Leao should be 120-130m at least, he is worth much more than Reijnders.
madness

according to stats he's not even our third best player in a season where we ended 8th

how much should Lookman have been worth after his hat-trick in the EL final and UCL qualification?

800M?

Lots of shit to sell. Pavlovic, Tomori, Maignan, Chukweezy, RLC... But we choose to sell Reijnders.

Modric experience is welcome but I hope Tonali return follows it or else selling Reijnders was a bitch slap after the season we just had. The only confidence I have is that at least we signed Allegri. Even with a shit box of a team he'll at least get CL qualification, and bore us to death.

Lovely!

We need a lot more fodder to leave even for these 3-8mil sums.

So much deadwood and I’d rather have people like bartesaghi and zeroli and other kids from our youth “make up the numbers” especially in a non Europe year.

Also I’d keep Adil and Salad on board.. they are decent players certainly better than our trash Backups at the moment .. and on top of that they have a lot of passion for the club and we have been missing these kind of passionate players this season!

Honestly I’m ok with calabria back too in a backup role - loves the club and is certainly good enough to be a back up right back and great for lists. We should offload Emerson instead who’d fetch 10mil atleast

Worst choke is not going down the record book, but biggest loss and most defeats? Now that is something they will have to live with for at least 100 years
Idk bro… to most neutral fans 2005 is the best final ever

Liverpool was levels below Milan

What exactly is our system

What do we follow
What does our youth team utilize?
Futuro etc

There needs to be a system in place

Barca has one. City has one. Bayern has one etc.

System players can be easily integrated into the first team if we actually had one in the first place

I wonder if they’re thinking of making an attempt at Victor Osimhen. If you’re going to sell all these pivotal players you have to bring in some pivotal players. There is no chance at top 4 if they don’t. It would be forfeiting the only goal this management seems to have before the season even began.

Kaka and sheva were here for 7 seasons?
No one is regarding TS as a bandiera.
Ibra, as I said, would be more considered since he has the Milan spirit, and was an advocate of the club.

Zambrotta is a bandiera even tho he came in at age 33.

What has tonali done or said to warrant being a Milan legend?
I dont think Tonali is a legend, yet.
But he definitely could be one.

Zambrotta?
With all due respect.
I regards Tonali more than him.

Though we lost a player I really did love, I feel strangely optimistic for this summer's mercato and upcoming season.
A full summer of focus on one REAL coach, real tactics... Players who no longer fit being sold off (if they accept to leave, that is).
Yes, we signed a 39yr old legend, but he still "it" for the most part, and he KNOWS how to win

I don't know. I wouldn't bet on us winning the league (I probably will), but I feel like an enjoyable season awaits

Funny enough, re: Ricci

On the same day MilanNews (Antonio) and another paper states Milan's interest in Ricci is dead, DiMarzio and Romano both come out hours later and confirm the strong interest of Milan in the player, and that with Tare the "timing" of the deal may have changed, but everything remains concrete on the player.

Use this summer as an opportunity to build a new Italian core. Rotation of the roster during the season would be minimal, since there will be less games.

I would be thrilled going into the season with this (not necessarily as the presumed starters every game):

Donnarumma
X-Gabbia-X-Cambiaso
Ricci-Rovella-X
Orsolini-X-X

Next summer they can go after Calafiori and Tonali, hopefully with the pull of being back in the Champions League.

To complement the Italian core they would have the prospects of Camarda, Bartesaghi, Zeroli, Liberali. Add Leoni to that group.

I’m not saying that Milan will be successful in the CL with these players as starters, but that could be the group the carries the culture, the continuity and the passion that’s been lacking for many years. Players who are also bound to permanent fixtures in the Italian national team for years to come.

I think that the only time they should look abroad is when they have a chance to add either Star players that elevates the starting-11, or wonderkids bound to reach stardom.

Just saw Burnemouth is interested in Lucumi and is offering 15m for him, where apparently asking price is 22. Why are we not on this? Lucumi was one of the best CBs in the league this past season. Guy's a beast. I'd love to have him or Hien to pair up with Pavlovic. Buy Leoni as well.
Pavlovic, Lucumi/Hien, Leoni, Gabbia as CBs is more than good enough.
Thiaw is 2x better then Pavlovic. Pavlovic is basicly a tree defending.

Orsolini Lucca/scammaca chiesa

I excluded Moise kean and Udogie
Cause they just don’t seem to meet the cultural fit requirements

This would be @Merosso ‘s dream team without star Italian players I feel

What do you think buddy?

This one looks good no?
We win serie a?

There tactical issues but those don't make you nosedive from 2nd to 9th. I think fundamentally there is a culture issue. It was always a red flag to me about how this team need a baby sitter in Ibra on the field and now on top of that they've added a collection of mercenaries. The constant coaching mishaps add to it

I feel like it's part of the reason they are going after Italians now. Instead of having players like RLC, Emerson Royal, etc. who are here for the paycheck and to enjoy Milan, they want young Italians with roots who will fight beyond their salary/cost

I want to see a full culture blow up w/e form that takes
You mean RLC, Emerson, etc aren't any better than cheaper Italian youngsters?

Careful now with that sort of hate speech...

I don't get why Pavlovic gets so much hate.
It is true that he makes mistakes (who doesn't), but he is still young for a defender.
He is very tall and despite that he is not slow, but on the contrary he is quite fast when he gets going.
Sometimes he looks clumsy (again cuz of his height and long legs), but he is actually VERY good with the ball on his feet and when he goes forwards he is a threat for the opponent.
And lastly, but for me still very important - the guy is not holding back and every match gives his all energy.
I would give him a whole season as a starter under new coach/system before making the final decision if he is good enough for us or no.
Maybe the bar is not high, but for me the characteristics that he has, makes him our best defender atm.

Juventus announces that it has exercised the option right for the definitive acquisition of the rights to the sporting performances of the player Pierre Kalulu from AC Milan, for € 14.3 million, payable in three financial years, in addition to additional charges of € 0.3 million.
Bonuses of no more than € 3 million are also envisaged, upon reaching certain sporting objectives.
Juventus has signed a sporting performance contract with the same player until 30 June 2029.

With these money and Reijnders money our books go from -25 to +30

I know people laugh at the "balance sheet scudetto" stuff, but thanks to this, we are now OFF THE HOOK 100% with the settlement agreement we made with UEFA effective immediately.

I truly hope this means a solid market in which we sign good players to fit allegri's specific system. Getting back into the CL is clear objective #1, and if the scudetto is possible, then so be it... The league isn't good enough that we can't be contenders...

But objective 1, play good ball and secure CL as early as possible.
