A 2-1 home loss to Cagliari left AC Milan outside the Champions League places, prompting Gazzetta dello Sport to claim a major squad overhaul is imminent. Manager Massimiliano Allegri’s future looks uncertain, and the club must generate roughly €100 million to balance its books. Starters such as Christian Pulisic, Luka Modrić, Adrien Rabiot and Rafael Leão are now listed as potential exits this summer.

Manchester United have identified Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni as a “dream” signing, according to Fabrizio Romano. United’s hierarchy believes he could replicate Casemiro’s influence in Europe, but any agreement would likely exceed €100 million. Meanwhile, United rebuffed a £40 million Chelsea offer for 21‑year‑old Kobie Mainoo, who flourished under Michael Carrick after a difficult spell with Ruben Amorim.

Chelsea insist on retaining striker João Pedro despite Barcelona interest, positioning the Brazil international as a potential Lewandowski replacement. Tottenham appear set to lose left‑back Andy Robertson on a free transfer after nine years, while centre‑back Cristian Romero remains on the market after a troubled campaign. The transfer ripple effects will force several clubs to reshape squads ahead of the 2026‑27 season for now.
