Huge contract bid now submitted to the player.

 

Have we really offered over £200k a week?

 

Couldn't give flying fuck. 

 

Smash the wage structure to get who we want. 

 

We're minted and means exactly nowt to me.

There's no way we're offering him more than what's being discussed for Bruno's new deal. It would also be weird to blow away whatever Isak is on.

 

Italian sources have every reason to spin this as a "he's moving for the money" type deal. I'm confident we're significantly increasing his pay but we're not going north of £200k IMO.

Vitiello just confirmed that this deal is advanced, and that Milan want more than 70m. He also says that the salary offer is "more than double" what he currently gets at Milan.


It will be a good marker for whatever Bruno may be offered in a new deal.

 

The hope would be that both will unlock the potential of the other.

 

I think we go double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 next season.

 

Who will Milan replace him with btw?

Does anyone think that the club go in for players they don't actually want (Barella) in order to walk away. Pushing an agenda that we won't pay over the odds then move onto actual players we want. Would be a Great tactic if so.

Definitely. If only to draw out from agents what they want. If Tonali’s representatives see a big deal slipping away it theoretically encourages them to come back to the table with more realistic terms.

 

Watch us sign them both ?

The cheeky lowball offer, then the classic - £10m from whatever stupid price they ask for. Then walk away if they ask for more. Classic Dan Ashworthiness. Straight out of the obscure economics hipster playbook reference.

He doesn't want to leave Milan, that much is abundantly clear throughout the reporting.

 

The kid plays with venom, even when he was with Brescia, he always had that extra... bit of being a bastard, in a good way. He's not a dirty player, not at all--but he just... fights. Even if he has a bad game, he's going to cover every blade of grass.

 

But have no illusions that he's leaving Milan because he wants to. It seems (and is being reported now in Italian sources) that it is our CEO Furlani and our owner Cardinale that are pushing him out.

 

 

How do you know he isn't happy to take this opportunity?  

 

If he's as driven professionally as he is he is on the pitch, hell want to win it all. He might well feel, having already won Serie A, that there's not much more he can do at 4th favourites for the title Milan.

 

It represents a good opportunity, potential to win something even or, probably what he's thinking, stepping stone onto the world's true elite by playing in the best league.

 

It's a hard pill to swallow, but for ambitious footballers, there's more to their career aspirations than playing for the club they support, we know all about that.
