Milan have begun the countdown to the new season kicking off, however the focus still remains on the last days of the transfer market. Leonardo was asked about the club's moves still to come as he met the press for Strinic's press conference. "Bakayoko? We are definitely discussing it, we are seeing if it's a possibility. We are looking at the cost and positions: we will see what happens, there are seven days left in the market, I am not hiding that it is one of the possibilities. Suso? Today with Lucci we didn't discuss offers, these meetings are a formality. We will speak with pretty much all the players to gauge their feelings, which is normal when a new owner arrives. We have never once considered that he'd leave, and we have not changed our opinion on that ever. He is extremely important for us, the meeting's purpose was to get to know the new owner. We have no reason to believe that he won't be staying here."
"Silva? We are looking to understand everyone's intentions, while looking at the realities of things: there is a chance he leaves, we still need to look at how and where. Adding a winger? We can't deny that there are players who wanted to depart. The deals are meant to satisfy all the parties, we are looking to marry the needs of the squad with the right situations. We have a squad of 32 players and we have to count each one of them, this is already a competitive squad."
Finally, a closing thought on Milinkovic-Savic: "It is difficult, unfortunately as of right now we are not in play for him. Half of Europe are dreaming of him, he is a modern player, good with his head and with tackling. Unfortunately right now it is not something that is possible."
