Adriano Galliani says Milan’s busy transfer window was down to the high number of injuries which have befallen the squad.
The Rossoneri today presented Salvatore Bocchetti, Mattia Destro, Gabriel Palletta, Suso and Luca Antonelli to fans and media, and the joint-CEO says transfer business was a necessity.
