Although the immediate priority is to see Milan clinch a top five finish in Serie A to book a Europa League spot for next season, the Rossoneri are targeting a Champions League spot in 2018 when four Serie A teams, instead of three, can qualify for Europe's premier club competition. "The Champions League is a platform a club like Milan can't be without," said Milan's new chief exectuvie Marco Fassone. "There are four places up for grabs as of 2018-2019, so I won't hide the fact that our aim is to take one of those places. "That is our aim, but we also want to create a strong and competitive squad." One of Milan's internal priorities is to secure the services of 18-year-old goalkeeping sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma.


Considered the heir to Italy and Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, whom he grew up idolising, Donnarumma is a target for a number of top clubs despite signing a new-improved three-year deal last year.
