Milan, the latest on the transfer market: From Badelj to Gomez, passing by Zaza. Bacca is on his way out
TRANSFER MARKET CONDUCTED BY BOTH PARTIES- It will be yet again Adriano Galliani who will conduct the transfer market for Milan as he will listen to Montella's wishes. SES will have the right to veto any move (like they did last summer with Arbeloa). It will be an auto-financing transfer market for Milan so they will first need to sell before they can then buy.
WHO IS LEAVING? - Carlo Bacca is the logical candidate, considering his value and Lapadula's explosion. Milan still value him at around 25 million euros as many clubs are interested in him including PSG, Sevilla and Arsenal. Bacca isn't the only one as Luiz Adriano and Vangioni are two other players who will likely leave the club. Finally, Rodrigo Ely and Keisuke Honda can also be possible departing players as Milan need to sell players and they aren't really in the plans of the club.
WHO WILL ARRIVE? - Montella and Galliani already know who to target: a winger who can alternate with Suso and Niang and a midfielder. For the winger position, Keita is very high on Milan's list but his cost remains to be very high. Papu Gomez is another candidate but again Atalanta are asking for a hefty price. As for the midfield, Milan Badelj is one of the primary names since everyone at Milan love him. Rudy of Hoffenheim would be a cheaper alternative to the Croatian midfielder. Atalanta's Gagliardini is also a candidate but he is more likely to leave in June. Finally, if Bacca and Luiz Adriano leave the club in January, then Montella will likely ask for another striker. Simone Zaza is a potential target as his future at West Ham is in jeopardy.
