Breaking: AC MILAN’S RESET ALLEGRI ERA: MAIGNAN TENSION, XHAKA RUMOURS & SUMMER CLEAR‑OUT LOOMS
AC Milan’s Summer Shake-Up: Allegri’s New Era Dawns Amidst Maignan Doubts, Xhaka Pursuit, and Looming Clear-Out
Milan, Italy – AC Milan is poised for a transformative summer, as the club embarks on a “reset” under the returning Massimiliano Allegri. The highly anticipated new era is already marked by crucial contract negotiations, ambitious transfer targets, and the prospect of a significant player clear-out.

Meanwhile, AC Milan is actively pursuing a midfield overhaul, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka emerging as a primary target. The Rossoneri have reportedly intensified their efforts to sign the experienced Swiss international, with sporting director Igli Tare reportedly having held talks in Germany. Xhaka is said to have given his “green light” to the move, signaling his willingness to embrace the Milan project. While Milan’s initial offer of around €10 million has reportedly fallen short of Leverkusen’s valuation, negotiations are ongoing. Xhaka’s leadership qualities and deep-lying playmaker abilities are seen as crucial for Allegri’s vision, especially with Tijjani Reijnders having already departed for Manchester City and Yunus Musah potentially moving to Napoli. The club is also actively pursuing Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra and has reportedly sealed a free transfer for Luka Modric, further highlighting their intent to strengthen the midfield.
Beyond these key arrivals, a substantial clear-out is expected at Milan this summer. The club is reportedly ready for a “ruthless overhaul,” with several players potentially heading for the exit door to free up funds and make way for new talent. Names like Theo Hernandez, Fikayo Tomori, and Malick Thiaw have been mentioned as potential departures, though it’s more likely to be one or the other from the defensive pair. The departure of Reijnders is just the beginning, as Milan looks to reshape its squad to fit Allegri’s tactical demands and compete for major honors.
This summer promises to be a pivotal period for AC Milan. With Maignan’s contract situation hanging in the balance, the determined pursuit of Xhaka, and a widespread clear-out on the horizon, the club is set to undergo a significant transformation as Allegri aims to steer the Rossoneri back to the summit of Italian and European football.
