But how does it make any sense to lose a player that is easily worth 50-60m for 2m more in wages?? Just does not compute.

Even a brain dead idiot would still say that we should renew for what he wants and if we don't have the resources to keep up with those wages, move him on to an EPL side for top $$$

Just makes absolutely no business sense to let valuable players run down their contracts.

We'll have to wait and see what happens with Kessie and Romagnoli. So far we have only Dollarumma and Capanoglu as examples.

For the first, it was impossible to grant him that salary and then find a suitable buyer when he had such a hard time finding a team as a free agent. Nobody was looking for a GK and even PSG who signed him are currently benching him. And let's not forget Raiola and all the f*cking terms and clauses he would have likely demanded to be inserted in the new contract.

Whereas for Capanoglu, I think something more could have been done. We could have granted him that 5M salary and then put him on the market, I agree. We could have easily gotten around 20M from his sale. I think Maldini mismanaged that situation, and he knows it.

Bakayoko seems like a done deal.

Di Marzio seems confident

It will be a relief not having to rely on Krunic there

We're being linked to Corona of Porto. Anyone know anything about him?

I'm sure Pioli will find ways to play him even with Bakayoko's arrival.



He's a right midfielder, similar to Florenzi in that can also play as RB or RW. No idea why we're being linked with him. Besides, he's become e regular bench warmer at Porto. Are we getting Porto's rejects now? Well, we were also linked with a Serie B 30-year-old, so nothing surprises me anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I wish we could buy Damsgaard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

With regards to Kessie's renewal:

Milan's latest offer was an ascending salary scheme, as follows:
2021/2022: EUR5.5M + Bonuses
2022/2023: EUR5.5M + Bonuses
2023/2024: EUR6.0M + Bonuses
2024/2025: EUR6.5M + Bonuses
2025/2026: EUR6.5M + Bonuses


Kessie's agent was also contacted by Tottenham's sporting director who tabled an offer of equivalent to EUR8M salary with a high commission for the agent to sign the player next summer on a free transfer. Yet Kessie favours staying in Milan, if a deal is reached.

New rumors on silva woth 2 year loan amd obligation to buy. Still believe quite unlikely but let see maybe there is some discussions it seems

In all honesty, Kessie is really asking way too much. He's on 2.2M FFS! Yes, he's had an excellent season, but that doesn't mean you can suddenly triple your salary just because of one good season.

Let's not forget that only a couple of years ago most fans couldn't stand him. He was sluggish, incompetent, plain bad. Yet as a club we stuck by him and now that things are looking good he's being unreasonable.

It was the same with Capanoglu, although his form last season was in decline.

Anyway, players are just mercenaries. Let's not think that Kessie will make a choice of heart cos we all know they all go after the $$$.

Isn't that from 2 days ago?

Might be same news again being rephrased

Some unreliable Turkish journalist claiming we have a deal. Definitely BS.

Yep but the rumor keeps on appearing. Maybe there might be something...

Kessie is asking for too much IMO. He's good but he want's to triple his salary. That's excessive.

This jesus corona is 28 and stats wise not great stats wise. Don't know why we are looking to sign him.

From what I can infer, Bernardo has been "offered" to us by Mendes, because he wants to leave City and because City need to cash-in some money. But I don't think we can afford neither his salary, nor City's demands.

Hence Maldini's statement that "I am open to many solutions, but we must do what is sustainable".



Maybe we aren't. Be aware that many, many names are just media inventions or players being offered to us.
