Monto-Loca-Kucka was probably the most solid midfield-3 we had.

It's possible but I think it will be a small chance and even then he will not be ready to play any meaningful minutes. Remember Mexes' ACL injury? He had it at the end of the season with Roma but already signed for us in January. IIRC, Mexes did not play very meaningful season that season other than some garbage time, it was around April/May.
But once again, it all depends on how badly its torn and how his body responds to treatment and physical therapy.
Maybe offer him the same as Zambro and Oddo, spread his contract out over more years aka taking a salary cut per year.
Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo says he’s stronger than the “legions of imbeciles” who attack him on social media.
The midfielder has been heavily criticised by Rossoneri fans in recent times, with some even celebrating his cruciate ligament injury on Italy duty, as it means he cannot play for his club.
In addition, fans at Juventus Stadium whistled the Azzurri star when he was taken off against Germany.
“Whistling someone who goes off on a stretcher is scandalous, for anyone with a minimum of sensibility,” Montolivo told La Repubblica.
“And social media has, as Umberto Eco said, given voice to legions of imbeciles. The internet is a world without rules, it can be useful but you need to have some common sense.
“I was tempted to respond on Facebook. I respect critics, but in recent times it’s been so exaggerated on social media, with no filters.
“I received a lot of messages of support from teammates, opponents and athletes from other sports.
“The most important ones where [Sergio] Parisse and [Luigi] Datome, captains of the national rugby and basketball teams.
“Also [Gianluigi] Buffon, he wasn’t afraid to take a strong position, even probably - in part - against fans of his own team.”
Montolivo also criticised Spain and Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos for the challenge which led to his injury.
“It wasn’t a dangerous ball, there was no need to come in so hard. Ramos was doing a classic intimidatory action. The pain was crazy.
“While getting the scan I was hoping professor Castellacci would tell me it was nothing, but no: ruptured cruciate ligament.
“I’m proud of my career, now I only think about healing. But at 31 I don’t want the last image of me in an Italy shirt to be being stretchered off at Juventus Stadium.”
Awww monto what a true capitano

IF I was forced to sacrifice one player to injury from our roster it would probably be him.

I would not give up my sick leave-payment - why should he? Not his fault that he is injured.
And because Kaka did it he should do it?
I think it was a great gesture from Kaka, but don´t let this develop into pressuring players to do that, you have a contract = you deserve every penny you get out of it.

FIFA are paying his salary since he got injured while on NT duty.
He shouldn't let go of any cent.
Kaka did that for like 1-2 weeks, after milking RM and Milan dry.
If he and Galliani told the truth that is.
He announced it in a video, lol.

Milan 'only €50m transfer budget'
Milan will only have €50m at their disposal for the summer transfer market, reports suggest.
After a takeover from Chinese investors was completed, it was thought that the Rossoneri would invest a great deal in the team at the end of the campaign.
Reports have linked the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette with a move to San Siro, but according to Leggo the budget will be set at a strict €50m.
This figure does not include any funds raised from the sale of players such as Carlos Bacca, but club executives Marco Fassone and Massimiliano Mirabelli would have to be scrupulous in the transfer market if the report is accurate.

Id take if it meant we invest smart and sell the rubbish.
