"CM: Pulisic to Milan a done deal as Chelsea accept bid worth €20m."

Nothing is done until everything is signed...

[Arildonardo]

As expected:

"Origi’s decision not to move – together with the difficulty in selling Junior Messias and Ante Rebic changes the plans for Milan who now might not be able to make a big investment for a No.9. If Origi stays, Milan will take a low-cost option or a loan."

And his contract is €5.24m gross salary until 2026.And Rebic until 2025 for 4.5 gross?
OK, Rebic was good for us, why give Origi 4 years contract? Just let him rot on the bench.

Ive always had positive thoughts for Pulisic. Could have done better sure, but the guy is definitely talented. Italian football is more suitable to him than the EPL

Phew! Finally some encouraging words to say about Pulisic. Honestly I was getting apprehensive with all the negative comments about him.

Milan and Toulouse can participate in European competitions, but cannot transfer, loan... players between.
So we can forget about Dalinga as the new CF (his name is not mentioned seriously anyway)

Pulisic is a good addition, an upgrade over Diaz -> can provide at least the same amount of goals and assist.
Reijnders is as good at shooting as Tonali, so we can expect the same amount of goal.
Diaz & Tonali are 2 ok sources of goals. So I am looking forward to hearing about those 2 new players.

Origi at full fitness is not bad for a 3rd option CF & LW. He knows the team better now and his ability is quite good.
And if his performance is acceptable, we can sell him next season for better money.

Origi staying may influence our decision on Colombo (to keep him or not). But it shouldn't influence our plan to bring in a striker. Origi or not, we 100% need a CF.

I wonder what it'll take to bring Hojlund. I'd give Atalanta Colombo and CDK for Hojlund. Plus some cash. We could be set with Hojlund for years to come (or until they sell him off to the EPL ). But a 20 year old that scored 9 goals in his 1st season in Serie A will for sure only get better. He's got everything necessary to double that in his 2nd season and beyond.

[Aficio]

Well, Atalanta management think the same as nefremo about Hojlund's potential. He can reach Vlahovic's transfer price (I doubt CDK + Colombo can)

The best win-win option is to trade loans with big money, so Hojlund will have a better environment to shine & CDK will have less pressure environment to improve, then both clubs can sell them for better prices.

[Santino]

One question. Who is our DM for the next season?

Pulisic is basically a gamble. 

If things go well he is fit and perform to the best level he showed in his first year with Chelsea or even better.

But he can as well mimic last years form were he produced pretty much nothing and/or mostly check in milanlab.
