Revolution Milan. Not even the time to conclude the championship that the Rossoneri have already turned everything upside down, in the offices and on the bench. The resignations of Gattuso and Leonardo, albeit in the air, have come to shake an environment still in shock due to the lack of qualification in the Champions League, yet already ready to move on.
One could say that it is being born Gazidis' AC Milan, if only Leo and Rino have decided to leave on their own initiative: both, moreover, leaving very heavy contracts on the table. The coach even gave up a good 5,5 million, a figure that guaranteed him the agreement until 2021 signed in Mirabelli's time: a rarity these days but all in all in perfect harmony with his character. “My history with Milan will never be a matter of money – Gattuso glossed over. – Mine is a painful but thoughtful choice, they have been 18 very hard but unforgettable months ".
While waiting for the divorce to become enforceable (the severance package for his staff remains to be resolved), it is already time to think about the Milan of the future, inevitably revolutionized compared to the current one. Leonardo's farewell resets all the names associated with the Rossoneri bench so far: the various Di Francesco, Inzaghi, Giampaolo and De Zerbi, in fact, were in the Brazilian's notebook, certainly not Gazidis'. Who now, first of all, will have to hire a new sporting director and the rumors, in this sense, lead to France, in this case to Lille.
Luis Campos, already nicknamed "the king of capital gains", is very popular and the reason is quite simple to imagine: his profile as a talent scout, taken at a bargain price and resold at astronomical figures (Mbappé docet), is exactly what Gazidis is looking for . However, the Portuguese already has an operational role in Lille, which is why he could also only cover the role of consultant, obviously well listened to, with Maldini right arm on site. If so, he would be the one to choose the coach: a profile yet to be defined, open to any type of scenario, even the most sensational (Mourinho, for example, is a great friend of his). However, it is probable that, before Milan, others will make excellent announcements.
Inter will formalize the arrival of Conte within a few hours, especially since the three-year contract (9 million plus bonuses) has already been signed. Antonio, who has been in Milan since yesterday, will then stop in Madrid to watch the Champions League final in the company of Steven Zhang, Marotta, Gardini and Ausilio, for what will be his first official outing for the Nerazzurri. But in Corso Vittorio Emanuele they have already been working for some time: they are in the viewfinder Stretcher, Dzeko and Lukaku, with Icardi on the starting foot (pay attention to Juve, with which the famous exchange with Dybala could be made).
Instead, the runway is likely to be abandoned Zapata, increasingly in Rome's sights: Pallotta and Baldini would have liked to give it to Gasperini, the main target for the bench, but the Nerazzurri coach he is getting closer to his renewal with Atalanta: yesterday's meeting with Percassi has brought the parties closer together and the new contract (three-year contract worth 2 million per season) is really one step away. The Giallorossi could thus turn up Giampaolo, whose relationship with Sampdoria is now running out.
Stalemate instead on the front Juve, where only the Europa League (tonight) and Champions (Saturday) finals are awaited to find out more. The words of Sarri (“I have a contract with Chelsea”) e Klopp (“Me at Juve? Stupid”), combined with those expressed a few days ago by Pochettino (“I'm fine at Tottenham”) make the mystery even more dense, even if it is clear that someone is not telling it right: provided that the Lady, as often happened in the past, does not end up surprising everyone by drawing out of the deck.
