Conceição's blacklist after Milan's failure in the Champions League

The elimination of AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League Round of 32 against Feyenoord has left scars at San Siro. The unexpected defeat for a team with European aspirations has led coach Sergio Conceição to make drastic decisions for the summer transfer market.

According to sources close to the club, the Portuguese coach has informed the board that it is time to part ways with three important players: Tijjani Reijnders, Fikayo Tomori, and Mike Maignan, in order to free up space and strengthen the squad with new signings.

Conceição's Blacklist

Dutch midfielder Reijnders, despite his quality, does not fit into the playing philosophy that Conceição aims to implement. His departure seems inevitable as he has a good reputation in the market, and his transfer would allow Milan to search for a midfielder more in line with the coach's vision.

On the other hand, Tomori's performance has raised doubts among the coaching staff. The English center-back, who was once a key player in the Rossoneri's defense, has lost prominence, and his level has dropped significantly. With several clubs interested in his services, his departure would provide room to sign a defender to reinforce the backline.

Maignan's case is perhaps the most surprising. The French goalkeeper, who had been a reliable option in previous seasons, has made decisive errors, including one in the first leg against Feyenoord. Conceição deems a change in the goalkeeping position a priority and will seek a reliable replacement for the upcoming season.
