During the season just ended, AC Milan has been criticized for his defense, that after the departure of Thiago Silva is not strong and has created numerous problems.Considering the whole season, it emerges that AC Milan had problems in the first part of the season with his defense, but when Zapata and Mexes have started playing with continuity the situation improved. The question regards the future of Zapata: will the Colombian player remain in AC Milan? If one analyzes his season, Zapata will be confirmed for sure due to his excellent performances in the second part of the season. His improvements have been visible. However, nothing has been decided yet because Villareal wants 8 million euros to let Zapata to AC Milan and Galliani considers this a big investment and is not convinced about it.

The real problem of AC Milan is the midfield. Excluded Montolivo, excellent during all the season, the other midfielders are not a certainty. With the return of De Jong the midfield should rediscover an equilibrate organization, but this is not enough. AC Milan, during the summer transfer market, has to get a midfielder with quality and technique, able to cover different functions. Poli seems the probable alternative, but nothing will be established before the decision about the future of Allegri.

The money to invest in a good midfielder could arrive from the departure of Robinho. The Brazilian player in fact is still the interest of Santos, and he himself is interested in going back to Brazil.
