AC Milan and Juventus set to compete for two strikers in the summer
AC Milan and Juventus are two teams that have had disappointing season for there standards. Both teams would have come into this season hoping to at least challenge for the Scudetto. However, gaps in both sides have made it impossible for them to keep up with Inter Milan.
A main gap for both sides has been in attack, as both teams have had poor strikers. For, Milan Santi Gimenez and Niclas Fullkrug have both failed to be conventional number nines. Meanwhile for Juventus both, Lois Openda and Jonathan David have been poor signings. This is why both sides could make an attempt to sign Matteo Retegui in the summer transfer window.

This comes from a report from Gazzetta Dello Sport, which state that he has offered himself to both sides. Retegui is looking for a way out of Saudi Arabia, as the league isn’t competitive for him. His poor form for the Azzurri could come down to this which is why he wants to make a move back home.
However, his wages could also be an issue as he earns 16 million euros per season in Saudi. It is hard to see Milan or Juventus paying half of this fee to Retegui. But if he Retegui really does want a move home he will drop his wages to do so. However, high wages could be a issue for Milan and Juventus again if they go after Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski could leave Barcelona as a free agent this summer, as the Catalan club are hesitant to give him a contract extension. According to Nico Schira, Milan and Juventus are both monitoring Lewandoski incase Barcelona don’t give him a new deal. However, neither sides has made any official contacts as of yet.

Roma set to make major changes as Fredkin’s and Gasperini are in talks.
AS Roma have struggled in recent weeks, as their chances for a top four finish are slipping away. Roma currently, sit sixth in Serie A, four points off forth place Como. This has lead the Fredkin’s (Roma’s ownership family) looking to revolutionise the team, while Gian Piero Gasperini according to Leggo news paper (via Romapress)
Roma will be forced to make some big sales in the summer, as they have struggled to meet financial fair play goals. Mile Svilar and Manu Kone have both been linked to make a move to Inter in the summer. Svilar is also being followed by Premier League sides ahead of this summer.
The same goes for Evan Ndicka who also has admirers in the Premier League and Turkey. It is hard to see all three of these players being sold in the summer. But Roma will be forced to sell at least one which Gian Piero Gasperini can understand but he doesn’t feel a full squad revolution is needed.

The Fredkin’s are also putting contract renewals hold as they look to evaluate the entire team according to Matteo Moretto. Mainly this will effect Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini are the key names that are up for contract extensions. Both looked like they would stay in Rome, but could leave the side instead.
Lorenzo Pellegrini and Paulo Dybala are also both set to be up for new deals, that likely won’t happen. However, this has been known for most of this season, as Roma will look for new attacking midfielders in the summer. Gasperini will likely have a say on who comes in as Gasperini wants similar types of players he had in Bergamo.

Inter Milan preparing for a full midfield revolution this summer for Chivu
Inter Milan are set to cruise to the Scudetto for the rest of the season, as Chivu has turned around an emotional scarred team. However, the Nerazzurri haven’t been perfect across the board, being knocked out by Bodo Glimt in the Champions League. Inter will now look to build a stronger team in the summer to go deeper in the Champions League.
According to Corriere Dello Sport, Inter will mainly look to do so by changing their midfield. There will be multiple exits with Davide Frattesi is almost guaranteed to leave this summer. Henrik Mkhitaryan will also likely leave the side, as talks for his renewal for Inter have died down and his contract expires after this season.

Hakan Calhanoglu could also be on the way out of Milan this summer. His contract expires after next season, and there has been no talks of a renewal. This could lead to Inter selling him this summer to stop him from leaving as a free agent next season. Galatasaray have been the main team that have been aiming to sign Hakan, but no talks are underway.
Inter will likely spend big this summer to build a new midfield, in the aims to replace who they will lose in the summer. Aleksandar Stankovic is guaranteed to come back to Milan in the summer, as Inter will trigger his 22 million euro buy out option. He has worked with Chivu before during his time at Inter’s youths teams.

Manu Kone is the biggest name that Inter will try to sign in the summer. Inter have been following Kone for a while, as he is a favorite of Christian Chivu. One benefit for Inter Milan is that Roma will have to make sales during this summer, to meet finical fair play, which makes a deal plausible for Inter.
However, there was no guarantee that Kone will leave Roma as they could make other sales. Maximo Perrone from Como has been linked. Javier Zanetti has been talking to the Argentine to convince him, but there is still no guarantee on his future. Meanwhile, Inter will likely make another move for Curtis Jones like they did in January. Jones could look for a way out of Liverpool as he is still struggling for game time.

AC Milan ready to accept reasonable bids for Rafael Leao this summer
AC Milan suffered another blow in their already slim title chances with their loss against Napoli on the weekend. They are now nine points behind first place Inter, with only seven games to go this season. Milan will see falling short of the Scudetto as a missed opportunity this season, as they only had to play Serie A games.
This was in contrast to Inter Milan and Napoli who had to play Champions League throughout the season. However, Milan couldn’t capitalise on their extra rest, mainly due to their issues in front of goal. Milan have only scored 47 goals this season, 24 less than Inter this season.
Niclas Fullkrug was bought in during January in an attempt to fix the problem, but he has failed to hit the ground running. Milan will now likely go into a full revolution this summer to try and fix their attacking problems, according to Corriere Dello Sera. This could see Rafael Leao amongst the names sold to build a new attack.

AC Milan and Rafael Leao have been in contract renewal talks for a while, however the talks have stalled in recent months. This could be what motivates Milan to decide to sell Rafael Leao instead of his counterpart Christian Pulisic. Milan are now willing to sell Leao in the summer, if a bid in the range of 50 million euros arrives.
Fabrizio Romano is reporting that FC Barcelona could decide to make a move to sign Leao this summer. Barcelona have a 30 million buy out clause for loanee Marcus Rashford this summer. However, they aren’t fully satisfied with Rashford and could decide to sign Leao instead now that he is reasonably priced.
