Leeds United ‘ready sensational AC Milan announcement’ at Elland Road
Leeds United are set to confirm massive plans with AC Milan, and the Elland Road hierarchy are already laying plans behind the scenes.
The Whites beat Burnley to the Championship title after a dramatic end in the final fixture of the regular season against Plymouth Argyle.
Daniel Farke will now have another chance in the Premier League after failing to keep Norwich City in the top flight a few years ago.
The West Yorkshire outfit are ensuring the team are in their best shape for the start of next season, with some exciting news involving AC Milan.
AC Milan to face Leeds United in pre-season friendly
AC Milan are expected to face the Whites in a pre-season friendly in August, according to YEP.
The news outlet reports (19 May) that the Peacocks are set to announce a sensational fixture against the Serie A giants soon, which will take place in the Republic of Ireland.

| Championship | 46 | 29 | 13 | 4 |
Apart from the match against Manchester United in Sweden at the Strawberry Arena on 19 July, the West Yorkshire outfit’s plans for the summer are unknown.
It’s been claimed that Farke’s team will take on the Rossoneri at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 9 August, a week before the upcoming Premier League campaign starts.
Farke will want strong team for Premier League survival
Farke will want 49ers Enterprises to build a squad capable of competing against the top teams in the top flight.
It wouldn’t make sense for Paraag Marathe not to back the German manager in the upcoming transfer window and risk the Whites being immediately relegated.
The West Yorkshire outfit has some impressive pre-season plans, but they must invest in quality players to make the most of them.
Leeds can’t go into the Premier League without any quality in depth, as was seen in the Championship this season.
The Whites were forced to sign Josuha Guilavogui as a free agent in October after failing to plan for Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev’s injuries.
Farke should also demand more centre-backs at the West Yorkshire outfit, as Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk had to play for most of the campaign without proper support.
Taking on AC Milan will be decent preparation for the Peacocks’ first game back in the top flight after a two-year absence, but it’ll be interesting to see what sort of squad the German manager will have at his disposal.
