The season has started at AC Milan
The season started at AC Milan with great hopes of competing for everything once again. The arrival of new Chinese investors to the rossonero squad and the important signings that were made (Leonardo Bonucci, Hakan Calhanoglu, Franck Kessié, Andrea Conti, Mateo Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez, Lucas Biglia, Franco Borini, Nikola Kalinic) predicted the best for the Lombards. However, the results have not been as expected and the recent defeat in the derby against Inter (3-2) has brought the team back to reality with a difference of 12 points behind the leader Napoli.
Difficulties for AC Milan
This situation makes it seem impossible to think about winning the championship, and the chances for the Champions League are also fading away. Undoubtedly, this is a huge blow to the millionaire investments made last summer. In order to avoid any financial problems, Milan could sacrifice one of their most valuable players. Among the notable names mentioned by the Corriere dello Sport is André Silva (21 years old). Although the club's management is not unhappy with his performance, selling the Portuguese player would provide liquidity and avoid the payment of his transfer fee.
Interest from FC Barcelona and Arsenal
The Italian newspaper also mentions the interest of two clubs in André Silva. Specifically, FC Barcelona and Arsenal. While the Catalan team may be looking for an alternative for their attack due to Ousmane Dembélé's injury and the mediocre performances of Paco Alcácer and Gerard Deulofeu, the London club is exploring different options due to the likely departures of both Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil.
