The start of the new season is approaching, July 8th with the meeting at Milanello there will also be Paulo’s conference Fonseca and we will understand from a technical point of view how the Portuguese intends to work. But one thing is already certain: the new Milan coach will have to limit the injury problem. Together with his staff Fonseca is studying alternative methodologies on summer athletic training to put a stop to muscular problems.
It should be remembered that next season there will be even more matches, the calendar will be much busier for Milan, but the first objective of the club and Fonseca is to limit injuries. Last year it was one of the reasons for the Rossoneri’s collapse between November and December. A disaster that then affected the entire year.
On the market, the management is waiting for news on Zirkzee. The operation is advanced, Milan is in pole position, but the final step on commissions is still missing. The feeling is that Kia Joorabchian is playing on the upside and is hoping for the inclusion of other teams (Manchester United above all) to gain as many advantages as possible. And even the Dutchman’s call-up to the European Championships significantly extended the time. But Milan doesn’t give up and wants to take Zirkzee. The first alternative is Artem DovbykUkrainian from Girona.
In midfield the new name is that of the Brazilian Andrè (22 years old) from Fluminense. Fofana and Wieffer are important targets but the cost can be an obstacle. There is also Hojbjerg leaving Tottenham as a possible reinforcement in midfield.
However, the Rossoneri moved forward at right back. Emerson Royal he came out recently, but they have already had an agreement in principle with the Brazilian for a few weeks. There is no agreement with Tottenham and there will still be time to negotiate. In fact, Milan hopes to sign the full-back on advantageous terms, for less than 20 million. And before that they hope to be a striker.
Stadium and Under 23. Probably underestimated news but in Italy scoring two hits like this means making giant steps forward for the club’s future. Yesterday the official approval from the Lombardy Region arrived for the program agreement for the construction of the new stadium in San Donato. It’s only the first step but the direction is the right one. An owned stadium brings 70-80 million euros more to a club every year, this means that in 5 years, if everything goes well, Milan will have significant stadium revenues to add to the other revenues. Not to mention the growing appeal towards potential investors.
Then the Under23, now official in a few hours from the FIGC, is something rare in Italy. Milan is only the third club to have a team, and for this investment the club has invested 12 million euros, plus all the adaptation work on the Solbiate Arno stadium.
