Akanji chose Inter Milan, and the Red Bird ultimately lost to reality

Although Tare is very capable in the transfer market and helped Milan strengthen his lineup, in some aspects, due to his lack of qualification for the Champions League, Milan still suffered a loss. For example, Manchester City central defender Akanji put on the jersey next door after rejecting Milan for 3 days.

Akanji, who is worth 28 million euros, costs Inter Milan to sign him to 2 million yuan, and then the buyout fee is 15 million yuan. The trigger conditions are somewhat harsh, and Inter Milan won the Serie A championship at the same time, and Akanji played more than 50%, which can be said to be a sure profit without losing money.

Milan is not short of Swiss players. Jasari and Atkame introduced this summer are both Swiss players. This could have been a favorable factor for Akanji to choose red and black, but it was because Milan did not have the qualification of the Champions League that a reasonable transfer eventually failed.

(II)

This is a bit ironic. The Champions League was originally Milan's strength, and the seven Champions League championship trophys are witnesses of Milan's status as a giant, but now it has become the reason why players refuse to choose Milan; the reality is that Milan is only the 8th place in Serie A last season.

So compared to the second successful team in the Champions League, Milan is now a team that strives to qualify for the Champions League.

The good news is that odds are optimistic about Milan's top four, ranking behind Naples, Inter Milan and Juventus.
