RE: Summer Mercato - Gio-mania - 07-07-2014

So we're still going in hard for Iturbe, looking to satisfy Verona's 30 mln request: 17 now, 10 in installments and 3 in bonuses.

On the same front it looks like Verona are interested in Zaccardo.

At the same time we are "officially" working on Plan B, i.e. Cerci. Asking price is reportedly € 20 mln.

News on the Genoa front is that we have two options for Vrsaljko; either to loan him with option to buy at 7-8 mln or to buy him today for 5 mln. Matri would also be loaned, in the opposite direction. Only problem is his loan, which we'd have to pay half of, but we'd then be "entitled" to a discount on Vrsaljko. Perin's name also popped up, but for next summer.

And then there's music to my ears, with 4 MLS clubs interested in Robinho. Aside from Orlando SC, we have LA Galaxy, Chicago Fire and New England Revolution.

A couple of updates on the Cerci rumour...

We've apparently offered 15m, Torino want 20:

Niang could be included as part of the deal:

In other news, stadium plans are looking to happen. Apparently we will go for the recently rumoured Expo area, the cost will be 200 - 250m and a partner could be brought in to fund the stadium and they would get naming rights:

Tuttosport has written an article on what Inzaghi wants to do at Milan:

http://www.milannews.it/primo-piano/tuttosport-la-rivoluzione-di-inzaghi-dieta-dna-rossonero-qualita-e-el-shaarawy-149221

Some brief points:

- He plans to restart with a core group of Italians to try and bring back the club DNA. Essentially, he will focus on players having the same mentality and understanding the importance of the shirt that some past stars have had (notably Maldini, Costacurta and many of Inzaghi's teammates in Ancelotti's side).
- Inzaghi wants a young dynamic Milan that's got a lot of technical quality. Ancelotti's use of technical midfielders could influence him.
- Inzaghi wants players to focus on having a good diet. He will point them towards Novak Djokovic's book, where it details the tennis star's diet.
- Inzaghi will use 4-3-3 to try and get the most from El Shaarawy, who is one of the key figures in this side (our star man so to speak).

Iturbe moves closer and closer to Juventus. They will probably announce the signing on wednesday according to GDS.


RE: Summer Mercato - Aficio - 07-07-2014

Not sure if Gala will spend for Balo, but this is a hint:

RE: Summer Mercato - honsano - 07-07-2014

I think it is really great that Inzaghi is focusing on ELS to make a possible Balo move less painful. What I don't like is that we are consistently linked with attacking players (outside of the Rami saga).

Anyone know if Inzaghi has spoken about Abate? Is the RB in his plans or are we looking to replace???


RE: Summer Mercato - ACMILAN1983 - 07-07-2014

Last I read is that Abate was possibly looking to renew as Seedorf was leaving. However, other rumours suggest that a couple of clubs (mostly PSG, but also the odd Serie A ones) are seriously after him, but we've not reached an agreement. We apparently want 8.5m for him, but the offer is less, though I read on the weekend that we may accept 5-6m.

The other thing on Abate is that his agent is Raiola, who already has issues with Barbara and it appears that outside of Galliani, no one at the club is all that enamoured with him.

Edit: Forgot I didn't actually answer the question lol. Inzaghi, as far as I'm aware, hasn't said anything about Abate (at least not in public). According to Milannews, he has spoken to each player in the squad individually at least once.

Balotelli playing for Prandelli? Not so sure after he was substituted against Uruguay in the World Cup.


RE: Summer Mercato - Aficio - 07-07-2014

Balo is not loved in Italy and no English club wants him, so Gala is not impossible destination.

However, I think the most important person in Balo's case is Pippo. As a coach, how he talks with the bad boy will define his future with Milan.

Other rumors:
- 17M immediately, 10M installments, 3M performance for the you-know-who
- Astori has only 1 year left in his contract, so we will wait for him a whole year :galliani:

Balotelli is the complete opposite of what Inzaghi is and used to be. I really think Inzaghi would want someone else with a totally different attitude than Balotelli's. Yes, I am one of those who doubt Balotelli will ever change. Devilol

Iturbe has agreed terms with Juve and latest reports say Juve are close to agreeing with Verona. I guess this ship has sailed for us.

I still support Balo, but I also want someone else with a totally different attitude Big Grin
