AC Milan will enter the upcoming summer transfer market with a clear vision based on the principle of "selling to buy," even though the team is already struggling with a shortage of players in its squad.

According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the management believes that the current season has revealed many weaknesses, necessitating a comprehensive restructuring, especially with the return of several loaned players who are not expected to remain part of the technical project.

The primary goal of the club is not only to reduce the number of players but also to achieve significant financial returns that help fund new deals.

The Rossoneri are relying on the funds from qualifying for the Champions League, along with the income from selling some players, while ensuring they avoid financial losses (selling for less than the purchase value), which adds to the complexity of the task.

Among the names likely to leave, Ecuadorian Pervis Estupiñán and Englishman Ruben Loftus-Cheek stand out, as they have not managed to secure a regular spot in the team. There are also doubts surrounding the future of some major stars, notably Portuguese Rafael Leão, whose sale could generate significant income, along with Frenchman Christopher Nkunku, who is also attracting interest from several clubs.

In the end, it seems that Milan's summer will be filled with tough decisions, as the management needs to balance the need to strengthen the team and maintain technical stability.

The success of this strategy will depend on the ability to market unwanted players, while simultaneously utilizing the proceeds to make deals capable of bringing the team back into strong competition.
