From defense to attack, Milan's summer transfer targets revealed

Milan has begun to project the future and is doing so by placing coach Massimiliano Allegri at the center of the technical project. In an important meeting with sports director Igli Tare and administrator Giorgio Furlani, it was decided that the red and black leaders will follow the coach's line for the upcoming transfer window, both in terms of incoming and outgoing players.

Despite rumors of dissatisfaction from both sides and possible interest from the National Team, Allegri will not leave the Milan bench for the 2026/27 season. A clear signal of stability for the red and black club.

Allegri's first priority is to strengthen the defensive department. The main name is Mario Gila, the Spanish center-back of Lazio. The player has received the approval of owner Gerry Cardinale and the technical green light from the coach, who sees him as the new leader of the defense.

In midfield, Allegri is looking for a familiar return: Nicolò Fagioli. The midfielder, whom the coach promoted to Juventus, is currently in Milan's orbit, with negotiations with Fiorentina advancing. The idea is to build an interesting duo with the experience of Luka Modrić, who is expected to stay for another season. But this brings overcrowding in the midfield, opening up exit scenarios for names like Jashari, as well as question marks for Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Another important name for the midfield is Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka. Milan seem to have an advantage over European competition, with a concrete offer of a three-year contract plus an option for a fourth. The biggest changes are expected in the offensive department. Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Giménez are set to leave, while there will be no final purchase for Niclas Füllkrug.

Rafael Leão's future remains unclear: the club is willing to sell him, but is waiting for the right offer. Christian Pulisic is certain to stay. A big international name is needed in attack. The option Robert Lewandowski has cooled down, while Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus has emerged strongly on the scene. With the mediation of agent Giovanni Branchini, the Brazilian has become the main target for the front line.
