Summer mercato 2021

[reza]

Political message was already sent by ditching Donnarumma and signing Maignan one single day after end of season.
If it is true that Tonali was asked to accept a wage cut it is one of the more ridiculous Milan related things I have heard and (like all of us) I have lived though the banter era.

This suggests that we are moving to less of a family ideal and more business. Not too crazy to ask for a salary adjustment considering we are doing it to Kessie and lost Hakan and dolla to it. Let’s also all be honest and admit the media is probably only reporting like 25% of what’s going on. Maldini and company are super tight lipped. We see James rumors then learn there aren’t even negotiations.

Maldini needs to get us Dolberg. That kid has some serious style. No Schick. No Isak. No Belotti. No Jovic.

Dolberg!

And bring Damsgaard too. He is also very good.

Dolberg is decent, but nothing special really. Also based on what he's done at club level.

Damsgaard is talented and has all the tools to become great. Sampdoria want €30-40m for him though...

Don’t by guys after major tournaments. They always lead to inflated rates when they succeed in only a few games.

LOL political message?! Now I really really hope this report is nothing but a bunch of bs, because that would be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. If Maldini wants to change the culture of the team, and turn our pay structure into a merit based system, then that should apply to the entire team, not just a couple of players he doesn't like. Is Maldini going to ask Krunic to take a pay cut for consistently being the worst player on the field every time he gets in? How about Samu? He deserves a 50% pay cut minimum for being trash. Oh hey, Daniel Maldini hadn't done crap since he joined the 1st team, how about we ask him for a pay cut too?

I was replying to Reso. Political in the sense that management sends a message to players and agents.

If we can't afford Tonali why are we being linked to James, Coutinho and the like. So of course at least half of the rumours are complete BS.

[honsano]

Poor Sheva. His Ukraine team looked half decent. Just some poor defensive mistakes.

[DrDejan]

This whole Tonali thing has turned into a farce. What are we trying to do, save another 200K a year from his wage? What good is that going to do? Are we going to break even because of this? If we don't want the guy, then just don't sign him. This kind of slime ball negotiation tactics is going to turn us into a joke in future negotiations with other teams and players.

I understand hard negotiation, and fully support salary structure and low operating costs. 
However, I don’t  understand 7mil to Ibra, 8 to Dollar, 4 to Hakan. That’s f***ing embarrassing.

Maldini can negotiate the deal

Meh, it doesn't matter anyway. I was partially sarcastic, but all these rumours indicate we're ditching the youth movement. Looks like we're selling youth buying experience.
