AC Milan Shifts Transfer Focus: Balancing Youth with Veteran Leadership
AC Milan is undergoing a strategic transformation in its transfer policy, moving away from a strict focus on youth development toward a more balanced approach that incorporates experienced players. This shift does not imply that young talent was the root of previous problems, but rather highlights issues in management and corporate structure that hindered consistent success. The club now aims to combine its youthful core with seasoned professionals to create a more stable and competitive squad.
The previous age restrictions placed on signings appear to have been relaxed under the current leadership, although financial discipline remains a priority, as seen in the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City. The goal is to maintain economic sustainability while strengthening the squad with players who bring leadership and high-level experience. This marks a significant departure from the former ownership's rigid recruitment criteria.
Luka Modric’s arrival signals this philosophical shift clearly. As a seasoned midfielder and natural leader, his presence is expected to address the lack of on-field leadership that plagued Milan last season. Discussions are also ongoing regarding Granit Xhaka, who is reportedly unsettled at Bayer Leverkusen. If signed, he would add further depth, physicality, and leadership to the midfield.
Under the guidance of head coach Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare, Milan is embracing a pragmatic transfer strategy. The emphasis is now on building a team that blends youthful energy with veteran composure, aiming to restore Milan's competitive edge both domestically and in European competitions.
