AC Milan criticized for focusing on senior players in transfer market

AC Milan’s transfer policy under new coach Massimiliano Allegri and technical director Igli Tare draws criticism — the club prefers targeting senior players over retaining young talent.

I Rossoneri has confirmed Tijjani Reijnders‘ departure to Manchester City, while 22-year-old Yunus Musah is reportedly joining Napoli. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, aged 29, is also available for transfer if suitable offers arrive.

Amid the exodus of young players, Milan is pursuing Luka Modric — the Real Madrid midfielder who turns 40 this September. The plan to sign Modric will reportedly be finalized after the 2025 Club World Cup.

Milan’s attempt to balance the squad by signing a young midfielder recently failed — their offer was rejected by the player’s club.
