Summer mercato 2021
I agree that Roma has to want to stay and fight for a spot and keep his salary reasonable. With that said, Kjaer is old and the next up Gabbia is too young still. Honestly, Kjaer coming off all these shortened seasons (COVID, euros) is just going to be at risk for injury. CL games are not throw away games like EL. More intense and demanding. We need top quality depth.
If anything, Coutinho fulfills 'loan is better idea' more than most of the loans we have done, injury history being at least one reason. Based on financial reasons and may be even footballing reasons paying money plus and Romagnoli is too expensive. Also, Coutinho is not a young player anymore.

As of today july 19th based on how they (maldini and the board) act I personally do not see it likely for us to sign a big name for CAM. For me this assumption is based on non existing rumors, no linked players, how they distribute jersey numbers, not selling anyone etc. I hope things change, gain momentum. But for now i am pessimistic and tbh dont care if you find it logical or not.

Vlasic is heavily linked and is CAM. 

Ziyech, Sabitzer  linked as well who can both play CAM.

Selling is always difficult for Milan no matter who is in charge. I think the next week or 2 we will try to sell players,  then close off the Mercato with a CAM and RW.

And a lot of report's link him back to epl.  I guess we will see though.

Tbh. WHile I agree that I don't think we'll get a big name CAM.... I can't base that on non existing rumors considering there are many rumors surrounding Luis Alberto, Coutinho, Sabitzer and Tadic.

I Ultimately think none of those will come but, given the option, would love for us to sign LA.

Yeah. Trying to play Serie A and UCL with Tomori and Kjaer as starters and Gabbia/Caldara/Kalulu as backups is asking for trouble. We need to rely on Kjaer playing all those games without injury. Gabbia and Kalulu are hardly ready to start for a UCL team and Caldara is made of glass.

yeah. Despite the fact Roma only has a year left on his contract. Roma Plus $$ is a little expensive for Coutinho. Especially given the large wage he'd be asking for.

I think so too. I can't see any moves for RW and CAM without first selling more players given the money spent already.
Juventus have secured teenage Norwegian talent Elias Solberg after it’s reported they told him he could follow in the footsteps of Erling-Braut Haaland.
Solberg plays on the right side of midfield and is a product of the Ullensaker/Kisa academy.

The reporter maintains Milan had also been interested and Solberg met with director Paolo Maldini.



No Norwegian talent will join Milan after the treatment of Hauge.
Stefano Pioli wants Sassuolo star Domenico Berardi to reinforce the right wing and his arrival cannot be ruled out, according to one journalist.

Journalist Carlo Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel (via MilanLive) and confirmed that Berardi would become the favoured target for the right side


Mediocre coach obsession with mediocre players.

Times like this, I am thankful for having Elliott around to veto these kind of idiocy. Berardi is trash, we shouldn't waste any money on him at all.
Pellegatti: Pioli tells Maldini he wants Berardi for the right wing - club must convince Elliott of the investment

@86_longo
Today first direct contact between #Milan is #Nancy for #Bondo .

The club think you have done your best (offer from 700k plus attendance bonus to reach 2 million)

There is also the possibility of taking the boy to 0 (contract expiring in 2022)

But the #Milan he wants it immediately also for the Youth League[/size]

Daniele Longo@86_longo
#Milan he has already verbal agreement with the agents (of Kaio Jorge) for a commission of about 5 million euros in view of January. Now we need a definitive agreement with Santos to anticipate the arrival in Italy

@cmdotcom: AC Milan are interested in #ShakhtarDonetsk's #Tete, the value of the Brazilian player is 20/25M. The player has a contract with the Ukrainian club until 2023
