According to Sky Sport Italia, Merkel will go back to Genoa, Maxi Lopez to Catania, and Aquilani to Liverpool. As for Strasser, he's already been told he will go to Torino for Ogbonna (He's not too happy).
Also, Milan are very close to Donnarumma for 3rd GK and Roma will stay on as GK Coach.
RUMOR: Tognaccini, Athletic Fitness Coach, would be considered as the one to be blamed for the injuries, so he would be sacked when the season ends. Allegri has offered a new Athletic coach for next year (From Cagliari).
According to SkySports Italia, Mesbah will go to either Siena or Atalanta and will be gone the first few days of the Transfer Window in June.
Great post overall, though I've only quoted the bits that I want to respond to. About Flamini, I read somewhere he rejected the 1.75m offer earlier, but can't remember the source.
Not sure if De Sciglio is ready as a starter at RB and despite his derby mistakes, Abate's not been bad there. However, it will be nice to see De Sciglio play a bigger role in the squad next season.
Merkel going back to Genoa would be a bad move as he's useful. However, I wouldn't be surprised as we probably intend to keep El Shaarawy.
Maxi back to Catania is fine if they expect 8.5m. If he can be kept at low cost, then he's a useful squad player.
Strasser for Ogbonna is something I read recently. I'm not sure it would be full ownership for him though, I think it mentioned co-ownership on the article I read. Verdi and Oduamadi (both already at Torino) were also mentioned.
Donnarumma for Roma seems an odd move, as he's apparently got potential. Having him sitting on our bench seems a waste.
Tognaccini being sacked is another rumour I read recently, with Allegri putting Simone Velotti's (his fitness coach at Cagliari) name forward as a replacement. Something must be done about injuries, and I think this will be one of many steps.
Mesbah leaving seems inevitable. He's just not good enough for us (he's a midtable player at most) and his performances in CL resulted in us literally being a laughing stock in Europe.
