I doubt PSG want to sell Verratti. I'd rather go for Witsel or Gündogan.

Mediaset says now we're interested in Cavani, with Dzeko being the alternative.

I hope Galliani has some equally good objective in mind now. Don't wanna end up with Bacca and frigging Bertolacci instead.

€30 million for a 28 year old who's had just one good season in his career is a bit of madness. At least Jackson has been consistent for three years now.

Now they're saying Jackson to Atletico is almost a done deal as well.

Un-fucking-believable! We've become a joke. Everyone is laughing at us. I feel so, so embarrassed.

The window has yet to open and there are an abundance of options on the market. There could be an unnamed player we are after that has not hit the media yet.

We have lots of time. Even the bee deal is yet to happen (sometime before the market opens).

Least of our worries? You do realize that with Destro back to Roma and Pazzini leaving we basically have no strikers, right? What's the point in having a quality midfield if you don't have the capacity to finalize the supply?

We need to make signings in every area, and that includes attack.

calm down...its a transfer windows yes we need players but have a little faith. No need to get emotional over a transfer window i'm sure we will get the players we need fingers crossed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Why should they be mutually exclusive? We need both imo

It's not about missing out on these players, but it's how it happened. The multiple flights, fancy dinners, selfies, Milan Channel statements etc. In the end, it amounted to nothing but a charade, and we ended up looking like donkeys. Il Corriere was saying today how what happened yesterday has severely damaged Milan's image, and they are right. We've become the laughing stock of Europe. So, of course I'm going to get emotional about it.



Ideally, yes.

Witsel - De Jong - Gündogan

Atletico Madrid and Arsenal can push in for Jackson Martinez, but Milan won’t sign until the Porto striker has a medical.

The Rossoneri have to all intents and purposes sealed the deal, as they are prepared to pay the €35m release clause in his contract and agreed personal terms.

However, a week has gone by and still Martinez has not undergone a medical, as Milan must wait for permission from Colombia during the Copa America.

The plan was to send doctors out to their base in Chile to perform the tests there, but still require the all-clear from the Colombian Federation.

This delay has allowed Atletico Madrid – according to papers in both Spain and Portugal – and Arsenal to get back in the race for Martinez.

Milan know they can end that scenario by simply signing the contract and performing the medical later, but the Italian club has no intention of rushing things.

Jackson would become one of their biggest ever transfer signings and do not want to risk spending €35m on a player who has fitness problems.

Milan CEO Adriano Galliani reveals “it was all done” for Geoffrey Kondogbia, but they “cannot accept” the sum Inter paid Monaco.

The transfer had been seemingly secure on Friday evening, only for the midfielder to sign for the Nerazzurri on Saturday afternoon.

“At 1.30 it was all done,” Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Monaco had given us the all-clear for the sale at €40m with payment spread over two years, €20m and €20m.

“The agreement with Geoffrey had already been sorted out the night before and was confirmed that same morning by him and his father.

“After we exchanged the documentation, at 1.30pm everyone disappeared. Evidently they changed their minds or the others offered more.”

It is in fact reported that Inter have agreed to pay €40m plus performance-related bonuses, with wages that with add-ons will be close to €5m per season.

“I told (Doyen Sports representative) Nelio Lucas, in certain negotiations you have to act like a father with children. A ‘no’ is more difficult to accept than a ‘yes,’ but we cannot accept these figures.

“At times it requires more courage to get up and walk away from the table than to stay, so let’s go.”

Now Jackson Martinez is also slipping away, as Atletico Madrid are prepared to pay the €35m release clause to Porto without a medical.

“If we save €40m on Kondogbia and €35m on Jackson Martinez, we’ll have another €75m to spend wisely over the rest of the transfer window,” added Galliani.

“Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, only time will tell…”
