And following the clubs recent tour of the United States, Tuttosport report that the Nerazzurri’s director of sport Piero Ausillio will now focus on moving fringe players from the bloated first team squad out, whether in loan moves or permanent transfers.
The highest profile name believed to be destined to leave the San Siro is Colombian international Fredy Guarin, with the Nerazzurri requesting a fee of around €15 million from interested clubs for the player, though links with the likes of Manchester United and Monaco have so far been fruitless.
