Milan's Mock Summer Transfer Wish List

With the Serie A summer transfer window set to open for business this July, Milan should look (more like BETTER look) to add to the squad and at the same time, downsize from the current roster. Milan fans have been discussing possible summer moves prior to the hiring of new manager Clarence Seedorf and the talk continues as we approach the final months of what has been a miserable campaign for the Rossoneri.

At the moment, nobody truly knows what will happen to the club, both financially and management wise. There has been speculation these past few weeks about whether team owner Silvio Berlusconi will sell a stake of the club or perhaps the whole cake. Bloomberg Radio reported that Silvio intends to sell the club but his Milan-based company, Fininvest, has put those rumors to bed. Money is an issue for the club. Free transfers and low-cost value moves won't get this club back atop Europe. Whatever the case may be, Milan needs to find sufficient funds for Galliani and Seedorf to rebuild this once dominant side and the summer mercato is a great place to start.

Several names have been linked to Milan since January. However, many players have been funneled out through the rumor mill. Here is a list of possible Milan targets, some previously linked and others recommended from us:

Paris Saint-German center back, Alex, age 31
Botafogo center back Doria, age 19
Newcastle United full-back Davide Santon, age 23
Redbull Salzburg center back Martin Hinteregger, age 21
Everton (on loan from Barcelona) right-winger Gerard Deulofeu, age 20
Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin, age 21
Ajax attacking midfielder Siem de Jong, age 25
Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul, age 25
Torino FC right-winger Alessio Cerci, age 26
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, age 27
Udinese goalkeeper Simone Scuffet, age 17
Paris Saint-Germain Ezequiel Lavezzi, age 28
Real Madrid full-back Fabio Coentrao, age 26

Again, this is a list of players rumored to have been linked to Milan as well as few players we feel should be looked at if certain players are sold, which is probably where Milan need to start. Hopefully, young talents including, but not limited to,  Stephan El Shaarawy, Mario Balotelli, Mattia De Sciglio and Bryan Cristante stay on board as they can be cornerstone players to build around for the present and future.
