The Rumour Commode XXVI: March Fourth!

It will be the best for Milan and I prefer it to happen early in the market.So Massara only proposes players? And the main SD decisions are taken by Maldini and Boban?
Is Massara's role more of a chief scout than an actual SD?
I don‘t think that‘s uncommon, bigger summs (=almost every transfer for a club like Milan) will probably involve at least 2 decision makers.

Donnarumma for 60 to PSG.
Use that 60 for Cragno and Barella from Cagliari. Combined salary will be similar to Gigio’s.
So much improvement at no cost.

On paper Giampaolo seems rather underwhelming considering what we have all had to endure over the last 6 years.
When you look closer, you'll see a high level possession based style of football that's played at high tempo. If you happen to be fan of Sarri's style, then it's highly likely Giampaolo's will impress equally. He just needs the platform to showcase his tactical identity to a greater audience. The law of averages surely falls in our favor.
It's hard to imagine Milan playing this modern style of football - embrace the revolution.

Napoli have reached an agreement with Milan target Kostas Manolas, but are not close to an agreement with Roma. Milan sporting director Massara has asked Manolas’ agents to wait before joining Napoli, but it may be too late unless Milan pay the €36m release clause. [@DiMarzio]
Ouch... on the other hand “we've agreed personal terms with Dejan Lovren” apparently
.We could have just kept Zapata in that case. Solid defenders that are prone to occasional costly blunders.

Today’s PSG situation is very different. They will need to control the outflow quite a bit thanks to the monitoring. Hard to see them spending 70+ on a goalkeeper.

Manolas and Koulibaly central defense is easily going to be the best in the world on paper. With Ancelotti, probably on field as well.
Break the deal, Ricky Massara!

I don‘t think so, there are only two GK transfers in history in that price range and Donna is not a complete GK, on high wages, has some blunders here and there and isn‘t big-game-proven. Of course there are many positive aspects to him too, especially his age, but overall 60m seem very fair.
I don‘t know if I‘d be happy with that transfer as a PSG fan.

Don't worry man, just because of few members say noone will buy him for 20m, doesn't mean its true. If Paolo wants to sell him, he will have many suitors... that's still good statistic even if he had shit 60% of the season

If there is a long term plan then Donna should be renewed & not sold.

Only at a reduced wage.
His current one is putting too much stress on him and milan budget.

Maybe it's for the best Donna goes to PSG. 60m seems low, it really is.. but he's 2 years left on contract and with Raiola they probably force him out if he really wants to leave then.
May as well take the money at this point and invest it in the team. There are plenty of other good keepers in Serie A such as Cragno, Dragowski, Lafont, Perin, etc that we can use as a replacement that won't cost 60m nor ask the salary Donna has.

The reported 6m salary request for Manolas has to be BS, no way Napoli would have an agreement for that sum.
Roma need to sell after losing their annual UCL windfall. Milan want to get the price down and offer the player better terms. A double deal with Manolas & Luca Pellegrini could be on the cards.

I'd honestly keep Samu. I think he can be transformed into a good SS under the right coach.
