Milan have already invested over €100 million in two summer signings, but reports on Wednesday suggest the Rossoneri are far from finished and are already plotting their next market moves. Multiple outlets on Tuesday confirmed that Milan have a full agreement in place to sign Lazio centre-back Mario Gila for a package valued at €30 million, including bonuses. This development follows the club’s record signing of Portugal international Goncalo Ramos, a deal believed to exceed €80 million once bonuses and add-ons are factored in, which has propelled Milan’s summer spend to roughly €110 million. Ramos’s arrival has been officially confirmed, with the forward having signed a five-year contract through the 2030-31 season. It is anticipated that Gila will follow suit, with wages projected to be around €5 million per year.
Ahead of the current window, Milan are expected to part ways with several senior players, including Rafael Leao, but Wednesday’s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate the club are already contemplating additional attacking midfield options to strengthen the squad. The Milanese club are said to be eyeing Genk’s teenage talent Konstantinos Karetsas as a prime target, though bringing him to San Siro would require a significant investment given Genk’s valuation of around €40 million and interest from Borussia Dortmund. Other names mentioned by La Gazzetta dello Sport as potential alternatives include Kerim Alajbegovic and Can Uzun.
In addition to reinforcing the midfield, Milan are reportedly exploring options to bolster the squad on the left side, with plans for another left-sided full-back as a possible addition. There is also talk of bringing in another centre-back, underscoring Milan’s broader strategy to strengthen multiple cohorts within the defence and attacking midfield. Karetsas’s potential move would not only require substantial funds but would also hinge on Milan’s willingness to outbid interest from European rivals, particularly given Dortmund’s interest in the same player. As Milan weigh their next steps, the club’s transfer window appears set to be one of the most active in recent memory, driven by a combination of securing high-caliber signings and coordinating departures to balance the wage bill and squad chemistry.
