Reports Maldini and Massara have signed extensions till 2024.

Then no signing done yet.

Then Milan miss out on Botman as he heads to Newcastle for medical.

Then Maldini and Massara signing imminent.

Then PSG enter the picture to sign Sanchez.

Then Sanchez only want Milan.

Then minority shareholder skyblue or whatever files lawsuit against Elliott for disclosing info on Milan without their consent to Redbird. Stalling takeover.

Then Sanchez wants PSG and not Milan.

Then Maldini and Massara leave headquarters of Milan without signing.

Then Gazidis comes back to Milan headquarters after taking a leave which started after Milan won Scudetto.




I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Paolo and Massara signed renewals with Milan.

Official communication expected today.

Scaroni stated that the change of ownership is the reason for the delays. He indicated that he is not worried about Maldini and Massara renewals. He also mentioned Gazidis will continue at least till his contract is up in November.

Di Marzio concurs that Redbird is the main reason for the delays. However is confident Maldini and Massara will remain, once their ccontracts are signed the transfer activity will speed up. He further goes on to mention an alternative to Sanchez, Enzo Fernandez of River Plate. Maldini/Massara prefer Sanches, however if PSG are persistent they will move to plan B and C. With regards to Enzo, Benfica and Wolverhampton have already bid for the player, but he is waiting for Milan as his priority.


What I can gather here is that the club has plan A, B and C. If one doesn't work they already identified another a while ago. Hence it is not a 'scrapping from the bottom of the barrel' or scavenging for a stop gap.


This is elevating news.

Bennacer is an essential element to the team.

Being offensive both in fullbacks and the attacking trident, Milan need a Bennacer type tracking opposition, killing counters and restarting plays. Yes he had been injured and whatnot, but that is part and parcel to an athletes life.

It is imperative that these reports are rebuffed by offering him assurances he will retain a starting role.


Also, wheres that Adli kid gonna fit in and is Milan bringing back Pobega? Think with the Sanchez like and those two, its gonna be a tussle for Bennacer to receive such assurances.

Latest updates:

- Bennasser is unhappy at loosing his starting position at Milan and United are preparing a second offer to sign him.

- Maldini and Massara renewals are in danger due to Gazidies given wider authority on behalf of new owners. Negotiations with the pair of directors are very difficult.

- Leao is close to signing a contract till 2026 worth 6M.

- Botman is keeping his stance firm in rejecting Newcastles offer to him. He will only listen to Milan.


Of course news reports change from day to the next, hope all is cleared with Maldini and Massara. I see these two as the true heroes of Milan?s success. It would be sad if Milan dont renew Maldini, the house of cards could crumble, as he keeps the lantern shinning to be inherited to next generation of legends.

Also something very important to take note of ? Milan closes its financial year on June 30.

So taking into account the prize money and CL participation money, it will be a positive year end for Milan.

Transfers could very well happen after June 30th so as to present Uefa with a fortress balancesheet depicting positive cashflow and a profit, but tainted by outflows for signings could very well be the reason only Origi is most likely to sign before July 1st. All other targets could be closed post that date.

Milan?s transfer affairs will start after Origi is signed, medical is imminent.

I would think Milan have firmed up their squeeze on both Sanchez and that De Ketelaere kid.

Botman will end up at Newcastle, so a search for a defender should not be Milan priority. The priority should be RW, Asensio or Lang or Faivre.

If a decent CB comes in as a backup, then it would be a job well done.


@han to measure Milan against inter is not healthy at this moment. They have to weaken other areas of the pitch. La Joya is not decisive nor is he a player to depend on. Lukaku will be a decisive impact upfront. Otherwise, inter would be weakened all over.

Milan on the other hand will be strengthened. Redbird?s chairman had confirmed they want Milan back and competing for more silverware. While Elliott stated their decision to go with Redbird is primarily driven by the desire to continue acting in a sustainable manner. If you translate that into words, it means Milan wont be entering into bidding wars and Milan wont be derailed from its project of bringing in fresh new talent with huge upside. Of course an experienced player here and there, the ones that make the difference as leaders and add value and experience. It is a brighter future indeed.

Looks like both Botman and Bremen will not be destined for Serie A this summer.

Milan should keep faith in Kalulu and Kajaer ? sign a decent back up for the pair, and focus the funds on other aspects of the pitch.

New season, B&G are back with Monza.

Milan is expected to be back with considerable reinforcements.

Lets hope for a back to back Scudetto.

Sanches is a done deal.

Botman is a little complicated as EPL teams Newcastle, Spurs and United had placed bids higher than that of Milan, while the player himself is pushing for Milan only.

Origi, apparently will sign beginning of July when his contract is expired.

Am i missing something else?

Looks like the new owner of Milan has given Maldini a war chest. Elliott stated that they chose Redbird for their business acumen, in that Milan will continue to be managed in a sustainable manner. I.e. no over the top buys and to live within Milan?s salary cap.

The warchest would most likely be coming from newly injected capital and sponsorship deals. The visibility Redbird have in marketing would bring in better sponsorship deals.

I am excited for what is to come now. As at first i was skeptical when Maldini said those comments.

Milan are linked with a lot of interesting names, but I hope for a stellar signing. An Ibrahimovic type of player with more fuel in the tank.

Red Bird signed a preliminary agreement.

Their chairman is expected to meet with Maldini to define the transfer strategy.

The takeover is expected to stretch over the course of one to two months. However it is a good sign that he is taking the initiative to get the club ready for the new season.

Think this interview is a precursor of Maldini?s contract expiring at the end of June without a renewal.

I believe Leao is one of the first to be sold if the club is to remain within FFP guidelines and reinvest in other areas of the team.

A lot of moving parts whether the club is sold this summer or not. But most likely it would be sold, and the new ownership will be faced with fury if they do not renew with Maldini and Massara. A new project/strategy has to be drafted for the next 3/5 years.

P.S. Savor this Scudetto guys, could be the last Milan celebrate in a while if conditions do not improve.

In the twilight years of Zidanine Zidan?s career, his presence in the middle of the park was fundamental for France?s success in the WC.

In the twilight years of Zlatan Ibrahimovic?s career, his presence in the dressing room & bench helped the team go the extra mile.

I see similarities in both players for what they give to spur on their teams. Zlatan proved his worth, he was worth every cent. He converted a team that at most would have been EL material to Italian champions and a back to back showing in CL.

I am pro Ibra?s extension at Milan.


With regards to potential transfers. I believe aside from the usual suspects Origi, Botman and Sanches ? a RW is fundamental. Doesn?t Origi play was an RW as well? Could be a solution with Rebic/Giroud/Zlatan player their same roles.


Whatever is decided at the end of the day by the management. An RW, a Kessie & Romagnoli replacements have already been lined up.



I would like to see Samuel, Balo Tore and Messias let go ? bring in a mixed of experience in their place to allow the team to make at least a QF showing in the CL.

I would also hope the team can secure a back to back Scudetto. Beating Cala (not inter) once again. However Milan should be weary of Juve and Napoli as both these teams will be thereabouts. But inter, man! Of all the rivalry between them and Milan, the one I loath the most is Cala! I hope his most successful trophy is limited to the Cuppa. I can not stand him! I mean when Pirlo left Milan i did not feel such hatred towards a player as i do towards him. Not because he is a good player that left for free, but the gestures in the derby, the comments he made at the start of the season. What a waste Milan took him in and he repays Milan with utter disgrace!

You never know, 120M is tempting.

Wouldn?t bet against his sale, Chelsea, City, PSG, Madrid, Barca, Atletico, and the list goes on and on.

Dont get me wrong, I hope he stays. Just being realistic here.

If Madrid go for Salah, Liverpool will go for Leao.

Point here is, at a valuation of 120M Milan, inter, juve, roma, et al will be listening to the market.

Winning the Scudetto does not necessarily mean the players are untouchable.

Ofcourse if Leao does leave, there will be a competent replacement lined up to fill in.

If he does extend and stay, it will be for something comparable to what Madrid or Liverpool or City or Barca would offer. Above Milan?s ability. Take over or no take over.

Milan could be tempted by Madrid if the offer is true to purchase Leao?s contract.

It would be difficult to keep him now that his contract is running down and his wage demands on an improved contract could be a stumbling block to tie him down.

I would say there is a greater chance of him leaving than Milan renewing. Given that Madrid lost out on both targets Haaland and Mbappe.

Calhanoglu?s instagram account had been trolled the most since Milan?s win last night. Topped it off with Zlatan asking the fans as the bus went around town if they had a message for Hakan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

I swear I am elated by the Scudetto, not because the team actually won it. But because Milan beat Hakan to it, I am 10X happier like this

Go on his instagram account, he is being trolled every second.

Highly recommend him to delete the app (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thats all folks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Is the stadium taken over by red and black?
