MN: Like no other – Milan enjoying summer of sales with time remaining

AC Milan, this summer, have been busy on all fronts, and it could still continue. There are deals left to be done, and the figures could rise. 

It has been a hectic few months since the season ended, and changes have been rife, but they needed to be. Milan ended the season in 8th, without European football and any season-defining silverware.

Of course, the Supercoppa Italiana was nice. However, it does not impact the finances of the following season.

Crazy figures

The squad has been transformed, thanks to some big sales, and as MilanNews reports, the club has ‘never earned as much in recent seasons’. Right now, more than €149 million has been made, which trumps summer.

In fact, before last summer, the last summer to bring more than €70m was in 2018. It is a crazy statistic which shows the level of business that has been conducted too. Of course, this summer has been a bit of an outlier, though.

Two stars have departed, which certainly raises the funds of this. However, if Theo Hernandez had remained – hypothetically speaking – and only one star had left, the total could still be similar at the end of the summer, if Yunus Musah departs.

Of course, the number will rise to a figure of around €180m if Musah leaves as well, but the €30m price tag would cover the loss of Theo. Quite ridiculous, indeed.
