Sources from Russia saying Witsel will be staying
Mastour to Malaga 2 year loan with option to buy for 5m (!!!!!!!!) is a done deal as well apparently. (How stupid can Galliani get?? I thought they were trying to avoid Darmian type situations, not perpetuate them themselves!

Just when I thought that it cant get any worse. A decade ago we were a team that invested in players like Mastour now we sell. If they gave us 15-20m for him I would understand, but 5m ?! We are offering double of that for Soriano. SMH.

Some good news, and contradictory to the report above
Witsel very very close to Milan. Determining the will of the player, probably announcement in the evening. [Alex Scurosu @ Fininvest]
Zaccardo will accept Carpi. Milan will pay 2/3 of the salary. [CorSport]

We'll see, I'm still very cautious about getting my hopes up
Apparently the deal for Mastour is as I posted above, however, Milan have to accept before the clause is activated. Therefore we can still bring him back after the loan is up if we think he's done well enough there to be brought back
I thought that that was too stupid to be true, but with the level of sheer stupidity displayed by Galliani over this last decade I was more than inclined to believe it

Milan Channel updates:
Matri - Negotiations underway for loan to Lazio.
Zaccardo - Negotiations underway for definitive "sale" to Carpi.
Mastour - Two-year loan to Malaga.
Witsel - Negotiations blocked. We're offering a loan with right of purchase, Zenit want obligation of purchase.
AAAARGH! F*ck this sh*t! Zenit are finally willing to sell this guy at a reasonable price and reasonable conditions, yet we're acting like stuck up bitches! Spending 20M on a loser like Bertolacci was no problem, but signing a top player like Witsel suddenly becomes a question mark.

See, that's the problem. It allows Galliani an opportunity to prove that he he is some king of a transfer "guru" by bringing him for a good price. Otherwise, the loser has now second thoughts splashing cash where he wants, or revoking the buyout clauses for certain players.
han2503

All this apparently because we want an option to buy while Zenit are insisting on an obligation.
If we lose Witsel over this Galliani's head should roll. Enough is enough!

Is there even enough time left for the Witsel thing to happen? Galliani is probably dragging the sh!t out of this so he can say that he tried his best but there wasn't enough time to complete the deal.
At what time does the window close in Italy?

The most low I've felt as a Milan fan these past years, one of the most lows.

Good thing the Montolivo thing worked out well for us, and we have a great player starting for us as captain, leading from the front and marshaling the midfield while Aquilani failed horribly at Fiorentina, even though they made him their captain.
Cheap outs, despicable cheap outs!

Nah, he seems to be on a bit of an agenda here, trying to wreck this club to the ground.

Lamela, Hernanes and Witsel, we needed all three, not the players we got instead. And apparently are not getting in the form of Witsel. It's not like a mega transfer, a difficult deal that needed to happen on the last day.
The club is willing to give him to us, the player too. It's the coins that are causing the issues, eh?
