Summer Mercato - 2025
Good point, @Aficio. Let's hope that it works out for us because Boniface does seem to possess some important qualities to be a great player.

By the way, there is report that Gimenez's agent was informed that he can leave as long as the sale can generate 28M. Conrad Harder is on the verge of joining Rennes. I guess Vlahovic is still possible?

Apparently we've now officially taken in 200m, with Chuk, Adli, Bennacer still potentially on he chopping block. IF Gimenez does get sold ontop of that in addition to the others.. we could generate another 60-70m. Apparently we've only spent around 115-120m. IF we generated another 60-70m that's 260-270m, over 150m to spend.. I would really hope for some big names @ that point even though we seem to have a nicely put together squad.

Højlund will go to Napoli and prove us wrong.

I'm not sure it means we can spend €150m. It means our owners can pocket some money for another vacation home with a large swimming pool.
Boniface "thorough medical" today. Let's see...

The phrase “Højlund wants to feel full confidence” keeps popping up, but confidence isn’t something others can hand to him. He has to build it from within.

Right now, he seems mentally fragile. But maybe Conte is the right coach to unlock his potential, just as he did with Lukaku.

We might end up missing Højlund, but honestly, our squad already has enough issues to sort out.

I think he would have felt full confidence if a club signed him permanently (loan+obligation). If he was mentally fragile his first choice wouldn't be to stay and fight for his place at Man Utd.

Anyway, we're not into taking more economical risks this window and have dropped our interest, so I guess it doesn't matter now.
Dusan Vlahovic a €100m operation.

Loan for €5m with €24m option to buy. €6m net per season + €15m sign-on fee. 5 year contract.

Well, IMO, he is like an old salaryman who loves a stable job  Icon_lol2

And yes, Milan's finance & squad look more stable, so forget the boy. Big Grin
