The risk for Milan is to be tempted by the first place in the League and change a strategy that, that first place, brought them a dowry. Translated: In the January market, ignore the youngsters who cost more, and barely move, and beef up the workforce with some experts, perhaps redundant and therefore probably obtainable at a discount price. Instead, the idea of Maldini and company is to complete the roster with three new guys with high hopes, in line with all the newcomers except Ibrahimovic (39 years), Kjaer (31) and Tatarusanu (34), to be placed in the backbone of the formation, where there is more scarcity. And therefore in the center of defense, midfield and attack.
Outside the names, one for each department: Simakan, twenty years from Strasbourg, is chosen for the rear; Soumaré, a 21-year-old talent from Lille, ideal for medium-sized players; Jovic, 23 years old who never flourished at Real Madrid, the favorite of the offensive front. But since there is money between saying and doing, from 20 to 35 million for the three, and Milan would like to pay a maximum of 15 for one and get a loan for the other two, Maldini’s notebook underlines the Three alternatives: Rudiger ( 26), sidelined by Chelsea for defense, Anguissa (25) from Fulham for midfield and Scamacca from Sassuolo (21, on loan to Genoa) for attack. All three are feasible, with some reservations: the former Roma is valued at around 15 million, so it is within the club’s availability, the only possible problem is the competition from Juve; the median is valued at 20 million and would start transferred but only with the obligation to exchange instead of the right appreciated by Milan; The Italian center forward, on the other hand, may end the loan to Genoa prematurely with the green light from new coach Ballardini, but he is also tempting Roma and costs 20 million. In any case, be it the first or the second option, Milan are not looking for players older than 26 years despite the fact that the young age of the squad would allow it, if it does not suggest it.
The Rossoneri in fact have the lowest average age of the entire Serie A both in general (25 years on average at Pioli’s disposal, the second Verona counts 25.8) and in the formations chosen by the coach, if it is true that Against El Sassuolo eleven he was 22.4 years old, the lowest average so far, and 8 of the 10 youngest teams in the tournament are from Milan (the other two from Spezia and Genoa). Plus: 16 Rossoneri on the team are under 24 and 22 out of 17 totals are under 30. It is therefore strange that Maldini and Massara’s market targets could further reduce the average age rather than increase it by a season where it might be possible. aim for action, given the current position and the absence of signs of failure, indeed.
Proof of this is his performance without the most expert, His Majesty Ibra: with the Swede, the count is 15 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses for an average of 2.17 points per race, without him there are 7 wins and 3 draws or 2.4 points per game. The rossoneri’s stellar year, 79 points like no other (Inter second to 73), no losses in Serie A after the closure (the last going back to 2-1 suffered by Genoa on March 8), the only undefeated in the top -5 European championships, it seems that the rebirth after a period of darkness and indecision in society. Paradoxically, the American ownership (of Elliott, without doubts or retro thoughts) begins to enjoy a project that was in Silvio Berlusconi’s mind since the dawn of time: to be the first with the youngest team in Europe (confirms the last Cies study), by a third Italian (9 of 27) and with a number of irremovable national team holders (Donnarumma, captain Romagnoli and Calabria against emerging Gabbia, Tonali, Colombo and Daniel Maldini), built by an equally Italian leadership, well calibrated between glorious ex (Maldini, in fact) and new faces (Massara) who communicate with a native squad like Pioli, who never won the Scudetto but could do it with Milan, for the first time, becoming great with the club.
