Moretto: Tare unlikely to travel for preseason tour with three key signings to work on

Igli Tare is unlikely to travel with the AC Milan squad to the far east as he will instead stay behind to try complete some signings.

Milan will depart for Singapore today for their Asia-Pacific tour. Massimiliano Allegri and his team will play Arsenal, Liverpool and Perth Glory while out there as preparations dial up for the 2025-26 season.

Tare to stay behind

According to what is being reported by Matteo Moretto (via MilanPress), the Milan touring party will leave without sporting director Igli Tare, who is not likely to travel with the squad to the far east.

The reason is that he will stay behind to work on the mercato. With only Samuele Ricci and Luka Modric in the door so far, there is a need to acceleration on the incoming front to try and complete the squad Allegri has.

Above all, Tare wishes to complete three key signings sooner rather than later: a left-back, a right-back and a new central midfielder. For the first position, it seems things are progressing well over Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan. The asking price is around €20m.

As for Marc Pubill, negotiations will begin in the next few hours with his entourage and with Almeria to reach an agreement following reassurances regarding the Spaniard’s knee condition, after he failed a medical with Atalanta a year ago.
