WHAT NEXT FOR AC MILAN?
Milan will aim to integrate Modric as soon as possible as they prepare for a season with deep squad changes, including the exits of Hernandez to Al Hilal and Reijndeers to Manchester City, and the unsuccessful attempts, so far, to bring Archie Brown and Jashari on to the team. The first immediate goal in Allegri’s team will be to qualify for European football as soon as possible.
