AC Hours not Days.

Saw contract of 1.5 to 1.8 million per season which is very reasonable considering what we're paying for Chuck, Florenzi, and others. I really hope he does well with us and want to remind people that he's still only 23 and hopefully will work hard to make himself better.

Tonali sucked in his frst season, was instrumental for us winning the scudetto in his second, and average in his third. Now at 25 has exploded at Newcastle, becomimg a fan favorite.

Now imagine we bring back Sandro after his contract ends in 2028.
We'd have 2/3rds of Italy NTs starting midfield.
Just.... 3 years away....

Not to mention Modric mentoring him for the next 2 seasons.

No sammyboy, Pato is not the last 18 year old striker to consistently play for a top club
Mbappe at Monaco was more recent

Tbf bappe was a winger

Falcao was the striker in that side

Pretty sure he was, when Nesta got injured or somebody else. And also some season in banter era.
We had a lot of crappy CBs over the years. Gabriel Paletta for example was starter.

Which indicates he wasn't a starter 🤔

If you want to do some quality Theo trolling you need to pick one story -

1. He is so shit that only tier 3 clubs like Atletico Madrid are interested.

Only the mighty como and hilal made an offer for this great lb

or

2. He is such a scumbag that he won't accept Al Hilal bid, walking for free in 2026 and leaving Milan with nothing.

:proud:

Meh...as long as he leaves my club I couldn't care less. Just dont want him here going into next season

In case you want to read the whole thing:

Tare greets the journalists present.

“I’ve been at Milan for two weeks now. I want to thank the entire club for the warm welcome – they made me feel like an integral part of the group right from the start. That’s been fundamental for me to begin this journey with drive and determination. I’m joining a club with such a glorious history, and that brings a huge sense of responsibility – to give my all and contribute to bringing Milan back to where it belongs: at the top of Italian and European football.”



Where do you feel you’re at, and what kind of team will Milan be at the end of the transfer window?

“I’ve had a chance to look closely at the issues from last season, but I don’t like to dwell on the past. I only want to learn from those mistakes and ensure they don’t happen again. In this first phase of the market, we’ve focused on evaluating departures and identifying potential arrivals. We’ve held many meetings with the staff, with Zlatan, Moncada, and Allegri. We’ve met several times, and I believe I have a clear vision: it won’t be a revolution, but rather a targeted reinforcement of specific roles to make us competitive again. We’ll also have more time to work during the week next season, which will help lay the foundation for the long-term project.”



What was missing last season? Will Modrić arrive?

“We’ve analyzed it, and one key issue was the lack of clear leadership within the squad. I may not know all the internal dynamics yet, but I believe the signing of Modrić would directly address that. He’s a globally recognized figure in football. I spoke with him personally, and I saw a player who still has great hunger to compete. His arrival would be essential to provide a point of reference for a team that needs players like him. And he won’t be the only one – we’ll bring in one or two other experienced players to guide our promising young talents.”



What do you think of Xhaka and Jashari?

“The midfield is the area where we’ll intervene the most – that’s been clear in our talks with the coach. The names you mentioned are quality alternatives, but ultimately, we’ll choose based on what this team truly needs. We feel it’s important to increase the overall quality of play.”



What’s the situation with Theo Hernandez?

“Everyone knows Theo’s quality – he’s given a lot to this club. Evaluations always start with the player’s own wishes. He’s expressed a desire for a new challenge, and we accepted that as part of football. With my arrival and a new coach, we’re building a different team. His departure isn’t finalized yet – we’re working on it. I understand the urgency for news, but things change by the minute in this business. It’s ongoing, but nothing is closed yet.”



Furlani said it won’t be a revolution, but Reijnders and Theo could leave, and there’s talk about Maignan… Will Maignan stay?

“Maignan is not leaving – he’ll be with Milan next season. There was some interest from a Premier League club, but no agreement was reached. We view Maignan as a key figure both on and off the pitch. We’ve decided to stick with him and move forward together. Of course, the market is unpredictable, but as of now, he remains a cornerstone of this team.”



What’s the mood among the veterans?

“Looking at examples from other clubs who bounced back quickly after tough seasons, I believe the same can happen with Milan.”



What’s the situation in attack? Is Gimenez the main striker? Are players like Kean or Vlahović possible?

“We might act on the wings if there are departures. Regarding the striker role, we’re looking to bring in another player to compete with Gimenez. I rate him highly, but he’s still adapting from a very different Dutch league. We trust him, but we also need another forward – someone with the traits of a true center-forward who makes a difference in the box. That’s what we’ve lacked since Giroud’s departure.”



What’s the future of Leão? Any offers? Is he untouchable?

“Leão is a true champion. Very few players today can decide games on their own. He’s fundamental to both our team and project. Both I and the coach had serious conversations with him – and I was pleasantly surprised. He’s a competitive guy and was mainly concerned about how we’ll strengthen the team. For us, he’s a key part of the project. He still hasn’t shown his full potential. As for offers, we haven’t received any – it’s all just market rumors.”



Can Allegri and Milan bring out the best in Musah?

“Musah is a very good player, but we’re looking for midfielders who fit our new tactical setup. We’re planning for a three-man midfield with a deeper-lying playmaker – Musah doesn’t have those traits. He’s better suited to other roles. That’s why we’re going in a different direction. We’ll add another midfielder and a striker. Also, we plan to sign a right-back and a left-back. Depending on sales, we’ll look at wingers and central defenders too. Same for attacking wide players.”



How did you manage to sign Massimiliano Allegri?

“When I arrived, it was immediately clear we needed to act quickly. From our first talk, I sensed how much Allegri cared about this club. He had a deep understanding of the squad’s issues. Giorgio and I flew to Lugano and had a long meeting with Max – within 48 hours, he made his decision and joined our project.”



What kind of Milan do you envision in terms of identity and attitude?

“It’s not just about formation – it’s about how the team plays. We discussed this at length with Allegri. We want a compact team that dominates matches, with players who are excellent on the ball. One reason we’re focusing on midfield is because signings like Modrić or a strong deep-lying midfielder will raise our technical level significantly. We want to be protagonists from day one – this league can bring great satisfaction.”



With Allegri, is the second star (20th Scudetto) the goal?

“The club’s history speaks for itself. At Milan, the goal is always to build a team that competes for trophies. It’s an honor to work here, and together with the coach, we’ll give our all to achieve that goal.”



What’s the plan for Francesco Camarda?

“Just yesterday, we discussed the future of our young talents, including Camarda. We’ve decided to loan him out, and we’ve finalized an agreement with Lecce for a one-year loan. The hope is that he returns ready to be a part of our future.”



How did you handle the waiting period before joining Milan? Any message to the fans who protested?

“Waiting is part of this job. When it comes to a club this important, decisions must be made carefully. Joining the club I supported as a child is a dream come true – it gives me even more motivation to succeed. I’ve dealt with protests in the past – they’re part of the job. For us, it’s just added responsibility. From big defeats come great victories. Look at Napoli – we must learn from past mistakes and aim to be competitive right away.”



Do you have a specific profile in mind for full-backs? Does Zinchenko appeal to you?

“Yes, we have a clear profile. We want young players with great potential who fit our system. These are things we’ve studied with the coach. We’re clear on what we want, and in the next two or three weeks, we’ll move forward on these deals.”



Is Pulisic staying? Any renewal plans?

“He’ll be a key player for next season. We’ll address the renewal with Giorgio at the right time – right now, our focus is on the squad. He was one of the most positive players last season and will be one of our pillars moving forward.”



How do you replace someone like Reijnders?

“Comparisons are hard, but I believe Milan has a player like Loftus-Cheek – one of the most complete midfielders in Europe. He can be vital next season. We need to manage injuries better, but his value isn’t in question. We may also add a new midfielder with different characteristics, especially as we shift to a three-man midfield that can adapt during games.”



Will the striker competing with Gimenez need Serie A experience?

“We’re evaluating both domestic and international options. It’s about finding the right characteristics. We need someone completely different from Gimenez – he’s not a classic No. 9 like Giroud. We need to pair these styles effectively.”



What emotions did you feel joining Milan?

“I care a lot about a sense of belonging and want to pass that on to the team. Representing this club in the best way possible – on and off the field – is key. We must get back to our roots and have players who identify with these colors.”



What did Modrić ask you?

“The first thing he asked was if we were building a team capable of winning the league. He’s a champion coming from Real Madrid with seven Champions League titles. He wants to be a key figure, and his mentality, leadership, and personality will be crucial. This could be a big season for him too, especially with the World Cup ahead.”



Did Allegri ask for anything specific?

“We speak daily – sometimes 4–5 times a day. He knows everything we’re doing. We’ve only discussed characteristics and opportunities that arise every day. He’s very clear about his system: certain roles come first, and then the rest will follow as the market progresses.”


Thank you for this

Seems like after many years we have someone in place who might be able to construct a decent squad. The fact we're linked with so many mids sounds promising.

Who said we don't need Gimenez?

And Origi, seriously? I see you guys are still desperate to somehow make the most epic transfer fail of the last few years look less worse than it was. Just fucking own it for once.

Comparing soldado de Christo to a guy who is m.i.a is laughable.

Don't tell me Tare sign Xhaka just to lure Jashari here
Probably Tare saw an opportunity. Let's hope these deals happen. Xhaka leadership is needed in this pussy mentality team. In that photo of Jashari and Xhaka together, Xhaka has praised Jashari as great upcoming talent. If Xhaka and Jashari come to Milan, it will benefit mostly Jashari ,because of big respect that he have for Xhaka. Jashari said that he would love if he could replicate Xhaka career for Swiss national team.
