Even if they aren't competing for trophies, Milan should be able to improve their squad to compete for the top spot in Serie A. Milan struggled quite a bit last season, finishing in eighth place. This wasn't an expected result, as they were previously a top place contender. They made short term efforts to immediately revamp the team's performance for maximum results. But we'll see how they perform in the new season.
Is it even possible that Milan will not want to compete for a trophy next season?, anyways improving their team is very important in any case, because they are such a top team that cannot settle for anything below top 5 on the table by the end if the season, and for me if they will not be striving for major trophy like the cheapo league, they should try to win the Serie A title, that will be.a good achieve by the end of the season which will also help their confidence moving forever.
