Bonna is being linked to Atalanta, Torino, and Benevento, it's not lie any of them are going to give him a big contract, so I struggle to see where there is disrespect.
Jack was a good servant to this club, but it's time to move on.

Nice highlight real Vulture although the one below is slightly longer and better. Based on the videos he seems very confident, athletic and aggressive with good technique and reminds of Romagnoli during his Sampdoria days (although I hope he isn't being signed as a direct replacement).
However, I have my reservations about South American CBs post TS given how badly Ely, Duarte and his fellow countryman Gomez panned out. Still, it's reassuring to know that he's bossed the Swiss league and his Europa league defensive stats are very strong. Could be a smart under the radar signing.

He joined Atalanta in January and has played a few mins in Serie A this season. If the hype is real watch Gasperini turn him into another Conti then flog him for 25m to a top Serie A club in a few years...

Not according to his agent who said this after we signed him...
"The conversation with Maldini was very important, it provided him with a complete overview of the league and club, as well as giving Pierre important advice. It is essential for young talents to have support from such experienced players, suggestions are important. Certainly his preferred position is right-back."

Also, he just turned 20 so playing as a CB in a tactical league like Serie A would be too much of a burden. Still, he can take Gabbia's spot as 5th choice CB as he'll surely get loaned out in addition to covering RB.

Jeez, Milan officialy wrote "goodbye Jack" and some of them are still insisting on story that they'll offer him new contract.

For now Gabbia is 3rd choice, with Musacchio coming back in November he becomes 4th choice, with another defender arriving then 5th.
But still Duarte is the worst.

I hate him so much. Maybe he will do better at a smaller club like Torino. But he was an absolute moron.
I'd love it for him to ruin Belotti for a season and that way we can buy him for next to nothing.

I've got some really big expectations for him. He'll explode next season or the season after next one. Zlatan guiding him will do wonders. We have a huge talent at our disposal and I cant wait for him to bloom out.

There are rumors that he wants a severance pay. He could just not manage for another year and he will collect all the money.

The Milannews.it editorial team exclusively contacted Fifa agent Lorenzo De Santis, a very active intermediary in South America, and in Argentina in particular.
What is the situation today of Augustin Jimenez's clients, who has been working with Milan for months?
"Zaracho is a class of 1998, a talent who was awarded the best player of the SUPERLIGA in the 18/19, attracting the interests of many European clubs, especially Atletico Madrid, who had also made an offer to him. Colchoneros who however had to surrender to the resistance of Racing who decided to keep him to face Libertadores. Zaracho is a very interesting player, with a very "European" style, he moves with intelligence and combines with undisputed technical skills. He is an attentive profile in the Milan environment, they likes him very much.
De Paul?
“De Paul is already a different and certainly more ready player: born in 1994, the national team of Albiceleste, he has now adapted to Serie A and also this year he has loaded his team on his shoulders. After four years in Udine he will certainly make the leap, and he too announced it in a recent interview. He is another player who, as far as I know, the Rossoneri management observes carefully, after all he is a midfielder who can be useful to many: extremely intelligent and flexible, he has technical qualities and precision in the conclusion from the distance. Despite the interest, however, there is still no open speech with Milan or in Italy in general where the player would like to go, that I know very well liked by Fiorentina di Prade. In my opinion, his price is around 25/28 million ".
What's new on Correa?
“Correa, on the contrary of Jimenez's other two assisted, on the other hand, I think it is difficult for him to move from Madrid. He is a player born in 1994, of European experience, forged by Cholo Simeone who has hardly given up on him this season. If 50 million was valued last summer and it was not even a first choice, is it so credible to think now of his transfer after a starring year? Milan certainly likes him but I think the Rossoneri will go to other profiles.
What can you tell us about Bustos?
“After thorough checks I can say that I am not aware of any 10 million proposal made by Milan for the player. The president of Talleres is creating attention on his jewel in order to receive a substantial offer over the next few days, especially in Turkey and Russia there should be clubs ready to be serious. "

Leao played with a different attitude and desire against Cagliari. I don't see how anyone could take his spot if he keeps up that attitude.
I wonder if Rebic can play on the right, and obviously he is important, especially as Leao is still young and we are unsure if he can take the jump next season. I think management is waiting on Rebic as they see what will happen next season.
However, a Milan that is back to normal should have Rebic and Leao fighting for the same position. I have, for the first time think we have a chance to actually see that Milan return.

I'd keep one on each flank with Ibra/future replacement in the center. Rebic, Leao and Ibra are three different players and that would almost be impossible to defend against. Pace, aerial ability, shots, and dribbling. A trident that has it all.

MN: Ongoing talks between the Milan management and Calhanoglu's agent, Gordon Stipic for the contract renewal.
The midfielder would earn €3M + bonuses. At the moment, there is no discussion of a release clause.

I actually don’t think centerback is an urgent need like everyone assuming. Especially if the budget is smaller this summer. Our starting pair is set and they have proven we can be competitive with those two as the base. After that, we definitely need to add a player but it doesn’t need to be an expensive one. Mussacchio will come back and gabbia is ok as well, they’re not good but they are solid for fill in games. Then Duarte and I’m assuming some other random player. Long term we definitely need to add a better centerback but for this season I wouldn’t be surprised if the management doesn’t consider it urgent. Or I could see Maldini bringing a better one in on loan but who knows.
The urgent position I think has to be midfield. Jack is gone and I think Hakan plus Paqueta is actually fine, whether you like Paq or not. But behind them we have two starters and then nothing, and Pioli said this outright. We NEED another high profile mid and really need two. Florentino for me is the most talented but I really like roca and tonali of course too. Wouldn’t be surprised if we sign one of those three and then Maldini convinces an older player to come in to rotate as well. A Biglia that doesn’t get hurt and suck as much as Biglia.
People forget Maldini and Gazidis have both admitted the experience helped the team. I don’t know why nobody is considering them looking for another Kjaer/Ibra. Probably one for the midfield.

I think the issue with bringing a leader into the midfield is that we already have two bonafide starters, so that person would have to be willing to come off the bench. I think we are more likely to continue the youth trend in the middle. Primarily we have been linked to Roca, Luis, and occasionally Tonali. I’m not sure we need what Biglia was supposed to be in midfield, Bennacer and Kessie are killing it and I hope we just bolster the midfield with talented youth.
