Summer Mercato 2022
If Brahim should play, i would put him as RW... CDK should be uncontestable starter as AM
Atalanta set to rival Milan for Wolfsburg's Aster Vranckx.

Maybe they can buy Bakayoko for €50m tomorrow? WTF. Angry

And there are rumors that they are willing to buy Osimhen for over €100M, send Ronaldo to Napoli on loan AND cover up to 85% of wages. It's insane! Unbelievable!  

Meanwhile, our offer for Aster is €1M loan + €11M option to buy.  Icon_lol2
Our stinginess is already at the level that Shalke (and Wolfs) do not want to lengthen the negotiation Big Grin
I know Vranckx from his days in Belgium, and I’ve seen him a few times with wolfsburg.
Very interesting profile, strong, athletic, good on the ball.
Dunno why it hasnt worked out for him at wolfsburg, as he for sure is a very talented kid.
But he’s only 19, so I dont know how much we can immediately expect from him.
But Milan is the perfect environment for youngsters these days, and we have 3 other belgians in the squad wich will be good for his intergration.

1m loan + option, that means we have some money left for a right winger Big Grin No?

Enough for another Messias or Saelemaekrs Grinundwech
Also bakayoko seems on his way out.
To newcastle or loan contract terminated
Seems Bakayoko out Vranckx in.
So our wage bill is lower than last season I suppose. While the overall quality has improved. maldini for sure is something else!
Per Capology, our gross wage bill stands at €77.4M this year (so far). Per the same site, last season it was €87.7M.

With that being said, there are wages on there that shouldn't be (unless we are paying a portion):
Duarte 1.28
Maldini 560k
Colombo 560k
Brescianini 300k
On the other hand, Lazetic doesn't have a salary listed. Either way, none of those are significant to impact the point being made.....which is that we HAVE lowered our wage bill again this summer - yet revenue is steadily climbing.

Few important changes between last season and this (gross #s):
Ibra at 1.9 - last season at 8.9
Florenzi at 3.7 - last season at 5.5 (Roma's contract - loan)
