Milan’s Midfield Revolution Signals a New Era Under Allegri and Tare
Fresh Faces, Familiar Intentions
Milan’s transfer activity is gathering momentum, and it is not just about who arrives at San Siro this summer. With the Ricci deal edging closer, Jashari in the crosshairs and discussions underway for Xhaka, there is clear intent from Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare to lay solid foundations after a season of tactical inconsistency. As reported by TuttoMercato, a “half revolution is underway to restart,” marking the beginning of a new era.
Outgoings Reflect Shift in Strategy
But every incoming wave requires an outgoing tide. Milan are clearly trimming the squad to reshape their identity. “Among the players leaving, in addition to Theo Hernandez who is virtually an Al Hilal player, there are three names leaving in midfield,” writes Tuttosport. Theo’s departure would be symbolic, and so too would the exits of Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer, all of whom once carried high expectations.
Premier League Beckons for Musah
For Yunus Musah, “the Rossoneri are waiting for the Premier League,” with West Ham showing long-standing interest. Talks previously broke down due to Napoli’s stance on Anguissa, but Milan’s patience may finally be rewarded.

Adli and Bennacer’s Future in Limbo
Adli and Bennacer, according to Tuttosport, are on the margins of Allegri’s plans. “The ball is mostly in the court of their respective agents who will have to find a solution for their clients.” Both players are at a crossroads, with technical profiles that once promised more than they ultimately delivered.
Milan fans will recognise this is not merely a rebuild but a redefining of identity. With Allegri back at the helm and Tare pulling the strings, the next chapter begins with bold choices and brave exits.
Our View – EPL Analysis
As a European football observer, this report feels like a red flag wrapped in a well-worded press release. Milan are hitting the reset button with Allegri and Tare, but selling so many key players in one sweep risks further instability. Theo Hernandez, effectively an Al Hilal player now, represents not just a loss of quality but also a symbol of star power walking out the door.
Musah’s possible move to West Ham? That might excite Premier League fans, but for Milan it screams of talent slipping through fingers just as it could blossom. Adli and Bennacer were once supposed to be the future of Milan’s midfield engine. Now their agents are “finding solutions” while Allegri appears set to discard them.
There’s a worry here for fans that the “half revolution” described could become a full collapse if results do not follow early. Milan may be laying new foundations, but these decisions need to be nailed down with performances or the structure could crumble just as quickly.
Fans will back the badge, but Allegri and Tare must prove this overhaul is a vision, not a gamble.
