Summer Mercato 2011

[Marsipolami]

If Barca indeed pulls out of the race (which already seems to be the case), we would be incredibly stupid to not sign Cesc for 40 million.

It's a very reasonable price considering he is young, a captain, world class and just the player we need.

Come on, we bought Nesta for 30 million when he was needed. 40 millions today might be even less than 30 mil back then.

Actually 40 mil euros now should be more than 40 mil euro in the past if we see how strong EURO now AND how we have much money in the past (compare to lately situation where we have to make tight transfer fee).

For 40 mil euro I do doubt Milan can pay it without adding player(s) in that sum. Milan could probably give only 20-25 mil euro+player(s).

Anyone can translate or at least give important information from Galliani's quote below? Thanks before.

[/quote]I think he says that in order to sign Fabregas we'd need to race with Barca which would only end up inflating the price and astronomical costs is something A.C. Milan does not want.
He goes on to say that Schweinsteiger is an icon in Bayern and he won't be signed.
I'm not sure about the Montolivo comment though.
