AC Milan put 6 players on the market
DIEGO LAXALT & IVAN STRINIC
Let’s start from the defence. The back-line, usually composed by Romagnoli, Musacchio, Calabria and Ricardo Rodriguez has performed well this season. But the same can not be said for their replacements, especially from Diego Laxalt.
After investing €14 million to acquire his services from Genoa, the Uruguayan has failed to contribute at San Siro. Coach Gennaro Gattuso has used Laxalt in a variety of positions but he hasn’t performed well either as left back, midfielder or winger.
The only good news is that a couple of Serie A teams are interested in Laxalt. His former coach Gasperini would like to have him back and AC Milan are already in negotiations with Atalanta regarding a player swap.
Another defender whose departure is guaranteed is Ivan Strinic. The 31 year old left back has yet to feature for Milan this season.
The Croatian defender enjoyed a stellar campaign with his national team in the World Cup but heart problems have prevented him to contribute for Milan. He will likely leave on a free transfer without ever making an official appearances with the Rossoneri but Milan will save 2 million per season from his departure.
