Winter Mercato - 2025

RB is on the hook for 1.2b, correct? Plus whatever else they put into the club since purchase (if anything). No idea how football clubs are valued, but if we go by "the standard" valuation method, you're looking at something around 3× revenue. That would put Milan between 1.2b and 1.5b currently. The question becomes....is there a buyer out there willing to spend that much on a football club in Italy? Difficult to imagine that there is.

[Sampinjon]

Only football "enthusiasts" from Middle east could be willing to afford that, but they already have clubs. I guess we're stuck with those shady hedge funds. RB, Elliot, name it... next one could be better than current... or it could be worse...

Congratulations to Furlani, Moncada & Ibrahimovic.

Jovan Kirovski was a terrible hire. Just a Ibrahimovic yes man for Max to get lots of minutes

Pietro Mazzara: Theo Hernandez has made up his mind: he wants out.
It's unlikely that Fiorentina will pay the €10 million to sign Yacine Adli.

TMW radio pundit: “If I were Furlani, I’d fire myself—for all the damage done and for the incompetence. He’s not competent, it’s not his field. I saw Galliani’s face yesterday and heard he told people close to him in the stands, ‘This is unbearable suffering, I might not even come anymore.’

Sportitalia: On exactly June 1, 2022, the downfall of AC Milan officially began, with Gerry Cardinale arriving in Milan. “The arrogance of this ownership is, of all their many flaws, without doubt the most serious. The idea that they’re the smartest, the cleverest, the most insightful never leaves anyone orbiting around the upper floors of Casa Milan, a cushioned world where match results might as well not exist. That’s why Milan, thanks to RedBird, has become the laughingstock of Italian and European football. The much-hyped ‘Vision’ is a severe case of shortsightedness that can only be corrected by urgent intervention. We are far beyond hiring a new sporting director or blaming the CEO. This is the reckoning of Europe’s worst ownership.”

Ex Atalanta director Lee Congerton to lead Milan’s new revolution.

He seems to have an impressive CV but once a feeling Atalanta recommended him to us so we back off of D’Amico. He’s probably not as good as they told Furlani that he is. He’s also more international. I think the Italianization of this team goes out the window again if we sign him. I also love how (even with the coaching search) we are linked with high profiles, only to get bottom of the barrel junk.

“AC Milan immediately turned down Manchester City's opening €60-million offer for coveted Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders as it fell well short of their €90-million asking price. Even if City return with a €70-million bid, the Rossoneri have no intention of cutting a deal with the former Premier League champions.

Milan remain open to selling Reijnders given they're unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League, and City aren't deterred by the Italians' tough stance.“

[nefremo]

90-100m is enticing for a club in our sotuation. But I have zero confidence that we'll use that money correctly. So I'd rather keep Reijnders.

[reza]

In my opinion 90 should be enticing for most, not just this Milan. Of course almost zero chance it will be used well.
