AC Milan Faces Another Failed Transfer Campaign As Season Nears

If Milan make no more signings between now and the start of the Serie A season, which kicks off on 29 August when Milan host Lecce, it will spell the end of yet another failed transfer campaign by the Milan board.

For a number of years now, it has been abundantly clear that Milan need new faces and some younger blood. Yet, once again Milan have failed to bring in new arrivals whilst also failing to rid some of the older players in the squad that have become nothing more than deadwood.

Though, there is still time for Milan to bring in a player or two. Milan fans will be praying that the club does so. However, with only 20 days before the start of the Serie A season, time is running out for Milan and the fans will be fearing the worst.

Having not brought in any new players of note, Milan’s preseason form has, rather surprisingly, not been an abject failure. Despite coming last in the Emirates Cup last week, there were some positive signs as some of Milan’s younger players showed some promise as their youthful hunger gave Milan a revitalized feel.

However, these young players cannot be expected to lead Milan to glory this upcoming season. For Milan to have any realistic aims of coveting silverware by the end of the season, at least one star signing has to be made.

Ideally, this one player should be a midfielder, creative or defensive or a bit of both, as it is in midfield that Milan seriously lack depth and quality.

If Milan fail to land a key player before the start of the season, then it will speak volumes of the current ambition of Milan today.

For a club like Milan, one of the world’s most successful and most admired football clubs, winning everything should be the aim every season. Yet, it appears that this is not the case any longer.

With the Serie A fixtures having just been released, for Milan fans it is more a feeling of anxiety as to what the season holds than one of excitement and possibility.
