I had to bring in a LB, CM, AMC and 2xRWs but as I said before the lure of joining AC Milan isnt as strong as what it was. I have never found it so hard to sign players. 33y/o Lucas Biglia was sold to Al-Hilal for £2.6m while Antonio Donnarumma joined Olympiakos for £300,000. So obviously I had to trim the LWs so Samu Castillejo joined Leipzig for £13.25m and Diego Laxalt went to Atalanta for £8.25m. I couldnt believe when I arrived that the squad had 5 natural LWs an no natural RWs and only 1 natural AMC. There wasnt too much to be done with the backroom staff although I did have nearly 30 scouts when I was only allowed 12! I got rid of half a dozen or so but the rest are all pretty decent in truth.
I did manage to spend about £50m and recouped about half that and I managed to bring in 7 players permanently although 2 of those are prospects for the youth squads. My squad needed a serious overhaul as it was so unbalanced but the prestige of signing for AC Milan has meant that some players were just not interested in signing plus with the finances I couldnt afford wages etc so even players like Tiago Almada and Layvin Kurzawa couldnt come. Well all I can say is - this is going to be much, much tougher than I thought.
So to take Milan back to the top I introduce to you Andrea Pirlo - the new AC Milan manager. In Donnarumma, Paqueta and Romagnoli they have 3 franchise players that I can build my side around and of course there is a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the squad. Basically the club is on a slippery slope and need to stop the demise - they have only won the title twice this century!!!! However in recent times they have significantly dropped and are just a top half Italian side who aren't even in Europe as they collected a ban for failing financial fair play rules.
18 Serie A titles and 5 Coppa Italias have also been collected amongst others. They have won the Champions League 7 times (also won the Cup-Winners Cup twice), 2nd only to Real Madrid. My Benfica save was going great but got shut down far too soon which was a shame so to bounce back I have decided to restore one of European footballs former powerhouses to the top of European football.ĪC Milan have a great history. I THINK THEREFORE I PLAY - ANDREA PIRLO REBUILDS AC MILAN
