Summer Mercato 2022

The thing i dont like a about signing Botman despite his qualities is that he sure will be a starter together with Tomori. I dont want Kalulu to be a sub and possibly stop his development.

I wonder if the staff sees Kalulu as the first choice RB next year? Yes we all love Calabria for all his passion for our colours, he is a good defender defensively, but does he has the qualities to take this team to the next level? We saw in CL that he has his limits against the very best. He is a good tackler, fine stamina, grit and passion, but he dont have Kalulu speed which is so important in the modern game, he is not so calm with the ball as Kalulu, and i think Kalulu has wastly more potensial going forward. You saw it with his goals for France U team. He has important offensive qualities.

A backline with Theo- Tomori- Botman- Kalulu is somethink really exiting. With a backline like this we can stay extremely high on the pitch when everyone has great speed in the backline. This will fit Pioli style perfect.

I think it's crazy to expect 2 CB to play all the games. Tomori was played way too much at the start of the season. I would expect at least 3 high level CB excluding Kjaer. Kalulu and Tomori are simply not enough IMO, we need another good CB to ensure the backline is secure. Getting botman will not affect Kalulu development, I expect Kalulu to get enough game time with Kjaer being more or less a backup figure.

As reported by the journalist Gerard Romero who covers the Catalan club closely, Barcelona reached an agreement with Kessie during talks that took place last night and the operation can be considered closed.

The Ivorian will remain with the Rossoneri until the end of the season and then will start a new experience in Spain, moving on a free transfer. What is interesting is that Romero adds (via BarcaInfo) that he will earn €4m net per season plus €2.5m in potential bonuses, which would be less than the reported offers from Milan.

The story get more crazy, kessie would rather go to Barcelona for 4m + 2.5m? Those rumours of 8m per month are not true then, I can't imagine money face kessie giving up 8m salary for 6.5m salary.

I won't spend 30M on Botman when we have non existant RW. Get Viti, good prospect, Send Gabbia on loan. We need a statement signing for RW, Berardi would be nice or Rapinha/Tete? Sanches is still dubious option for me, considering his injury record or how about Kamara for free?

[hwmook]

Especially for free. He is a decent player in all fairness works pretty hard and he's got good decision making I noticed. A lot of Torino players messing up passes/one touches but Belotti almost never put a foot wrong. He is very good at touch and go football.

On a side note, with each growth phase of this team which I think will be competing for CL very soon (fingers crossed) - I notice Kessie starting to look out of place. Lethargic, lacking ideas. All he really contributes at this point to our team is strength and work horse.

Kessie is starting to look lacking because we got Tonali and doesn't need to depend on him. Tonali make kessie look too ordinary now. I am looking forward to see how Adil and Pobega will fit into this team.

100% agree that we cannot rely on just Kalulu and Tomori. But my worries is that we use a big part of our budget on him and Sanches, and will not have money to strengthen the real problem areas(RW, ACM, CF). This is the utterly most important thing to fix. 

It goes down to this: Will you sacrifice Berardi for Botman?

YES!!

The same

Rumour--->not realistic---->rumour again----->not possible

pattern keeps repeating.

Carlo Pellegatti: #RenatoSanches seems to ask for a salary of €6/7M but Milan does not want to exceed €4/4.5M except in exceptional cases

[ACMmike]

"According to reports in Italy, PSG are ready to offer €70m for Milan star Rafael Leao."

GdS

Let's ask everyone here the question. Would you guys sell for that price?

I wouldn't,  for the reason that I don't believe he will be replaced by someone or ones with the same influence he's had this season.

i would, there is so much LW in the world with his talent, maybe hauge can be played there if he is not sold
