Torino have contacted Milan for Gabriel, in the coming days they will try to close the deal. #Sky

Montella's first choice is Paredes. New contacts today with Roma who want €20M. Milan can only offer loan with option to buy. [Sky]

Super-agent Jorge Mendes has offered Joao Moutinho to Milan, who have yet to respond. [Sky]

GdS: Juventus offered to sign De Sciglio on loan with an option to buy but Milan rejected their offer.

The budget for the next midfielder is between €6-7M and will have to be agreed with Berlusconi, the Chinese and Galliani first. [GdS]

Galliani had offered to Boca €14m + 20% of a future sale for Bentancur. Boca asked €14m + €5m bonuses + 20% of a future sale. But the Chinese said no because the price was high. For Sosa, however, they gave the go ahead. #GdS

Paredes, really? No thanks.

I'm still thinking about why we spent so much money last year. Does anyone think it is part of the Chinese deal. Or did Berlusconi want to give us a final gift before leaving?

[han2503]

Kovacic or Paredes? Who would you guys prefer?

Totally different types of players and we need a Paredes more than a Kovacic atm. That being said, I'd still jump at the chance of bringing in Kovacic.

Nah, last year had nothing to do with it. Berlu thought he was going to sell a minority share to Bee for big money (almost as much as the 100% of the shares were sold to the chines) so he pumped money into the transfer market thinking he'll recoup it. But Bee never came through and you could hear the murderous cry of Fininvest directors all across the globe

Milan have contacted PSG for midfielder Stambouli, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Jorge Mendes has proposed Moutinho to Milan on loan. Milan are evaluating the situation. [Mediaset] THIS !!!!

After the injury of Ayew (out for 4 month) West Ham are again interested in Bacca. #CorSport

If we sell Bacca for 30m then we would have 37m for a midfielder, I would go after Isco or Arda (if Barca are willing to sell him) and a defender.

[d'Arc.LP]

In the meantime Pereyra has signed signed for Watford for 15m (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[William405]

Selling Bacca would ruin the window for me. He is our "special" player.

Would have liked Pereyra. Specially for that price.

[X-Offender]

Meh, I don't think Pereyra would have been a solution.

[X-Offender]

So, we have spent circa €25 million this far, on 4 very questionable players (Vangioni, Gomez, Sosa, Lapadulla). Wouldn't it have been better if we had simply added an extra €5 million and just signed a quality midfielder instead? Cos, honestly, we're in no way better off than we were last season. That is absolute.

[Rossoneri7]

@will .. I think selling Bacca opens up other operating ties for us. Sure he is a star in this team but so was Kaka and so was Sheva .. no hard feelings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe we have to take it baby steps, if a sale does happen the money will be funneled back into the market to get the player Montela needs.

Yeah, it's the typical Galliani market of late, except worse. Not surprised, though, given the situation. I don't expect much to change until the transfer of ownership is complete. Need to be patient (well, that's what I keep telling myself).

Nah, Bacca is no special player, he's a limited striker imo and Adriano could do what he does under the right conditions. If an opportunity presents itself to get 30m for him we need to jump on it and re-invest that in a quality midfielder

We're too top heavy atm anyway, 3 strikers + Niang all vying for one spot. While our midfield might be too over-crowded as well, none of the players we have will make much of any difference. Poli and Marui imo should both go, the former sold and the latter loaned. Same goes for Honda.

Yep, typical Galliani really. Only players who I think could surprise use are Sosa and Gomez. Lapadula was a waste of 10m which should have gone into the midfield.

All we have to do though is pray that we can keep pace until January and not be completely out of it by then because that's when the new owners and management will come in and there's a clearance of the current higher ups.

As I'm sure everyone noticed Galliani has been totally silent this summer, I'm sure that's because he's been muzzled and been given very little leeway. It's why we haven't seen the typical business between us and Genoa. All I ask of him is to pull one last string with his buddy Perez and bring us Kovacic

Yep, plus I wouldn't call Bacca a star. He's in no way a marketable player like Kaka or Sheva were. The fact that Adidas centre our marketing campaign around Bonaventura, Monto and Antonelli shows how much we lack a truly marketable player these days where in the past we always had someone, even if that was SES or Balo in recent years

I think there will be signicant changes come November. I honestly can't wait.

[d'Arc.LP]

Montella wants a midfielder, the hottest name is Benjamin Stambouli, PSG would accept to deal for a loan with option to buy. A formula that doesn't convince Real Madrid for Kovacic but Galliani will try again. Montella would also like a center-back, but it's unlikely that Milan will make any more signings. #GdS

[X-Offender]

Hm, would there even be a point in signing Kovacic? He'd most definitely be coming on loan without right of purchase. I'd rather sign soneone who will stay with us for good. Anyone seen this Stambouli guy play?

MIRROR: "Sunderland will offer around 10 milion for the Japanese. Now Honda will decide what he will do."

I would like this move to happen. 10 million for Honda is more than enough considering his form in recent months.
