MN: Milan among most active Serie A clubs – the ranking for sales, signings and net spend

20 hours ago 31

AC Milan have been one of the most active clubs in Serie A so far this summer, but their net spend actually ranks among the lowest.

MilanNews reports that the imminent arrival of Koni De Winter for €18m plus bonuses will push Milan into the top three clubs in Serie A in terms of spending. This figure is in addition to €34m for Ardon Jashari, €23m for Samuele Ricci, and €17m for Pervis Estupinan. For a total of €92m.

Only Juventus with €118m and Como, with €104m have spent more on signings in the current mercato. Napoli have not surpassed them, at least for now: the Partenopei are currently at €89m, but further reinforcements for Antonio Conte are expected which could push them higher.

This figure for Milan is set to increase with the arrival of a right-back, and if the deal to bring Zachary Athekame goes through, it would reach at least €10m. Then there is the centre-forward: if it were indeed Rasmus Hojlund, we’d be talking about a loan deal worth €5-6m.

However, Milan have made a lot on sales too. With €38m to be added for the official sale of Malick Thiaw to Newcastle United, the total is now €148m in fixed fees. More specifically: €55m for Tijjani Reijnders, €25m for Theo Hernandez and €14.3m for Pierre Kalulu.

Then there are the other deals, like €9m for Emerson Royal, €3.5m for Marco Pellegrino, €1m for the loan of Tommaso Pobega, €1m for Marco Sportiello, €1m for the loan of Warren Bondo and Filippo Terracciano. The exact total: €147.8 million earned, the highest in the league.

In terms of net spend, the Rossoneri are therefore in the negative at €55.8m (they have spent less than earnings). Currently, only Bologna in Serie A have a lower net spend (around €61m in the red).
