If thats true, then Milan are trying to copy Beppe, but failing miserably at it.
Milan is currently the little $#@! of serie a. Nobody wants to go to a team owned by a greedy rampant pedophile, who's trying to sell everything to thai ladybois, while ruining the team.
So foreign players reject them. Much like pretty much anything rejected juventus pre-conte.
So Milan does what Beppe dit. Buy domestical players, preferably italian, to fill the team, and work from there.
However, there is no $#@!ing way even in those circumstances that Bertolacci and Romagnoli are worth THAT much.
Especially taking into accound that Milan is feeding off scraps here, since juventus has basically had first pick on most talent.
