The Rossoneri are preparing for a title-defending season at Serie A.

AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli has confirmed his side will stay active in the current transfer window.

The Rossoneri have added four new players to their ranks ahead of the new Serie A season.

Following the free transfer of Divock Origi from Liverpool, Milan activated their option to sign Alessandro Florenzi on a €4.5m deal earlier this summer.

The Serie A champions then signed Crotone winger Junior Messias, before breaking the bank for Charles De Ketelaere’s transfer from Club Brugge.

“I am very happy with who has arrived. If there is a chance to improve the squad, we will not back down,” Pioli said ahead of Milan’s Serie A opener against Udinese.

“The transfer market can offer you situations that you may not have thought of until now. 

“If there is the possibility the squad will be improved; different characteristics may be needed from those we have.”

Pioli expects to see another close title race in Serie A this season.

“It will be a special season,” he added. “Today I showed the team the whole calendar until November 13 and many will have 23-24 games in 90 days.

“I will need everyone available. In three months we will have already played a lot: we play 15 league games, the Champions League…

“It will be a very balanced championship and I think it will be difficult for everyone to improve the standard of the last championship. All the top eight are at a high level, the mid-table ones have grown. It will be a good fight.”
