Alarms ringing in Milan, the red-and-black project is on the verge of collapse

Delo reports on the alarming situation facing AC Milan, a club whose aspirations for the Italian league title have dramatically soured, replaced by a desperate fight for Champions League qualification. Just a month ago, Milan was considered Inter's main rival, but a recent loss to Sassuolo has plunged the team into crisis. With only two points separating them from Juventus and three from Roma, their place in Europe's elite club competition is far from secure. This precarious position poses a significant threat not only to the club's finances but also to the entire project of returning to European prominence. The article emphasizes that missing out on the Champions League could trigger a financial collapse and force the club to sell its star players, including Luka Modrić, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulišić, and Mike Maignan. Such a scenario would dismantle the team's spine and relegate Milan to the status of a development club, reliant on selling talent to cover financial shortfalls. The sting of rivals Inter Milan clinching their 21st league title only exacerbates Milan's woes, highlighting the stark contrast in fortunes and adding to the pressure as the season nears its end.
