Di Stefano says Milan 'must improve' with signings 'like Goretzka' next season
"If Milan qualify for the Champions League, they must improve their squad, first and foremost numerically. Next year, they'll need at least 26-27 players, and you need higher-calibre alternatives. This year's reserves have grown over time, like Jashari, Ricci, Bartesaghi, who has become a regular starter, and even De Winter himself. However, I believe that next year, Milan will need international talent like the Modrics, Rabiots, and Maignans. Milan would need a defender, like Akanji, and a midfielder like Goretzka, another player Allegri wanted. A revolution in attack wouldn't surprise me, especially since I see difficulties renewing some contracts, like Pulisic's, for example."

With 54 points after 25 games, AC Milan sit second in Serie A, seven points behind Inter and four ahead of Napoli. Champions League qualification would restore financial strength but also increase demands on squad depth and quality. The squad requires roughly 26–27 players with higher-calibre alternatives beyond the current reserves. Young players such as Jashari, Ricci, Bartesaghi and De Winter have progressed, but international-level reinforcements and upgrades in defence, midfield and attack are needed. Contract renewals and possible departures, including Pulisic and uncertain Leao permanence, could prompt significant attacking changes.
