Too soon for a Milan Scudetto challenge, Pirlo claims

The ex-midfielder believes that being consistent on a regular basis will prove too much for his former side, despite their great investment

Andrea Pirlo feels qualifying for the Champions League, not winning the Scudetto, is a realistic objective for the new-look AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have made significant outlays in the off-season transfer market, bringing in Andre Silva and Leonardo Bonucci from Porto and Juventus respectively, among a host of other recruits.

That has led some observers to claim Vincenzo Montella's team, who finished sixth last season, are now capable of challenging for their first title since 2010-11.
