I searched the Internet and now I feel deeply concerned. While one may argue that it is his own free will/choice as an adult, I can't help but thinking that he is still not ready to take on responsibilities. Almost all our legendary players behave professionally and cherish their own health (and reputation). As for Niang, his talent may be there, but if he remains reckless off the pitch, he is going to get hurt or get into trouble again. 

Bottom line, Milan cannot count on him, if he doesn't make fundamental change to his personal life style (which he won't).
On Ibrahimovic, it is speculated that he won't announce anything until July 1. His current contract with PSG, which runs out on June 30, carries a "loyalty" bonus of 4 million euros to reward the completion. If he makes a public announcement of transfer, (at least according to that report), he will lose that money.

and no, I don't think he is coming to Milan anyway.
Niang is a huge idiot. Seriously. Would be great to get Ibra but, despite him loving Milan, there's nothing we can offer him. Unless Silvio sells off now, and the new owners work on a deal for him immediately, I can't see it happening... And the way things are going, I cant even see us selling the club... again... I wonder if there will be another group interested in buying the club next year...
I can't bear this never ending cycle of false hope which inevitably turns into the disappointment of yet another year of sub par football from a club run by two senile old men

That sounds like journalist crap to me. His contract is expiring within a month and according to the Bosman he is free to negotiate a new contract with another team 6 months before his current deal runs out (at least it was like that before). At this point it is none of PSG's business where he is going, he will complete his contract anyway... This is Raiola's and Ibra's game, not PSG's.

And just for the record, I don't think he'll end up at Milan either. With no sale, it wouldn't make sense to sign him, as he costs too much and he is not Italian.  Devilol
This is how I see Milan of nexr season , its the most realistic option and most likely to happen.

Coach: Brocchi
--------------------Donnarumma--------------------
Abate--Romagnoli--Paletta--Antonelli
---Poli----Montolivo----Bertolacci-----
--------Bonaventura/Vasquez------------
--------Balotelli---Matri/Pavoletti

Pavoletti Vasquez I actually think is pretty unlikely , Palermo want €30 to €35m for Vasquez but I think he'll go for €20m.Pavoletti , Genoa say €25m but I see him going for €18/€20m.Thats a bit more realistic as Milan could his fee down to maybe €10/€112m leaving Suso at Genoa.

Honestly , that team ...with Brocchi as coach we're looking at anywhere from 8th to 15th.If it all collapses as it prob will I see Milan only spitting distance above the relegation places and those just above for the majority of the season.But hey , we won lots in the past so its all good.
Berlu thinks for the long term, Italian Milan will be backbone for NT for years to come. Lol..




Just SELL it.
West ham bid for Ante Coric, if not wrong you guys mentioned about him here.
yeah, he's the one nefremo mentioned recently. I'd be shocked if West Ham get him, but it would just so the financial strength and marketing power of the Premiership.
Don't forget that Slaven Bilic is the West Ham coach so he probably has a lot to do with this.

I really really hope we are keeping tabs on this. I don't think the money will be crazy, but if it's somewhere within the 20mil range (I believe it will be) than we should go all in for this. Milan even at the current state has more pull than West Ham. This is another Modric (different player and approach, but you get my drift) in the making. Get him now before he is worth crazy 60+ mil....and if all goes as it should with his development, he will be easily worth that very soon!
The Italian Milan initiative can work, if given the proper support and environment for it to prosper. If we just make it our mission to stockpile young talents and promote youngsters from internal youth teams, we could set ourselves up to be the new Dortmund, provided we pick the right players, develop them correctly and don't over expose them early to raise unrealistic expectations. All of this can be exciting, except that our management has been known to be very impatient (how many ugly games before Berlu decides to pull the plug on this initiative) and we have a terrible track record at developing young players (Pato, ELS, DES, Sokratis, etc.). The project itself is not a bad one, and plenty of teams around Europe had adopted to it and achieved success, but I really have a hard time seeing us achieving that same success with it, given our shortcomings as a team.

The confusing part to me, is why is Berlu trying to do this? I get the fact that it is cheaper, but Berlu is 80 years old. And even if he doesn't sell the team now (good chance of that, it seems), you have to think there is a chance that he might not even live long enough to see a young Milan team win anything, even if the project works out. And make no mistake about it, as soon as Berlu passes away, his family is selling the team to the first buyer that comes along. Adopting to this policy pretty much guarantees Berlu will go trophyless in the last decade of his ownership. As the gigantic egomaniac that Berlu is, is that really the legacy he wants to leave behind? Berlu's motivations these days are just confusing and illogical to me.
