Summer mercato 2021

[ACM2023]

Yes, Belotti at that price range would be a great pickup. 

Caldara .... 

[Sleeping Giant]

Bonazzoli of Torino would be another good option if we are looking to strengthen CF department

[Hitman]

Since Brobbey emerged again I did a quick check at transfermarkt in the evaluation of the big black central forwards that has somewhat linked with Milan and got this:
Thuram 40m
Kean 30m
Daka 20m
Edouard 13.5m
Sima 8m
Weah 7.5m
Brobbey 4m

I don't intend to go deep into their algorithm, nor do I believe any of these players will arrive anytime soon, since Leao is already here and Belotti gets more possible. It just seems like this list gets longer and if none will be sold under 20m, the market is inflated in this economy.

They def must be thinking about their next star forward after Zlatan. It’s a bridge that we are going to cross sooner or later and I think for that position we can expect to spend bigger than what we’ve intended to spend on Tonali (up to 38m) and Tomori (29m). Read a rumor that Milan were interested in Gabi Jesus.

Pato's business agent:

My client was waiting for an offer from his former club Milan, but the club management favored Manzukic

According to @NicoSchira Milan have offered Thauvin a 4yr deal & 3M/yr.


Also we're close to extending Calabria.

Diaz hasn't convinced me. I'm glad he's here as cover for Hakan (and the wings if needed), but he hasn't done enough to warrant a 25mil price tag. Maybe this is the reason we are looking into Otavio and he'll be next year's Diaz...

In any case, first and foremost, the best thing we can possibly do is extend Hakan's deal. We already have our starting ACM in Hakan, so instead of losing him and going back to the market to sign a replacement, the easiest (and best imo) solution is to extend his deal. Then, it becomes easier to sign his deputy. Whether we work out a deal with Madrid over Diaz or whether we sign Otavio or maybe even neither of the 2 and we end up finding a different player in the summer.....it won't matter a whole lot as we'd be set in terms of a starter anyway with Hakan.

On Belotti....25-30mil is not a bad price. I don't think he's world class or ever will be. But he's a solid and hard working player that gives his all, works for the team and has consistently scored double figures in Serie A for years now. For me it all depends on Ibra though. If he stays and Mandzukic extends...between them 2 and Leao, we're ok in the CF department. Not very forward thinking as we'd be mainly relying on a 40 and 35 yr old. I get it. But, 1 thing at a time. And with those 2 here, I don't yet see the need to spend 30mil on another striker.

Another thing to think about.....we're gonna get Laxalt and Caldara back. Wth are we gonna do with these 2. Laxalt can actually be useful as Theo's back up. But Caldara...I don't know.

Laxalt is average... at best. Should be used as a bargaining chip to get Ajer if we need depth in CB. If not then use him to get another depth player from somewhere. 

Same with Caldara. If Atalanta don't want to make him permanent then use him as a bargaining chip to get someone else. Could even do something where we use Caldara and Laxalt to get our hands on Belotti. 

According to @NicoSchira Milan have offered Thauvin a 4yr deal & 3M/yr.

Calabria has excelled this season. Been amazing

Rumour: Mirante as third choice GK.
What are the chances A.Donnarumma leaves?

[Arildonardo]

Rumour: Mirante as third choice GK.
What are the chances A.Donnarumma leaves?

Probably depends on his brother. If G leaves, then definitely A leaves too. A might leave anyway, his contract expires. Maybe he wants to have the chance to play some matches towards the end of his career.

Rumour: Mirante as third choice GK.
What are the chances A.Donnarumma leaves?

Mirante as third would be really good. 

Antonio probably will leave regardless. He should quit while ahead, if he wishes to maintain his 100% clean sheet record with Milan.

I mean Mirante would be much better than Antonio but still... not sure we need Mirante.

Mirante as third would be really good. 

Antonio probably will leave regardless. He should quit while ahead, if he wishes to maintain his 100% clean sheet record with Milan. 

I think so too. as much as it's good getting a decent payday(1m a season) surely the guy wants to play?
