I hope he stays too.
I disagree that he struggles to adapt to EU football as he did well under Rino. After Rino we have had two coaches who can’t seem to extract anything out him of him (and other players)
Let’s see what the future holds for Paqueta.

Louis Girardi - #Rangnick and #GordonSinger have already spoken through a video conference. Confirmed technical staff, market budget, purchases, disposals and renewals for some players. #Rangnick's not working for #RedBull anymore. The new #Milan is already at work.
I am pretty sure this is right as literally everything points towards this. The problem is that we will have to wait 2 months before the official announcement
Now whats the problem with "joga bonito" mentality? We seriously lack joga bonito ever since robinho left.

It's this kind of attitude for the last couple of years that brought us in this mess. We are the almighty Milan, among biggest in the world, 7 CL titles, brought many legends, blablabla, but in reality, today we are garbage and haven't played in CL for more than 5 years. New generation kids think City is a giant compared to us. Last European memory was fucking Moscow sending us home from EL group rounds. Maybe it's time to put our pride a bit aside until we're a club again that actually matters. Players choosing Schalke over us is a fact.
It's just too much from him. I like tricky players, but his unnessecary touches and holding the ball for too long is worthless. If he sticks to fast release of the ball, hard work and quick passes he may become a great player.
Well said! Rangnick likes a super fast tempo, from getting possession to taking a shot on goal within 8-10. With Paqueta those 8-10 seconds are gone just with him holding his foot on the ball.
Based on rumours this is what Ralf would try to get:
Defense: Ajer/Milenkovic, Kouassi and Dumfries
Mids: Szoboszlai and Florentino
Attack: Jovic
These 6 players + Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Theo, Bennacer, Leao, Samu and Rebic should be the core of the new Milan.
And Ralf and Moncada will probably bring 3-4 kids from France for peanuts.
All sound great to be honest except for Dumfries, who for some reason does not convince me (only youtube, though). Looks fine in attack, but kinda clumsy and I have serious doubts on his defensive qualities, but again, I have watched only youtube, so someone with actual observations may think the opposite.

I think another winger could also come. If they can get a good deal than Sabitzer would be amazing! Otherwise someone lower priced like Paulinho.
Maybe another fwd as well like Boadu or Donyell Malen. It depends on Ibra and also how well Leao does in the remaining matches.

Maybe one of these 4 kids will become a 40-50M target after 2-3 years, that's how we should do business these days

But it's shit that none of them will be here before September and new season. Zero days for summer preparation.
And we expected new coach and at least 4-5 changes in first XI.

Is this reliable information?
It doesn't make any sense. Why close window before new season and open after it starts?
Can't think of any logical explanation

Nothing official but that's the plan, we'll see. Probably because they have plan to play CL/EL games in August.
It's terrible for us because of Ralf and new players we expected to have.
Btw, fucking Duarte is injured again and will be out for over a month. What a waste of money.

Belgian media reporting that Lille OSC is close to taking over Moeskroen, a Belgian first division club. They will use it as a feeder club for some of their talents. First step towards establishing a hierarchy of clubs after the Red Bull model, given that Lille is also owned by Elliott?
Seems that Elliott care more about Lillle than Milan...lol

Elliott has no control over lille, they loaned them money and I believe they paid a big portion of it through pepe & leao transfers.
Lille president said the elliott loan does not give them control stake at lille.

Juve definitely dont have too many midfielders. They have Matuidi, Pjanic, Bentancur, Ramsey, and Rabiot. Khedira is crooked and hardly ever plays. They want to get rid of Pjanic and Rabiot which lrsbrs them with 3 midfielders.
Inter have midfielders but no one to play in front of the defence. They play Brozovic there but he sucks at it - constantly loses the ball, lack of concentration, no strength to make up for it.
I get the feeling that Tonali doesnt want Mikan or Roma (also rumoured) - I get the feeling he only wants Juventus or Inter.
6 midfielders is not many? Lets see if they manage to sell Rabiot and Pjanic first. It seems no one is stupid enough to pay what they want for them, so they tried exchange Pjanic with Arthur and Jorginho, and Rabiot with Pogba. For me it's so hard to imagine that they rely on 20 years player to lead their midfield. I saw rumours about Pogba, Arthur, Aouar, Jorginho. As for Tonali they probably see him as a player for future.
About Inter:
their midfield right now:
Brozovic, Sensi, Gagliardini,Barella,Vecino,Valero(contract expires I think),
Eriksen, Radja, Joao Mario. They'll offload most of them of course, still worth mentioning how amazing their scounting and management
More relevant, who said that Tonali is better than Brozovic in front of defense? Much likelier scenario is that Brozovic will bench him. I'm sure he will find a lot of space, but don't expect him to play every game.
I think Milan and Roma would be no less attractive destinations for him than printer and jube. But Milan and Roma can't afford to pay as much

Rube have many midfielders but in reality everyone besides Pjanić are rubbish and at least half of them will leave. And even Pjanić is kinda in meh form for a long time.
So, I can see that they'll go for Tonali.
Honestly, I can't understand crying over Tonali because I find him to be a little bit overrated.
Ralf for a reason want Florentino over him and I'll choose to believe in his decisions. If he think that he's better or just better fit for team (or combination of both), idk.
