Milan has established four transfer priorities for the summer, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport: one center forward, one central midfielder, one right winger, and a backup for Theo Hernandez.
The Rossoneri are still fighting for a top-four finish in Serie A and will face Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday at San Siro.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rossoneri directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are already preparing assessments for next season.
The defending Serie A champions seek to improve the club in all areas, beginning with the attack.

Olivier Giroud is expected to sign a new one-year deal, but with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future in doubt, the Rossoneri need to sign a new center forward. Alvaro Morata and Watford’s João Pedro are said to be on their agenda, although other reports claim Jonathan David of Lille is also in Milan’s sights.
Milan also require a new right winger to provide more unpredictability than Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias, who have both struggled with consistency.
The third goal is to find a reliable back-up for Theo Hernandez, since Fodé Ballo-Touré has struggled to impress this season, making only eight appearances across all competitions.
Milan will also search for a new midfielder to supplement Stefano Pioli’s options in the middle of the field. With Yacine Adli and Aster Vranckx on the verge of leaving, Maldini and Massara may hunt for a new central midfielder for 2023-24.
