According to Sky, Genoa are trying to get Perin on loan in January. Why would they want to bring Perin back? I thought Radu was doing great at Genoa. Unless we're willing to bring Radu back to Inter in January, these are really bad news for him.

Radu has only two clean sheets this season and has second-most conceded goals in the league so far.

Zapata has created a lot of discussion for a player we never had a chance on.

We put 50m€ straight in front of Atalanta's sporting director and he would have sold Zapata to us in the summer for sure. What CoolMan44 mentioned about Zapata's use of strength is the precise thing I don't like about Lukaku (among random finishing ability). Lukaku is a big tank but plays like a 70kg player.

This is what happens when you play for a relegation side.

There is a slight chance that if we somehow sign 3/4 winter quality players, we might give a very tough fight to Juve for the Scudetto.

(1) CF - Giroud / Mertens / ? (hopefully not Petagna coz he would not be of any help)
(2) CM - Kulusevski / De Paul / ?
(3) WB - M.Alonso / ? (might be a good useful player in Conte's tactic and watch out for Darmian - Conte & Inter's fav)
(4) CM - Vidal (if we get a good loan deal, which I very much doubt)

We will kind of have 2 new players in Sanchez & Sensi as well. So with Sanchez returning, may be Mertens might not make sense (impossible as well).

This way, we might be able to give a good fight in all the 3 competitions (much needed rotation could be done).

Don't have one.
Only way we sign that many players is if we offload a couple of them which is highly unlikely as it stands right now, there isn't even any strong rumors of anybody leaving, the closest one is maybe politano...

Milan join Haaland race?
By Football Italia staff

According to Sportitalia, Milan have joined the list of clubs vying for Erling Braut Haaland and offered the RB Salzburg striker €5.5m per season.

The 19-year-old is available for just €30m, including agent’s commission, and his release clause can be activated in the January transfer window.

While there are proposals from Juventus, Manchester United, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Nice, among others, money is not going to be the main issue.

Haaland wants regular playing time to continue his development and Milan could certainly offer that.

It had been reported Juve were proposing €3m per season plus bonuses, but the Rossoneri would dwarf that with €5.5m in wages. :chan:

There have been rumours elsewhere that Haaland is after €8m per year. :serious:

The son of former Leeds United striker Alf-Inge Haaland has scored an incredible 28 goals in 22 competitive matches this season, including eight in six Champions League games.
Crazy figures. I know his agent is looking for a club where he will play and continue to develop. We know he`s EPL bound sooner or later, but I guess italians want to make good money on him.

Nah. His agent is Mino Raiola so he only cares about money.

GK is the least of their problems lmao

Even though Perin is their former captain and star player, he's a chronically injured has-been/almost-was in a position where they're covered. Not to mention the waste of money on a loan fee and his wages which have certainly increased since his move to juve. Ridiculous management if true.

I know, but I`m sure he can arrange both. I remember him saying he wants a bumper club where Håland plays regularly, before going to a big club.

Perin to Genoa seems like another juBentus instrumented deal to comply with FFP regulations, as they struggle to sell players to justify Ronaldo expenses. Let`s not forget how Genoa payed €1.50m for the LOAN + €16.50m transfer fee for Stefano fucking Sturaro. And he played 3 matches this season ;)

they gave them money back by buying Cristian Romero for much increased fee. That's how you deal with FFP (we do it the same way btw).
Maybe Genoa will buy Perin from Juve for about 20 mln euro and Paratici takes Agudelo for 30 mln euro to make it profitable for Preziosi? But as you said, it's strange for me, because Radu is doing fine and Perin is injured all the time.

Yes, I know about that deal as well, thanks.

Why aren't we signing Torreira?
Because it`s unrealistic. Napoli WANT to sign him, that`s far away from actually making it.

Here`s the latest for you: Arsenal are unwilling to entertain the possibility of Torreira leaving in January and his agent was told by the club’s hierarchy that he is not for sale. Plus, he has a contract until 2023.

Milan return Rebic to clear space for Zlatan?

According to both Nicolo Schira of La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky’s Gianluca di Marzio, AC Milan are ready to send Ante Rebic back to Eintracht Frankfurt just four months after signing the Croatia international.

He only arrived in the summer on a two-year loan deal that includes a €25 million option to buy, but the 26-year-old has managed just 178 minutes of action so far this season and will reportedly be returned to the Bundesliga side in order for the Rossoneri to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

I think we will get 2 players, at best 3. But I am ok with that. Its the quality of players that I am more concerned about. I can understand wanting a back up striker, but for all other positions we need to focus on starters. There is no point getting an average midfielder or wingback, we have enough of those already. We need players who have the quality to start for us, or at least fight for a starting spot. In the midfield for example, we need to be aiming for someone of Bro-Sensi-Barella level or at least someone who can seriously compete with them for a starting role, not someone who is better than Vecino or Valero.

So I am ok with Alonso, but there is no point getting Darmian.

Ok with Vidal or Kulusevski, but there is little point in wasting precious money on Gedson Fernandes or De Paul.

I would rather we buy 2 quality players than 4 average ones.

Yes, 2/3 players would be more than enough for the Winter Mercato and I am pretty hopeful that Conte might get them. We should definitely get a CF and CM. As for WB, we should get one, only if Asamoah will not be coming back anytime soon.

ADL last-minute "operations":

Il Corriere dello Sport report that Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has offered Callejon a two-year extension to stay, but without a pay rise. The winger would still earn the same €3.5m a season wages as before, a deal Callejon is reportedly not happy with. It’s thought that the former Real Madrid player wants €4m a season.

Napoli have reportedly offered Mertens a two-year deal at €3m a season, a proposal he doesn’t find acceptable. La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the main sticking point is the signing-on bonus. Mertens would like a three-year deal at €4m a campaign in wages, something the club is refusing to contemplate. Il Mattino state if the striker doesn’t revise his standing, he can leave in the January transfer window. The striker has a €10m release clause, but it is only eligible for overseas clubs. [Dortmund are considering him]

Milan and Atleti in for Matic too

Milan are interested in signing Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, but face competition from Atletico Madrid.

The Serbian international has been consistently linked with a move to the other side of Milan, with Inter coach Antonio Conte a known admirer of the 31-year-old.

The two worked together at Chelsea and won the Premier League in 2016-17.

However La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that now the Rossoneri are interested in Matic.

The midfielder is out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and has only made seven appearances in all competitions this season.

His contract expires next June, and it is thought that Milan could sign the player in January for a small fee.

It's suggested he is looking for a contract to June 2022.

Atletico Madrid are said to be also interested in Matic, and could prove to be more appealing.

Coincidentally, Matic had dinner with Wolves Striker Patrick Cutrone in late November, with Cutrone of course being a former Milan player.

The 21-year-old posted a picture on his Instragram account of the two sitting at a table.
Milan copycat our transfer objectives again?

Reports in France and Spain claim that Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo has rejected the opportunity to join Milan, but Manchester United and Monaco are in the running.
The Serie A club had been linked with the 20-year-old in recent weeks, hoping they could sign the defender on loan with an obligation to buy in January. Manchester United refuse to insert a buy-back clause into the contract. Calciomercato.com had stated that talks between Milan and Barcelona had broken down due to a disagreement on how any potential deal would be structured.

So I am ok with Alonso, but there is no point getting Darmian.

Ok with Vidal or Kulusevski, but there is little point in wasting precious money on Gedson Fernandes or De Paul.
Kulusevski is not available in winter, only if Atalanta reach a deal with Parma, so it`s not really in our powers. Perhaps if we add 5m to that 35m, it could work to compensate Parma as well.

Why do you think De Paul would not be suitable to compete for a starting spot? I`m just curious what are your arguments, given that our entire club from Conte to Zanetti seem to agree on De Paul. Plus, he`s probably the easiest to sign, both time-wise & payment conditions-wise.
