Milan will now have to look to other players to fill their midfield void. With the recent departures of Caroline Rask, Julia Šimić, the team will have plenty of space in their midfield. There are also rumors that Dominika Čonč will depart for Napoli.
The Rossonere will have to work diligently to upgrade their midfield and to fill the void these players have left behind.
Serie A Femminile
Serie A Femminile will resume play on August 29th. And between August 29th and September 12th, the games will be played in the evening.
The Supercoppa Femminile will follow the same format as last year, with the tournament comprised of Juve, Milan, Roma, and Sassuolo. Roma makes the list due to winning the Coppa Italia.
Three teams will also be relegated from the league at the end of the season. This will be done in preparation for the league becoming a ten-team championship in 2022.
The AC Milan Women are currently on hiatus right now. They are on vacation and will reconvene in July in preparation for both their upcoming Champions League qualifiers, and to prepare for next season.
