Summer Mercato - 2025
Could we assume something like this when the season starts: Savic- Dodo- Thiaw- Pavlovic- Udogie- Ricci- Modric- Fofana- Pulisic- Gimenez- Leao

+ Wingbacks. Udogie is better than present Theo. No doubt, and Italian. Dodo is clearly better than Walker, Royale, and still more solid than Jimenez, especially in defence. We gain experience and leadership in Modric. Sorely missed this season. Stronger defensive midfeld with Ricci.

- We lose 15 goals from Reijnders from midfield and his clever offensive positional sense. Maignan is still better GK despite a mediocre season. I do like Vanja. Looks like man you dont want to meet as an attacker. Attackers will be scared of the sight of Vanja and Strahinja. We will miss Theos X factor. Yes he was horrible but he do still have that X factor that Udogie dont have.

Managerwise Allegri is clearly a better fit, and if he could find the real motivated Leao ut could be interesting. It all depends what Allegri can get out of this teams potential. Look at Napoli, that team should really not won a scudetto. Rrhamani, Oliveira, Gilmour, Politano, Jesus, Raspadori. No way that team is on paper better than ours. Spirit and tactic can get you very far, as far as a scudetto.

Looking forward to this mercatoSmile.

That team doesn’t really inspire me in defense. Pavlovic and Thiaw should not be our starters long term. Also Vanja is not big club material. We should do what we can to hold onto Mike. If we could somehow get Donnarumma back guaranteed after his contract runs out, sure get Savic asa stop gap for the season. Otherwise stick with Maignan as he was only the product of a bad season from the entire team.
The Athletic: Manchester City reach agreement with AC Milan to sign Tijjani Reijnders. €55m fixed fee + bonuses.

This club is HORRIBLE at selling.

So many figures are out there. The ones I’m seeing are 70 or 75 million with add ons or plus add ons lol the reporters need to be the first with the story which leads to a lot of misinformation

This is just a horrow show. I have no words. Pathetic! A proper negotiator should have got at least 80 million if not more.. I dont believe this numbers before its official.
Wow I just saw the updated one. Wtf are these guys thinking? Just keep him for that fee. Sell Tomori, RLC and Chuk and you’ll get 55. What a nightmare scenario for us. These guys are a laughing stock. Tare already off to a bad start
Raindeer gone for 55M (could reach 70 with bonuses). Source: BBC
Can someone confirm it's just a bad joke or we actually decreased our poor selling skills.
Allegri + this... yeah, forza Tare!!! Into Serie B.
Avaiting for arrival of exorcist into our boardroom.
Imagine selling Reijnders, Theo and Maignan all for under 100 million. Very possible with this group. Absolutely joke.
55 milions in Zimbabwe curency?

Hope this is closer to the truth, with easy bonuses, 80 million + i think.
