Summer mercato 2020

[DrDejan]

Give him 7 and call it a day. (as much as Ibra is making) Also, slap a 75mil release clause in case of no CL.

He's obviously a great GK. But at this point, his contractual situation is a problem every summer. We are at a point where we are only giving him what he/Raiola wants only that we don't lose him for free and that we will eventually sell him for a big profit. Nobody at this point expects that he'll be here long term, so we are just delaying the inevitable until more favorable conditions to sell arise.

I personally think a great GK is very good to have. It's an underestimated position in any team. A good GK can be the difference of a 10 point swing in a season. Having said that, paying a GK 10mil per season in madness. It's madness in general, but especially for this Milan team. I'd rather be paying that to a creative CM, AM, Winger or ST. A very good GK making 3ish mil per year can also easily give you that 10 point swing. You don't need a 10mil per year GK for that.

I want us to solve this situation for the time being and eventually sell him for big bucks next season. It's a problem now though, obviusly. We are backed into a corner. He has 1 year on his contract and no serious buyers this summer. Chelsea is the biggest possibility, but the problem is they've already splashed a ton of cash on other players and I don't think they'd be willing to do the same for Donnarumma. Unfortunately, Raiola will win this one right now, but maybe we can win one next summer by banking big.

Raiola is in the driving seat for this renewal. We’ll probably have to agree to his terms if we want a signature on the contract. Our management is performing very poorly when Dollar contract is renewed.
