It will most likely be a lean summer for us. We'll see what happens with the UEFA ruling as it will determine a lot in terms of strategy

I'm honestly worried about how we'll go about spending money. Mirabelli has made serious errors so far, and with Reina and Strinic coming in, I see even more errors coming in this mercato. He's obviously not fit to be a Sporting Director for a big club, especially a club that's going through the difficulties we're currently in.

Bacca had good offers from Turkey or China (good for him and good for Milan), but he insists on playing in Spain.


I kind of agree, except I believe we lost money selling Kalinic, and with Villareal's offer we are going to be losing money on Bacca as well. As I understand it, these losses will not help with the FFP situation.

That's probably why Milan is trying to squeeze a little more money out of Bacca. Kalinic was a hopeless situation (given his performance over his last year, WC in particular), so they probably were happy to get 15M out of it.

Well you can't force the player, I wouldn't want to go to either of those countries either. He wants to play in Spain, I say cut your losses and sell him to Villareal.

In the long run, we'd lose more by keeping them on the books anyway. I'd prefer to get some sort of transfer fee for them rather than having them sit on our bench and draining our resources



BREAKING: Milan going forward for Bakayoko from Chelsea trying to sign him on loan with option to buy, according to @DiMarzio

Milan are in advanced negotiations with Chelsea for midfielder Bakayoko. Milan will look to close a deal on loan with option to buy. The midfielder has not had much playing time at Chelsea. [Sky]


According to Sky Italia, Milan’s dream signing in the midfield is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. It remains a very difficult deal

Let's see, both would raise the level in our midfield significantly. Bakayoko was a complete donkey at Chelsea, but his performances in the CL with Monaco are still memorable to me. So the ability is there, probably not a good fit at Chelsea


Milinkovic seems surreal, if we sign him... Nope, not going there

[Forza Milan!]

How about England? Would you refuse to go to EPL? (link)

Haven't read anywhere else that EPL clubs want him though. Either way, we should just make the concession and seel him. He earns close to 8m gross. We can't have that kind of burden on the books for a player who will not even play this season

The article pretty much agrees with you. It suggests that even if we sell him at a loss on the books, we should do it anyway and get rid of the salary.

OTOH, it looks like Silva may be on his way out (link). If so, I wonder if we should keep Bacca.
