The ‘Rossoneri’ number one is clear about the transfer market: “Smart spending is needed to achieve victory.”
“As we enter the winter break, we are still in the running for the top spot in Serie A. Although we didn’t progress in the Champions League, our current focus is advancing in the Europa League,” reads the extensive message from Cardinale.
“Like all of you, I’m not satisfied with our current position in Serie A or the Champions League. However, sports competitions are a marathon, not a sprint. Since taking ownership of Milan, we’ve sought to strike the right balance between immediate success and building the foundations for the future.”
“All of us want the same thing: to win, to be number one, be champions of Italy and champions of Europe. There is no ambiguity in this, and settling for anything less is not an option. European football today is highly competitive, with more money – individuals, institutions, even Countries – chasing trophies. But championships are not won with money alone.”
“To succeed, we should focus on smarter, more creative, and more disciplined spending compared to our competitors. Our goal is not to win occasionally but to win consistently and for a long time. Forza Milan always.”
