Milan director Paolo Maldini has outlined three new players to make the Rossoneri competitive in the Champions League again, according to reports in Italy.
The Serie A champions are second only to Real Madrid in terms of European Cups/Champions League titles won but have not reached the knockout stages since 2014
And Gazzetta dello Sport report Maldini is hoping to use their recent title win as a springboard to further success by targeting midfielders Nicolo Zaniolo and Renato Sanches as well defender Bremer.
Zaniolo is one Italy’s most talented players and, despite suffering back-to-back serious knee injuries has enjoyed an impressive season and recently scored the winner in Roma‘s Europa Conference League victory over Feyenoord.
Torino‘s Bremer was voted Serie A’s best defender in 2021-22 and his certain to leave with Inter and Paris Saint-Germain also targets.
Sanches, meanwhile, burst onto the scene when he won the Golden Boy award in 2016 as Europe’s best young player, earning him a move to Bayern Munich but struggled to adapt and, following a loan spell in the Premier League with Swansea City, joined Ligue 1 side Lille on a permanent deal where he has recaptured some of his best form.
Bremer, Sanches, Zaniolo: ecco la lista di Maldini per un Milan da Champions https://t.co/pYof1HqEZj

Bremer to Inter is a done dealio already. Inter could have the best defense , but its always 1 step ahead, 2 steps back if Bastoni is sold.
If only …
What a dream list! The only downside : Zaniolo and Sanches are both very injury prone. Zaniolo’s two ACL tears on both feet is particularly worrying. He used to be sensational before those two injuries. He’s still awesome but I feel like he’s lost something since then which is only normal. You always feel like another tear is just around the corner for him.
If there’d be limited funds, there’s more pressing concerns than Bremer. Instead of Sanches, I’d go for an AM in de Ketelaere. Zaniolo is too costly. What’s your take?
Zaniolo 😂😂😂
Did “reports in Italy” forget about our need for a forward?
These articles are pointless until RedBird takes over and we understand the budget. And what happens to Maldini & Co after his public outcry?
maldini mentioned “three signings” and gazzetta.it puts out clickbait with three names. Other outlets have mentioned different three players. Nobody knows really.
@inter, you’re really having sleepless night. Done dealio with inter, but a done deal with Milan deal with it.
Go big or go home, Milan DNA needs to be back at CL tops!
Zaniolo, Sanches, Bremer, Berardi or Antony, Belotti (free) and Nunez. Forget Origi and Botman.

Noa Lang is a player Maldini must buy. He would be excellent in this Milan team.
zaniolo is a juve fan.
