GdS: Renewals, Europe and the NBA - Milan set New Year's resolutions for 2026
"The first four regard the team, and it starts with the goal to return to European football and, more specifically, the Champions League. Of course, Massimiliano Allegri has driven this idea home already, but it is still a target, and it is not being minimised. Then, again somewhat obviously, is the determination to define the stadium project more, which will be done in conjunction with Inter."
"Following those, the mercato is the next two goals. In this year, the Diavolo want to find a 'generational No.9'. This summer will probably be the time to bring a starting striker to San Siro, with Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku failing to impress. Additionally, it will be a year to finalise some key renewals, which has been a focus for some time now."
"Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, a decision will be made regarding the NBA Europe league. Whilst the idea will not begin until 2027, the deadline for sign-ups is soon and with Gerry Cardinale's interest, who knows. It will require investment, but the rewards could be worthwhile. One to consider, certainly."
AC Milan have set five minimum targets for 2026 focused on competitive, infrastructure and business progression. The club prioritizes a return to European football, specifically qualification for the Champions League. Milan aims to further define a joint stadium project with Inter, working on a design this year and targeting readiness by early 2027. The club plans to pursue a 'generational No.9' in the upcoming mercato and expects the summer window to be the moment to recruit a starting striker. Key contract renewals are scheduled to be finalized in 2026. A decision will be taken on joining the NBA Europe league, weighing investment against potential rewards.
