AC Milan chief Furlani admits another big Tonali could happen

AC Milan chief exec Giorgio Furlani cannot rule out selling big names in 2024.

Furlani admits their summer signings were funded with the sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United.

"I don't know, we'll see," he said when asked about another similar sale.

“In the last year, Milan ran at a profit for the first time in 17 years. Obviously, economic success is tied to sporting success. We must be competitive, yes, but not competitive at all costs. We are competitive and keep an eye on costs too.

“It will all fall apart if the Growth Decree is removed. It would mean the destruction of Italian football. Since the Growth Decree was introduced, our clubs achieved great results in Europe, because we are a talent-based business.

“We are behind the other markets on economic terms, it's impossible to build a new stadium, there are limits on non-EU players, limits on the length of contracts… The only thing that can make us competitive with the other European leagues is the Growth Decree."
