AC Milan’s Summer Exodus: The Stars Who Could Be Leaving San Siro in 2025

It is that time of the year when the climatic situation of football is almost out of the way and the rumors of the transfer market start to circulate with even more momentum than summer knocking at the door of 2025. As for AC Milan supporters, the summer of 2025 might come with a whole new aspect of the much-loved team, which is nothing but good news.

The team looks like wanting to get rid of many their top names and therefore is heading for the most drastic reconstruction of their roster. Let’s go into the potential exits that could be instrumental to the line-up of Milan for the campaign 2025/26.

Tijjani Reijnders: Milan’s Midfield Maestro Heading to Manchester?

The most likely player to leave San Siro in the summer and is completely irreplaceable is definitely Tijjani Reijnders. The midfielder who was in power this season made this year a hell of a sensation, passing from a one-dimensional attack to a player that can help a creator and at the same time be a heartless shooter. Reijnders, the top scorer of Milan in the current season, has received inquiries and the best proposals from the top teams that played that period in Europe.

The Manchester City team seems to be the one that is closest to signing Reijnders, as the word is out there that an agreement on the terms has been made a long time ago and the boy has already started practicing with the Premier League giants. On the other hand, Reijnders apparently wants to go to Etihad Stadium and he will only agree to the move if this is where he thinks his career would have the most success.

Most importantly, the process of the transfer is not only about City and Milan. The Lombard club knows very well the strong position of the player and for this reason has put the price of the transfer as high as €90m (£76m). In any case, the discussions continue between the two sides of Milan and that may also change the tendency for any potential deal, so at the end it could actually affect the market in a way that Milan would have some profit or not.

The inventiveness of new transfers could be a difficult matter reaching a position to do so if the income of the Champions League team has the potential to arise from the sale of a player and it may itself be far above their expectations though.

It seems that even though other top European football clubs have their eyes on the midfielder, his desire to play for Manchester City looks very strong. This transfer saga will undoubtedly be the most discussed topic affecting Milan during this summer’s transfer window.

Theo Hernández: The End of an Era?

One from the team that has most fittingly represented the current as the sporting figure of AC Milan is the attacking left-back coming from France, Theo Hernández, a man with a touch of the marauder about him. It is impossible to overlook the fact that the left-back has been an indispensable player of the team since his arrival and along with his talent and skills, he has also stayed the best in fans’ hearts while competing with the best left-backs around the world.

Although, the speculations about the decision about the player’s contract being in 2026 and there only have been talks about the extension of this deal very recently, now things seem to have come to a standstill, which makes Milan in a dilemma. It is quite unlikely that the club will allow Hernández to leave for free next summer, thus, it is the club’s great desire to list the player to the market in the coming window to get the best offer possible.

This particular approach is the first step in the temporary resolution of his limited market options that are much lower than his market-level value. As a matter of fact, both Italian and English football clubs are closely following the progress of the situation with teams earmarking themselves to secure the Frenchman in the event of the availability of such an opportunity.

If he is to leave the team, it would be similar to the end of a great period in Milan’s history, especially in the position of left-back. His contribution has been twofold where not only has he shown great attacking threat but has also been the team’s captain and the close ties between him and the fans have made him the most loved player, thus, the management will probably have to find a replacement who fits him.

Fikayo Tomori: Premier League Return Likely?

Even though he had been an indispensable player in Milan’s rear guard since the move from Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori’s playing time has been notably less in the last few months. The English stopper is still a substantial player; however, fewer minutes of playing time have resulted in rumors about a possible departure from the club.

As per the terms of the contract, Milan has time until 2027 to look for a possible buyer for Tomori. However, the soccer team is very willing to talk to the side, which is showing interest at a 30 million euro price. The fact that he is the subject of interest for many clubs is one of the most important reasons for his transfer to Premier League.

It can’t be neglected that Juventus is eyeing Tomori, so the likelihood of the center-back position is Serie A. Tomori’s excellent speed, his serene behavior on and off the field, and his knowledge of English football are the qualities that make him a valuable asset for clubs that want to strengthen their defense added.

Each Team’s Role Players: Other Possible Exits

Besides the star players, there are a few more Milan players that the team is looking at dropping in the upcoming summer transfer window:

Yunus Musah: It is the American midfield talent who only occasionally showed that he could turn into a world-class player but still is not a regular starter. Therefore, Milano can go for a huge amount of money a proposal for a Premier League side.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek: Another Blues’ alumnus, Loftus-Cheek, who has suffered various injuries during his spell at Stamford Bridge, has a conflicting experience with the Rossoneri. However, he is still wanted by some of the clubs that are located in the EU and want to buy him.

Samuel Chukwueze: The Nigerian winger, who is an international player has a good reputation, but he is not able to nail down a starting position. Silly season has ended which saw Milan being eager to sell Chukwueze to other clubs, while they are open to a good purchasing deal from another club.

Emerson Royal: The Brazilian defender, who was brought quite widely known, can still be seen as not quite winning over the Milan fans. If bid offers are good, he will in all likelihood exit in the summer.
