Summer transfer window 2017

[ACMILAN1983]

I'm no finance expert and am not in a position to fully understand the complete situation, but from what I've read the problem isn't whether the club has the financial might to buy these players (it seems it's there). Instead, the problem seems to be similar to when the club was purchased, in that transferring the funds overseas is the difficulty, especially as Elliot fund have financed the club's sale. Italian banks don't see much profit when loaning to football clubs and with Elliot involved it seems there's a further distrust to provide guarantees on these transactions.

I do think this will get resolved, if not directly with a bank then through another means. However, I do hope the new management and ownership get this matter resolved quickly, because it seems if we're not careful, this could leave us in a very frustrating position with making transfers and will begin to potentially impact the club's reputation.

De Santis was considered to be one of the best CBs in the youth system for a long time. I remember Dev bringing up his name several times.

He was a player with a lot of potential, though I ought to say that I did say I had some doubts about his pace and ability to defend 1 v 1 to really reach the Milan first team. That was when we were still under B&Gs management.

Right now, even with a buy back clause I don't think there's much hope in him ever playing for Milan first team though I wish him the best.
