MN: Milan had the ‘most explosive’ January mercato in RedBird ‘history’ – the details | OneFootball

AC Milan made some huge deals in the January mercato, and a report has claimed that it is the ‘most explosive’ January in the club’s history.

Kyle Walker, Santiago Gimenez, Joao Felix, Warren Bondo, Riccardo Sottil – five signings all joining in January, all of which arguably improve the squad as it has been left. Walker’s arrival facilitated the exit of Davide Calabria, Gimenez’s for Morata, Sottil for Okafor and Bennacer’s forced exit made a move for Bondo necessary.

Milan News have compared the additions to some made in the history of the Rossoneri, even stating that it is the ‘most explosive’ mid-season window in the recent history of the club.

The reasoning for such a statement is the quality and number of players that arrived. Not only have the club reinforced their depth, but the Diavolo have added quality to their first XI, which has been a necessity all season, so acting upon this is a huge tick.

With fans demanding answers, the management were active in their pursuit of deals. In fact, it is the biggest January mercato that Milan have taken part in since the 2018/19 season when Lucas Paqueta and Krzysztof Piatek arrived with a net spending of -€72.8 million.

Since RedBird’s arrival, the owners have a net balance of just more than -€3m in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 January windows. In this window, Milan exceeded that balance by a net figure of -€33m for a total net spend of -€36m.

Fans asked for the club’s money to be put where their mouth and aspirations are, and they did that.
