Winter Mercato - 2025

Sending Jimenez away now will be the height of stupidity. Even our management ain't that stupid.

I hope you are right. 

Ricci rumors back on btw. Let's see if the management is capable of making 1 good deal this winter. We badly need something if we want to fight for that CL spot.

Torino already made clear they will not sell Ricci in January. This is just a pipe dream.

I am not surprised we are not linked with experienced  players, Verratti is still a good option someone who can bring immediate impact rather than some French starlet. It's about time, if we didn't get on track, our season is doomed.

EDIT: only a half season in his current contract Nice one, his abilities are very helpful for us.

Sending Jimenez away now will be the height of stupidity. Even our management ain't that stupid.

I agree 100% if we 100% own him. But he is bounded by buy-back option from Real, and his inexperience could be exploited.
If we can get someone as a proper Theo's backup like Parisi, letting Jimenez enjoy a less pressure environment to bloom and get the money from Real is a quite practical approach.
Of course, I love to watch more of Jimenez.

Not much money there. Buy back clause is 15 millions. Imagine develop him into beast and then lose him for 15M.
Does those buy back clauses have some "expiration date" or it's active as long as he's our player? Because if he indeed develop into beast, he's gone for peanuts At worst, they'll take him back for 15, just to resell him for 30-40. Does player at least have right to reject buy back clause transfer move?

Even worse than that - it's a staggered buy-back clause. Real can get him back in 2025 for 9m, or 12m in 2026. Their choice [emoji3]

[Sampinjon]

Yeah, if he "blooms" he's gone...

He doesn't even need to become a beast, just someone like Brahim Diaz or close to that, which is in his reach.
Spanish & home grown for 9-12m, too good for Real to not take him back.
Of course, Milan could get the reputation and enough money for a new youth project somewhere between him and Lazetic/Mastour.

Milan will get the least benefit, and if he cannot become anything, 5m to a nearly relegated Futuro team.

Speaking of Lazetic and his doings in TSC, 750 minutes in Serbian competitions, 70 in European competitions, all played as CF - 0 goals 0 assists

[Santino]

Why they keep this kind of players? Just release them.

How he even played that much minutes
