Premier League Sides Lead Pursuit of Milan Loanees
Recent analysis from MilanNews.it highlights that Milan could be in line for a significant financial windfall, with the club already having secured around €175 million through player sales in the summer. Now, further proceeds are expected as clubs evaluate the possibility of making loan deals permanent.
The Premier League emerges as a likely source of Milan’s next revenue wave. Bournemouth have displayed strong intent to secure Alex Jimenez on a permanent basis, which could net Milan €25 million. Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze’s recent uptick in form with Fulham has prompted the West London club to seriously consider triggering his €28 million purchase option.

Potential Permanent Moves in Serie A and Beyond
Domestically, Genoa appear set to finalise the acquisitions of two Rossoneri talents. Tommaso Pobega’s loan arrangement includes a mandatory buy-out clause that is reportedly close to being activated. Additionally, should Genoa remain in Serie A, Milan would gain a further €10 million through the permanent transfer of Lorenzo Colombo.
Further afield, Filippo Terracciano is anticipated to join Cremonese on a permanent deal worth €4 million.
| Player | Loan Club | Potential Buy Option (€M) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Jimenez | Bournemouth | 25 | Permanent move likely |
| Samuel Chukwueze | Fulham | 28 | Club considering option |
| Tommaso Pobega | Genoa | Mandatory buy-out (amount undisclosed) | Clause close to activation |
| Lorenzo Colombo | Genoa | 10 | Conditional on avoiding relegation |
| Filippo Terracciano | Cremonese | 4 | Expected permanent deal |
Loaned Players Facing Uncertain Futures
Not all of Milan’s loanees are set for permanent moves. Yunus Musah, currently at Atalanta, has struggled to make a significant impact and is expected to return to Milan. Ismael Bennacer, who has been performing well with Dinamo Zagreb, faces uncertainty regarding a longer stay due to his wage expectations, which are reportedly a stumbling block to any permanent agreement.
