"it's now clear that this Milan can aim higher. Unlike Inter and Napoli - who are still in contention both in Europe and in the Coppa Italia - Mike Maignan and his team-mates have only 21 league games to play until May (including the rescheduled match against Como) and will be able to focus their energies solely on Serie A."
"Compared to last season, CEO Giorgio Furlani and sporting director Tare have overhauled the squad, appointing a winning coach in Allegri and bringing in 11 new faces. This includes key players such as Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Alexis Saelemaekers, who were instrumental in the leap taken. Milan's 'policy' was similar to Napoli's 12 months earlier when Conte asked for the likes of McTominay, Lukaku, Neres and Buongiorno."
Milan occupy second place and possess structural advantages to contest the Serie A title despite public emphasis on Champions League qualification. The squad will play only 21 league matches until May, allowing full focus on domestic competition without European or Coppa Italia distractions. CEO Giorgio Furlani and sporting director Tare rebuilt the roster with 11 new signings and appointed Massimiliano Allegri as coach. Several players have returned to form, including Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. After 17 games Milan have 11 more points than last season, mirroring Napoli’s improvement a year earlier.
