Summer mercato 2024

I wonder if Fonseca will try with 3-4-3 with Thiaw- Tomori- Pavlovic, or a regular 4-3-3 with Pavlovic- Tomori. I wonder if Fonseca actually will focus on Thiaw. He has a lot higher ceiling. The problem is the lack of speed with a Thiaw- Pavlovic partnership.

If we finish the mercato with Morata, Fofana, Pavlovic and Fullkrug we should be pretty happy.


Okmilan me too. Fofana is the most important, IMO, it seems the commond ground is somewhere around 18m.

Looks like we're going for Samardzic? Rabiot is still linked. Did we abandon Fofana?

I would be incredibly happy if we signed Samardzic and Fofana for the midfield. For LB I’m good with Jimenez being deputy to Theo. At least some youth will get minutes which I honestly think Simic would get if he ended up staying. RB needs to be addressed next summer as well. Calabria does nothing in attack

They offered him a 300k salary.

Really? Kalulu was given 800k about 4 years ago...
Trabzonspor have asked about Divock Origi on loan with the option to buy.

Capello: "The Rossoneri conceded several goals last year, but the fault, in my opinion, was not their defensive strength, but the lack of a filter in midfield. A decisive factor.”
"Fofana is a dam. A balancer. Someone who can act as a breakwater and plug that gap that emerged last season. With his addition, Milan would solve a big problem."

Well, at least we can get something although he will return next summer.

Kalulu earned €500k before he signed his current contract.

That is twice as much as the Norwegian prime minister. He's 19 and hasn't done anything yet. Although the main reason for not signing a new contract is that he wants to play at a higher level than Serie C. I believe he wouldn't do that at Milan.

True. I think the main issue is his salary. I don't think we are expecting any transfer fee realistically. 

At least that would get one year's salary covered (though we may still have to pay partial.)
