AC Milan will restart/reset/rebuild this summer once again, and there are already suggestions that the club will be left with only two Scudetto winners at the start of next season.
Experience is a vital part of football, especially when it comes to winning titles, and Milan could be about to lessen their squad by more than half of their current Scudetto winners, which certainly comes as a shock.
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, at present, six of the 27-man squad were part of the 2022 Scudetto success; those being Alessandro Florenzi, Matteo Gabbia, Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao, Mike Maignan and Fikayo Tomori.
However, some players seem to be at the end of their cycle with the Rossoneri, so the club may try to ‘erase the past’.
Florenzi is the most obvious case of this, however, there is a chance that he could remain at the club with a lesser wage and upped importance in the dressing room – a motivator, per chance. However, Hernandez, Maignan and Tomori are all insecure about their futures.
The trio were at the core of the Scudetto success, but now all seem to be on the edge of a fall away from the Diavolo. Maignan, perhaps, has the best chance at continuity, but his position is nowhere near as safe as that of Leao and Gabbia, who seemingly will only be in Rossoneri next season.
New protagonists are needed in the club’s eyes, but there must be some continuity between the two groups.
