Summer Mercato - 2025

[Leoni9900]

Looks like we are set for Jashari round 2. Athekame has Milan at the top of his wish list so Young Boys increased the asking price and Milan won’t go over 10. What a joke this is becoming lol

Same with the asking price for Hojlund. Was 30-35 million and now 45 for Milan.

That's okay. Just bring back Calabria. I read that he changed his agent recently who is also the agent of Ricci and a friend of Furlani's.

Di Marzio reports that Como will now pay the 3 million. 

Every deal that involves Milan is a soap opera. I really hope Galliani comes back and straightens everything out.

 Galliani created "soap opera" when it comes to transfers. Have we forgotten? "Mr x.", "Jackson Si", Biabiany.......just to name a few. "The days of the Condor" was invented by Galliani ffs, because he didn't want to pay early and figured price will drop in the last days. . Galliani also operated pre all this "twitter insider" bullshit.....and there was still drama surrounding every transfer. 

Love Galliani. Grew up with him but he's not the answer. Money is. 

Galliani can definitely help with influence within Italy however. Even if, his own influence is probably at an all-time low without Berlu behind him.

Yeah, thank God that Galliani is expected to come to replace Scaroni as president.

With his "loan with option" masterpiece, we can expect to stay in San Siro and wait for another century to buy

Joking aside, having him back is surely a nice decision, making this Milan more Milan

Not sure the Hojlund situation is much like Jashari. Di Marzio reports we've already agreed a deal with Man U for Hojlund, and the price ManU raised to was because we were pushing for loan + option. Ultimately they've pretty much signed Sesko so they've now apparently agreed to loan + option with figure somewhere around the 35+ a few m in bonuses. 

My personal opinion on Hojlund - very mobile striker. Hasn't scored a lot of goals but he could've netted 20+ at Atalanta with the amount of chances and shots on goal he created mostly for himself. He's very impressive at opening up his body with his first touch to take strikes on goals. Definitely one of the higher potential strikers out there. I'm happy with his signing especially a loan + option, if he fails he goes back. 

Midfield is set. Right back that Athakame kid looks really promising, hopefully he's wrapped up. Midfield looks very good. IF we sell Thiaw to Newcastle for 30-40m I definitely expect a replacement. My assumption is we probably will..

[Arildonardo]

Offers of €30m for Musah from Nottingham and Napoli.  Looks like he's convincing Allegri these days and he wants him to stay. He's still only 22, so there should be plenty of room to develop further. If we sell, he needs to be replaced. Guerra? Anyway, I'm not against keeping Musah if he's starting to show his potential and the coach is happy.

[sylrus]

hojlund is promising indeed, especially if we can get him with a loan, but athekame, i dont think he is worth the time to play here

[Arildonardo]

Manchester United bought Højlund for €80m two years ago when his market value (according to Transfermarkt) was €45m. This summer they've signed players for €230m (including Sesko when he signs) and are not finished doing business. They've sold for nothing, all outgoing players are on loan or free transfers. I can see why they want to recoup something from Højlund at least...

My concern is that Højlund has never scored a lot of goals, but he's still young and should (and must) score more and more as he gains more experience.

[Arildonardo]

If Newcastle want to pay €40m for Thiaw we should immediately start parallel negotiations with Parma for Leoni and make sure we have him as a replacement before letting Thiaw go.

Allegri is happy with Thiaw and wants him to stay after being impressed in preseason, that is a reason for us to keep him. Also, Leoni is very young and I don't think he is as ready as Thiaw is at this moment.

Leoni is one for the future, that is if we have the time or patience to wait. We usually don't...

[Aficio]

Musah was the captain of England youth teams, leader of Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, and Jamal Musiala

At least the physical abilities of him was confirmed early, and we can still see it now.
IMO, he should be used like Mc Tomminey in Napoli, Pobega in Bologna, or somewhat like Mkhitaryan, an AM with less defensive duty.
His dribbling and speed will be helpful at higher position, especially when the only similar player, RLC, is injury-prone. Modric or Pulisic can also play AM but they have other duties.
