AC Milan chief Massimiliano Mirabelli is delighted with their impressive summer market campaign.

Milan have brought in 10 players at a cost of over €200m since Mirabelli's appointment as sporting director.

“I'll tell the truth. When Fassone asked me to join him, I said 'yes' to him, rather than the project," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We'd been involved for several months before the new owners took the club from Silvio Berlusconi. It all could've ended badly, but now Fassone and I have decided to become a couple!

“We must be transparent with the fans on social media. We must explain our actions clearly. We'll do everything out in the open, starting with the transfer market, from our home at Casa Milan.

“At first, directors and agents didn't even know our address. The fact is that we don't hide in hotels or restaurants when discussing a player.

“We don't have any secrets. Things can also go wrong, but I've learned that even from a defeat, you can end up winning if you keep your back straight.

“And keeping our back straight is another firm commitment to those who support us.

“We respect the work of everyone, but we don't want to be held to ransom either.

“Agent's commissions are paid in a certain kind of way, when a player moves from one club to another and not when a renewal takes place.

“We prefer to make mistakes after seeing them with our own eyes. We'll see a player several times, before deciding whether they're right for us.

“Only after that will I ask who their agent is. It's not the agent who offers me his client.

“Donnarumma? His renewal is like a signing. We ended up [negotiating] on our terms and he gave up a lot of money."
