Italian media: Milan tried to introduce Mitrovic before closing the window, but failed due to excessive salary requirements

September 6 According to Italian media "milannews24", Milan had negotiated with Mitrovic before the summer window was closed, but failed to reach the latter's salary requirements.

The media pointed out that Milan's transfer window in the summer of 2025 ended with an unfinished buzzer-beating drama. At the last moment of the summer window, the Ross and Blacks made substantial contact with Serbian striker Mitrovic, the shooter who could have ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, ended up failing to make a move due to excessive salary requirements.

Igli Tare served as sports director and Masimiliano Allegri as the coach marks an important change in Milan's transfer strategy. The two professionals are known for their keen eyes and always adhere to the principle of financial sustainability. Introducing heavyweight centers is an important goal to improve the lineup. After evaluating multiple options, Mitrovic, who combines strong physical fitness, excellent air control ability and keen sense of goals, has become an ideal candidate. His past performance in clubs and national teams makes it the preferred target for any team seeking forward strengthening.

Although negotiations with the player team have begun, Mitrovic's economic demands pose an insurmountable obstacle. Although Milan intends to introduce the top scorer, its salary requirements exceed the club's ceiling. Tare’s new management adheres to a meticulous and prudent resource management philosophy, aiming to build a strong competitive lineup without jeopardizing the club’s financial balance. , This strategy that may disappoint fans in the short term actually focuses on long-term sustainable development. Refusing to cater to Mitrovic's economic demands demonstrates the management's determination and economic responsibility principles. Missing Mitrovic has a deeper meaning. This shows that although Milan is determined to compete at the highest level, it is unwilling to overdraw wildly for individual players.

The club's policy clearly states: In addition to technical compliance, investment targets must comply with long-term planning and meet established financial standards. This is highly consistent with Allegri's philosophy of building a solid whole rather than relying on high-paying stars. Give up Mitrovic sends a strong signal: New Milan is eager for victory, but will achieve its goals in a smart and pragmatic way.
