I have just made the switch from Schalke to Milan after spending a little over 2 seasons in Germany. I won the Bundesliga 2 in season one, followed up by a great second season in charge, seeing us win the DFB Pokal and qualify for Champions League football. Things were going smooth, and I was happy with the team I had built but once I saw the position Milan was in, I couldn't resist. They sold off a large amount of their first team players; Kjaer, Tomori, Romagnoli, Kessie, Bennacer, Tonali, Kalulu, & Conti. As well as they did not renew any of their loans / Zlatan retired. They did make a couple decent signings in; Pavard, Christensen, Collado, & Cabral. I was able to grab isco & Dimarco from the free agents list right away and my first signing has been Lovato for $9m on a precontract. Seeing how they did business makes me think they were in financial issues yet again (They crashed out of UCL in first season, barely qualified but didn't make it out of the group in season 2 and now they are in the Europa League with a much weaker team), so I plan on being tight with the money I have. I've got around $60m to spend and have a few players I plan to sell to recoup some of the money I do spend. * After * first transfer window (winter 2023), we brought in Aouchiche - LM (converted to CAM) from Betis, Raspadori - ST ($35m + Cabral), Barkok - CAM (converted to RM) from free agents, Gavi - CM from Barca, and Dedic - RB from Bayern.
Current team ratings: Starting XI
Maignan - 87
Calabria - 82
Christensen - 84
Pavard - 82
*Hernandez - 89*
Pobega - 79
Adli - 80
Saelemakers - 81
Aouchiche - 81
Leao - 81
Raspadori - 82

Update: l am a little weak in the midfield department so we will see how this season ends (currently in 4th & onto the knockout round of the Europa League), but I would like to try and bring back Tonali. Lastly, I grabbed Ceballos on a free transfer and plan to use him or isco to lighten to amount owed for Tonali ( currently 84 rated and playing at Villareal). I might try and bring Romagnoli back and if I am able to I will let Pavard go. Giroud is down to 73 rated, I did extend him another year, but I will probably bring in another ST to cover Raspadori.


Still sitting in 4th after 25 games. Only 8 points off the top though. I am planning on adding more Italian players for the backbone of the team. I might sell Pavard who is 27 and 82 rated. I can use the cash to bring Romagnoli back. I also plan on selling Hauge, isco, Lafont, and possibly Giroud. I would like to bring in Buffon's regen, (I've also found Bonucci's regen and might bring him in) Tonali, Bastoni (84 rated and plays at Valenica), Esposito (21 years old and 78 rated @ man city)

Update*
We have started season 4 with some big changes. I brought back Romagnoli from Tottenham (sent Pavard the other way), Tonali from Villareal (swapped with Ceballos) and I swapped Adli with Zakaria. Currently 85 rated and 27 years old, he'll replace Adli (24 and 80) as my starter alongside Tonali. On deadline day I received two offers and almost* pulled off a major swap. The first was for Leao from RB Leipzig. The offer was $72m so I ignored it at first. The second offer I got was a swap for Christensen from Spurs who were offering Bergwijn (26 and 83 rated) + $25m. I was able to get Leipzig to accept my proposed offer of $100m for Leao and was also able to get $40m + Bergwijn for Christensen. However, after deadline day ended neither player accepted terms with their new teams. We'll see how the season moves on and if I keep them or look into offloading them again.
