According to The Milan Sport newspaper, Romagnoli's contract is about to expire and the AC Milan captain will switch to lazio, the same league team, for free in the summer. Meanwhile, AC Milan are trying to bring in offensive players such as Origi and Mertens, both of whose contracts expire in June.
The 27-year-old Romagnoli, who came from the Roma youth system, moved to AC Milan in the summer of 2015 for 25 million and has played for so far. Since the beginning of the 2018/19 season, Romagnoli has been the captain of Milan so far, but his performance on the field is average, which has received a lot of criticism and questions. As Milan's captain, Romagnoli can't play the main player, and he has made a total of 25 appearances so far this season, between the main player and the substitute.
Milan are willing to keep Romagnoli, but hope he can accept a salary cut, a reduction in his current annual salary of about 5 million, and the two sides have not been able to negotiate. Now that Romagnoli's contract is about to expire, it looks like it's time to say goodbye to Milan. Romegnoli has agreed with Lazio that he will switch to opponents in this league in the summer. It is reported that Lazio has offered Romagnoli an annual salary of 3.2 million yuan and signed a 5-year contract, which makes the latter satisfied, and there will be basically no variables.
After Romagnoli leaves the team, Kyal may take over the former's captain's armband, and the Danish star is highly anticipated. Milan may also promote the 21-year-old Tonali as captain, based on a long-term consideration.
At the same time, Milan are planning the summer window of reinforcements, and the focus of the adjustment is on the team's offensive line. Ibrahimovic and Giroud are very old, and Milan's reliable striker is only Leo, who needs to be replenished.
According to reports, Milan are competing with their sworn enemy Inter for "koi" Origi. The 26-year-old Origi has been with Liverpool for almost eight years, serving as a long-term substitute and scoring impressive goals. Origi's contract is about to expire and he has decided to leave Liverpool in search of his next home. Milan took the lead in getting in touch with Origi, the two sides have talked almost a bit, but Inter are now in the fight, their offer is higher and things can be variable.
In addition, Napoli star Mertens is also the target of AC Milan. Mertens has been at Napoli for nine years, during which time he has scored more than 10 goals in each season, scoring 34 goals in the most prolific 2016/17 season. This season, Mertens has scored nine goals in 29 appearances and is in good shape. Mertens' contract is about to expire and AC Milan can sign him for free, and familiarity with Serie A is an advantage for him. Mertens wants to stay in Serie A, Milan are a good choice and there are no obstacles to the transfer.
