Longoni questions Milan’s lack of signings: “The same old phrases”

Andrea Longoni has questioned the actions of the new AC Milan management, with only three signings made so far this summer. More was expected at this point and time is moving fast.

Samuele Ricci, Luka Modric and Pietro Terracciano are the only arrivals so far, which anyone can tell isn’t enough. The 2024-25 season was a huge disappointment and some important players have left, yet to be replaced.

For example, Milan still need a left-back to make up for Theo Hernandez’s departure, while work is still ongoing to secure Ardon Jashari for the midfield. In short, something needs to change soon, otherwise Max Allegri won’t have much time to work with the signings.

Déjà vu for Milan fans

In his latest editorial for MilanNews, Andrea Longoni highlighted the need for reinforcements as Allegri can do it all on his own. Furthermore, he compared the summer so far with previous transfer windows, with a lot of the same emerging.

“Milan’s summer continues to be marked by the same old phrases, which fans have now learned by heart: ‘Tare’s inquiry, ‘Offer rejected’, ‘The player only wants Milan’, ‘The relaunch is ready’… The facts are different.

“To date, Ricci has arrived (a deal initiated at the beginning of the year), Modric (great curiosity about what he will bring), and the second goalkeeper Terracciano. A change of direction is needed and no more precious time can be wasted.
