractive destination for Japanese players.

who else beside honda? i never see any other japanese player, but i have seen an indian player though i forgot his name, playing under carlo era in DM position if i remember correctly
Signing Kamada for free & whole budget left (rumor 70M) is a very good start.

The arrival also solve many problems:
- A CAM good at defending: 1.6 tackles, 0.5 interception, 1.3 fouls in a match, almost same as Bennacer, Tonali & Krunic, and much better than CDK & Diaz
- A CAM good at... CAM: he can open the tight defense with passes and shoots (best conversion rate in Germany with 33.3%), more direct than the make-shifters like Bennacer or Krunic
- A good CM
- Can sometimes be put on the left or right wing
- Reopen Japanese market

When Bennacer comes back from injury, CDK learned the way to play, and we buy someone like Frattesi or Baldanzi, the mid area is complete.

If we buy Diaz, he will be moved on the wings, if not, we must buy someone with speed as Messias & Salad are not very effective.

Vikash Dhorasoo Sagrin
We must sign Gnonto. This guy has a lot of potential. He can play RW too. This is a no brainer
AC MILAN
