The main concern with him is that he may prevent Liberalis growth who is the bigger star for me. Now if Pulisic can’t play the ten (I suspect he will get injured in that role) that is a different story as RLC seems to be a deeper player leaving only a 17 year old for that role.
Surely the club can't be blind as to prefer Salaemakers to Chiesa? This is the perfect time to get rid of him, profitably. Take this opportunity.

We will be here next mercato trying to offload him after another mediocre season from him.

No-nonsense, I like it!

Getting Samardzic is very nice. Not only because he is the best "money ball" name, but we actually need a proper CAM as both Pulisic and RLC are not natural at the position, and Liberali is not yet matured. But Adli and Pobega must be offloaded.

2 weeks left. The rooster is well-organized but can still be better.
Zlatan's statements during the presentation of Fofana:

Is the mercato over?
"“The coach is the coach, the club does the rest. We don’t need to make any more signings. With these four new ones, we have doubled the alternatives However, the market closes when I say it closes. We are on day 6 out of 7.”

Are you exploring a third striker?
“We don’t want to block our talents...We are confident in our Torriani will be Maignan’s deputy, then when Sportiello returns, they will have competition.

God rested on the seventh day, do you want to do better than him?
“I don’t feel tired, so let’s continue…”

Is Manu Koné part of the seventh day?
“We are following him, he has grown a lot. He played in the Olympics, then we will see what we have in our heads. But yes, we are following him. With Fofana, a bit of space closes for him because they are similar players, but we will see. There is only one day left in which we are creating this new world of Milan.”
If we sign a new midfielder it will definitely not be Danilo from Nottingham Forest who were linked some time ago. He suffered a broken ankle in their first league match today.
Reports that it's a done deal for Samardzic to Atalanta.

Well, you can't have them all...[emoji124]
Losing Samardzic makes getting Chiesa even more important imo. Obviously Fonseca is playing Saelemakers at LB to see if he can be more versatile than just being able to play both wings. I really don’t like him as a player for us. He’s suited to a mid table club

Probably Koné is the man then. I think Samardzic is a good purchase for Atalanta...

"Atalanta have now agreed a deal with Udinese for the transfer of Serbia international Lazar Samardzic according to reports in Italy.

La Dea have reached an agreement over a €20m price tag, with up to €5m in bonuses according to reports from Sky Sport Italia.

The Italian outlet adds that Samardzic is ready to travel and is expected to undergo a medical with his new club on Sunday."

Chiesa for Saelemaekers is a defnitely a no-brainer.

Chiesa swap with Chelsea's Sterling fell through because Sterling earns and requests twice as high salary as Chiesa...
If Fonseca is so adamant about keeping Saelemakers, why don’t we offer a Kalulu/Chiesa swap? Kalulu must be worth the same as Sael no?
