Al Nassr readying an 85 million euro bid for Leao

"The Saudi Pro League club are even willing to invest between €70-85m as a transfer fee. They carried out an investigation through intermediaries on Thursday 30 January to see what Leao’s thoughts were, and the response they got was negative.

However, Milan closed the door firmly on the idea of a sale in January, all with the market in Saudi Arabia close to closing and little room for negotiation in this market. Al Nassr had already received a ‘no’ from Brighton for Mitoma at the same price."

I would just say yes and offload him. Then work on getting rid of Theo in the summer. But wow, they value Leao and Mitoma at the same price

[Zio Fester]

Corriere: Milan had accepted Como's €40m bid for Theo Hernandez but the player refused.

Broke Gerry wants to cash out.

Good to see Morata leaving. With that pending money and his salary gone, maybe it will be "enough" to "break the bank" for this Feyenord dude.
Felix... as long as he's loan with option, have no complaints there.

[xudong]

If both Camarda and Morata is out then for sure we will sign another forward. There are literarly no other players.... Uh wait, is Zlatan doing this so his son can debut for the first team. LOL.

Then fire the coach and his father when he refuses?

[xudong]

With Felix and Gimenez we will probably go for 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-2? Maignan- Walker- Thiaw- Pavlovic- Theo- Fofana- Reijnders- Pulisic- Leao- Felix- Gimenez. Felix as a SS. Could be interesting, but our problem is cohesion and motivation. Players like Mbappe, Haaland etc would also have had problems in this pr PT.

That in fact would be a very decent lineup. But as you said (and I agree), cohesion and motivation is key. Also we need a bench of some decent subs.

[Santino]

At the heart of the turmoil is manager Sergio Conceicao, whose strict methods have reportedly alienated several key players. The Portuguese coach’s recent altercation with striker Alvaro Morata, following a substitution during the halftime break of their Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, has brought these tensions to the forefront.
Sources close to the team cite the coach’s harsh criticisms during tactical meetings and strict disciplinary measures, such as the early departure of the team bus before the Parma match, as points of contention.

Little bitches can go and be treated like superstars Como.

[Sampinjon]

They need someone to put them in their true places. To reconnect them with reality. They're tripping being some kind of untouchable primadonna superstars who deserves PSG, Real, Bayern etc... while reality is that they can attract offers only from Como and Al-Nassr.
Someone like Ferguson who had no problem slapping players or throwing shoes and bottles at them. Although, I'm not sure if those methods are legal these days when everybody are "endangered and offended" by everything.

Am I the only one who believes that the key issue is in the CB position (along with the ST and CDM positions) ! How many times can we affort to lose the ball in the opposite penalty box and there is no one with the heart to track back just to have a very easy run at the centre defence ! I couldnt believe my eyes how easily Tomori got wrong footed in the Zagreb game (not that the Zagreb players were doing anything exceptional). If the current CBs face Barca, we will get raped ! Barring Gabbia, at least two CBs should be sold! Tomori and perhaps Pavlovic who had a few good matches due to his pure grit, but I seriously doubt his long term quality and hence should be cashed in when the time is right and re-onvest in someone more technical like Scalvini or Bellanova for instance.

What normal adult person would be motivated by such things (and also, that was not something Ferguson normally did)? Nobody would want to come here and play if methods like that were deployed and accepted at the club.
