The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[Wild]

Is this suppose to upset me ?

 

[Kuroha]

Despite the latest rumours of a drastic change at Casa Milan, in the latest meetings between the AC Milan ownership and the management of the Rossoneri club, the future of the directors has been confirmed.

In fact, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara’s actions are not in doubt. Same can also be said for Stefano Pioli. The Rossoneri coach, barring any resounding twists and turns, will be next season’s coach. Pioli has a contract until the summer of 2025. Last year, he won a resounding Scudetto. This year Milan, against all odds, reached the Champions League semifinals. The club has judged his progress to be positive.

The club will start again with Pioli and Maldini, with the Rossoneri market team already working on the market for next year. Many market movements are planned to strengthen a team that has appeared weakened in the league this season. Should Milan qualify for the Champions League, they will have a bigger budget than last year.

Tatarusanu, Mirante, Dest, Bakayoko are the players who are sure to leave the club. As for Aster Vranckx, it is not certain that he will be redeemed. Further evaluations will be made with AC milan that could try to lower his buy-option because the Belgian central midfielder is still a youngster who could be bought at a bargain price, which fits right into RedBird’s project.

Also to be evaluated is the Ibrahimovic situation: his physical condition will be closely monitored then a decision will be made together. There are rumors of a probable “token” contract, that is, with a salary based on the Swede’s performance, but much will depend on how Ibrahimovic’s feels, both physically and mentally. Milan’s attack will be renewed: Ante Rebic and Divock Origi have not convinced, so they are on the market. Adli, on the other hand, could leave on loan, preferably to a Serie A club.

BRAHIM Diaz’s Situation:​

AC Milan has no doubts. The Rossoneri want to redeem the Spaniard and therefore are ready to pay the proposed 22 million euros. Diaz has already given his willingness to stay at AC Milan. Real Madrid are trying to rejuvenate their squad and have thought of letting Brahim return home. However, they will not oppose against his will. Right now the chances of Diaz staying at AC Milan are very high.

After the renewal of Rafael Leao, for whom the signing is expected by the end of the week, Milan will focus on the incoming market. To reinforce the midfield, Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s name is highly quoted: AC Milan will look for 2 midfielders, to improve the team’s physicality and the Englishman has all the characteristics to be a functional player for Pioli’s new project. Loftus-Cheek still has one year left on his contract with Chelsea and Il Diavolo hopes to be able to buy his card for a fee set at around 10 million euros..
Another midfield target, as revealed by the website calciomercato.com, is Kamada: The Japanese player has an expiring contract at the end of the current season and his offensive and concrete characteristics have attracted the interest of the Rossoneri scouts. Kamada has scored 16 goals this year, including three in the Champions League. For the owners, he would also represent a concrete investment for sponsors and marchendasing given his Japanese nationality. Rossoneri scouts are always paying attention to the French market: Branco van den Boomen, a Dutch midfielder from Toulouse, and Seko Fofana, former Udinese and Lens’ revelation midfielder, are two other midfielders that Milan is following for their physical/technical characteristics.

The department with the least need for retouching is definitely the defence where Milan is looking for a backup for Theo Hernandez, especially if Ballo Toure were to leave (there is slight interest on him from France and Turkey). Fabiano Parisi is one of the club’s favorite profiles, provided Empoli does not start an auction for his possible sale. The good relations between AC Milan and Empoli, thanks to recent deals which saw Krunic and Bennacer join the Rossoneri, are good and could facilitate the talks for the Italian left-back.

The likely moves in Attack:​

Stefano Pioli has confirmed, one of the primary targets for next year will be a striker. The rumors about Marko Arnautovic have not been confirmed so far: the Bologna striker is recovering from several physical problems and his advanced age could be a problem.

Aubameyang, though, was recently proposed to Milan. The Chelsea striker would like to return to the team where he started playing at the top flight, or almost, given his less than glorious Rossoneri past.

Gianluca Scamacca, on the other hand, is a profile that could be of interest, especially if West Ham decide to open up the possibility of a loan. AC Milan would not be ready to invest the amount of money for his card, so the only possible way of a transfer would be a loan.

It is very likely that the striker will still come from abroad: always from the French championship, the Rossoneri scouts have compiled some positive reports on Ikoma-Loïs Openda, Belgian striker of RC Lens, however, he too would represent an important investment. Another player the Rossoneri directors like is definitely Noah Okafor. His contract expiring next year could bring down his purchase price.

AC Milan are starting to move in the market. However, it is unlikely that the Rossoneri management will concretely advance in a negotiation if they do not know, first, the European fate for next season. The destiny of the next transfer market passes through the Champions League. A fundamental goal to plan for the future and ensure it.


TLDR: Everything starts moving once we beat Juventus.

When we make CL, have some good signings wrapped up before July 1st and Padre is confirmed by Furlani before the eyes of the world...

...I don't envy @brk mental calisthenics.

I was always accepting that Pioli will be the coach next season. Said it before, if we make the CL then there's no way they're replacing him. I have to live with it and hope he regains some humility and learns from this season.

 

[brk]

what are the odds that we get to see pioli scudetto gif's from him again?

100%.

 

[Cloren]

So Carlo deserve to keep his job & its all on Real.
Pioli is to blame for this season.
k.

Absolutely

Wanna know why?

Number of trophies in the last 2 seasons;

Ancelotti: 6
Pioli: 1

Ancelotti also won the champions league. He also made it to CL with 4 games to spare this season so the subsequent games are meaningless for him.

Bruh , you have @Qaas

It's questionable, but I prefer a ManU supporter above an Interista.

 

[Rossonero81]

Is this suppose to upset me ?

Is it working?

 

[Wild]

100%.

We will talk next season IF MM performed better with the available budget they are given.

 

[Wild]

Is it working?

Oh am boiling.

Shouldnt MM be blamed for Pioli staying at the club ?
Or again its on Pioli ?
He assigned himself , renewed himself & didnt fire himself.

 

[patosheva]

Sportiello signed for Milan according to Longo.

 

[Longbowman]

everything except milan, inter, juve is almost entirely a disgrace in the CL

Milan, Inter, Juve definitely boosts the hype and fan following but all three also have been embarrassing in Europe recently (barring this season). Most Italian clubs, big and small, have been poor for almost 2 decades.
Juve has been embarrassing since 2018. Inter and us were absent for long. When Inter got back, they had back to back group stage exits. We weren't exactly great last year in group stage.
On the other hand Atalanta reached QF in 2020, Roma had SF in 2018.
Whoever finishes top 4 has the merit and would have earned it. For instance, Atalanta and Lazio would have had better group stage performance this year than Juve as they were in better form at that time.
Lots of uncertainty around Napoli, us and Inter ahead of next season. Lazio or Roma or Atalanta might perform better than the big guns next year.

 

[patosheva]

reports saying RLC is close and we almost agreed on 13+5 mil for him.

 

[Longbowman]

I was always accepting that Pioli will be the coach next season. Said it before, if we make the CL then there's no way they're replacing him. I have to live with it and hope he regains some humility and learns from this season.

We should send him to some de-addiction centre and then make him watch his own Milan from post COVID till last year season end at least 5 times. He seems to have forgotten his own success formula.

 

[Cloren]

Scamacca
Leao - SMS - Brahim
Tonali - Loftus Cheek
Theo - Tomori - Thiaw - Kalulu
Mike
​

All of a sudden I'm feeling...positive

Brahim for Kamada pls

 

[Kmoney]

Origi inserted in a deal for a certain Italian winger in Turkey lol... You can just see it haha.



I'm going be a party pooper, I just don't buy the rumours... He's going to be expensive and 29 next spring. On what planet does this fit in with what we're trying to do?

He'd be a massive upgrade in Seria A, but I think we're boxing clever, and a lot younger this summer.

I don't want to be a spoil sport, I just don't see how it aligns with #daplan?

If the Diaz money goes toward SMS, I'm fucking extatic though lol.

Aaaaaaand, these RLC rumours, are there ANY clear indicators that we're actually interested? We'll be linked with every opportunity out there, is there any smoke on this one?

He doesn't excite to be honest...

I think we’ve penny pinched enough to be able to afford one “luxury” signing per year

We can’t just keep buying kids, we’ve reached the start of our winning window imo. All our core players have signed long term renewals.

3-4 high quality players, a good coach, and we’re the best team in Italy with an outside shot of going deep in the CL every year

I think we complete the squad this year and see what Pioli can do. If he doesn’t win the league we can get a big name coach next summer.

 

[Thenebra]

Finally not waiting for the player to be sold, for the takeover for the 4th place is secured, for the right opportuniti to arise, for gerry to finish his mcnugetts....

Surprise us with a fast and smart mercato. Mindblowing tactics i know.

 

[mrki]

Ya'all in here going 'hope Padre learned from the mistakes..."

Meanwhile Padre planning on paying 25mln for Diaz to play him at no.10 next year

 

[Wild]

Surprise us

If this is what having Padre involved in transfers looks like lol...

Oh wait , Pioli is also buying the players ?!
Pioli is also responsible for global warming.

 

[gioiuzza]

apparently Leao renewal will be announced on Friday

 

[Wild]

Diaz resta you racist hater.

I do hate racists.
But what that got to do with our argument ?

 

[tonyb]

To people wondering who would pay 10 mil for Origi..Let me remind you..
Newcastle paid 25 mil GBP for Chris Wood who was 30 at the time and in the last year of his contract..

 

[gioiuzza]

SMS, RLC, one of Scamacca/Giménez/Balogun, a young RW like Zhegrova, a backup LB...

 

[leaf]

Watch this shit and tell me with a straight (sorry @Qaas ) face that the mainstream media aren't actually LOVING this controversy



Imagine having to defend a whole league or worse a country

But this is the narrative the mainstream media loves to push. There are groups that they are actually fine with stereotyping. All men are evil. All white ppl are racist. All conservatives are Nazi's....and on and on.

Mainstream media NEEDS us to be at war with each other and so they keep instigating shit. The more you buy into the media narrative of MuH rAyCiZmZ, the more of a fuckin idiot you become

[ACM14061988]
