CM: €35m ‘vanishes’ as Tare’s summer plan fails to take off – the reasoning

This summer, AC Milan had planned to sell a few of their out-of-favour players. However, it has proven difficult so far. 

Selling players is completely different to the idea of it, in most cases. Milan had probably imagined that Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders would leave; however, they were hoping that players like Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer would join them.

Of course, there is a large difference between the two, and with that, there can be big adjustments required to budgets. If you had plans to sell to reach a certain value, it can quickly change those plans.

Almost €100m to make

As Calciomercato.com writes, the Rossoneri, currently, are left feeling like they have lost money this summer, with the sales of Adli, Bennacer and others not going through. In fact, so far, €35 million has been lost.

The Algerian midfielder had an exit lined up for a €20m departure, but he ‘resoundingly’ rejected that idea. Then, there was the €15m offer for Adli, which was also refused, due to the will of the player.

Perhaps, failed moves for people like Yunus Musah and Samuel Chukwuze can also be added to this mix, and very quickly, you get almost €100m worth of sales.

For this reason, the report states that Igli Tare’s summer has not yet taken off. On the inbound front, there have been successes, but the outgoing front has done little so far. Some clarity and movement are needed, indeed.
