I'm starting to think that Kessie, Di Maria and maybe one of Luis Suarez, Cavani or Belotti (but he'd want to start somewhere?) will end up at Juventus on free transfers. Dybala could end up with us if we overpay but he's probably Man City bound since there seems to be some tension between him and his rotten club.

Pogba to Juventus is not as realistic, for some reason Real Madrid wants him so he's probably going there rather than tarnish his name at Juventus. But it's possible they go for him if he's the same price as Kessie, although they'd rather weaken a rival I suppose.

Di Maria's agent is pushing for moves to Italy and Spain, so since we're not interested I don't see any other team willing to go for him. Maybe Barcelona but not so sure if he wants that mark on his head since he played for Real. Or Atletico perhaps. Milan cannot afford him with their salary structure, Roma and Napoli are not in it either. Maybe he'll stick to PSG if they use the option but I think they're waiting to see if Mbappe and Neymar will leave after all. If he leaves, I think Juventus is the team he goes to.

Juventus will lose Bernardeschi on a free, he's on rather high wages. No clue on Cuadrado, I guess he'll stay with less money.

Milan is likely to lose both Kessie and Romagnoli on frees.
Raiola is pushing Mkhitaryan to other Serie A clubs, so while Milan would make sense I think their relations are torn. He could very well end up with us, as some deal with Raiola in the future De Vrij sale.


We're very likely losing Perisic on a free. Might lose Handanovic as well. One of D'Ambrosio and Ranocchia are also at risk. Letting Vidal and Vecino go are the right moves obviously. None of them will be replaced by a more expensive player. Maybe we'll see Agoume and Pirola take roster spots. And/or Vanheusden. So it'd be best to replace Vidal with a player who's a leader and still has enough quality.

I would love if we could somehow end up with Luka Modric, even at this age, if it's a reasonable salary. He's gonna have more impact than we hoped Vidal would have. If he wants to leave Real Madrid after all these years, it's possible that a Serie A move will be what he wants. Lots of Croatians of his age grew up watching Serie A and liking the Italian teams, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to play for us, Milan or Juventus even at this point in his career, plus the proximity to his country.

If we want a leader, we should get Dybala.

He isn't a leader in the sense of being a captain or one in the dressing room. But what we really need is someone on the pitch to make things happen when it gets tight. Someone who will ask for the ball and do something good with it. This is exactly the player we are missing today, more so after Sanchez leaves.

Di Maria to Juve makes no sense for both sides. Why would Juve go for Di Maria when they have Chiesa on the right? Granted he's returning from a serious injury but bringing another player on a high salary in the same position just as a cover? It makes no sense for them when they have much bigger needs. Also why would Di Maria go to Juve to be a squad player when he can stay at PSG and have an important role?

Regarding Juve, i am certain they will sell De Ligt and they'll probably replace him with Romagnoli and use his money to get SMS. Kessie is possible for Juve. Cuadrado will certainly stay while Bernardeschi will almost certainly be gone as he doesn't seem willing to take a paycut. It's also rumoured Morata could stay if Atletico give them a discount. If Dybala is gone, they will probably go for Zaniolo. Curious how Roma and Juve will try to fuck us up because of our % in his sale.

Chiesa has played a lot on the left and perhaps he's more suited there for Serie A.

PSG has an option to keep Di Maria and they have not exercised it yet iirc, so I'm thinking that they are okay with him leaving. And since his agent did talk with us I'm guessing that he was instructed that his player has no future at PSG more than giving them any pressure to give him a new deal.

They don't have enough wingers for Allegri's system so Di Maria in fact makes perfect sense. Cuadrado has been used as winger after a while, Alex Sandro even played as winger a couple of times. They're thin there and they like a high profile signing.

Zaniolo will definitely be a target for them, probably an easy objective, too.

On the De Ligt and Romagnoli situation, I think you're getting somewhere.

They're getting pretty serious in the market and we have to start preparing for that ourselves. Wr cannot compete financially but at best we can hope not to dismantle the squad and find some gems to fill the place of those leaving.

Lazio have reportedly made an offer to sign Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli as a free agent at the end of the season and have set their sights on Napoli’s David Ospina who is also a target of Real Madrid.

Romagnoli sees his Milan contract expire at the end of the season, but talks to extend his stay at the club have led nowhere so far.

The 27-year-old is on a €5.5m-a-year deal at San Siro, but club director Paolo Maldini will offer him a pay cut. According to Calciomercato.com, Milan won’t offer more than €2.5m-a-year to their captain, while Lazio have put a new €3m-a-year contract on the table.

Romagnoli is a product of Roma academy but is a Lazio fan and a picture of him wearing the Biancocelesti shirt has circulated on social media over the last few years.

Lazio have also targeted Napoli’s David Ospina, who can already sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of a free move in the summer.

Pepe Reina has slipped down in Maurizio Sarri’s pecking order this season, with Thomas Strakosha becoming the regular starter at the Stadio Olimpico. The Tuscan tactician is looking for an alternative in the market and Igli Tare has already begun preliminary talks with Ospina’s entourage but is aware of Real Madrid’s interest.

Carlo Ancelotti coached Ospina and Napoli and wants to reunite with the Colombia to make him become Madrid’s second-choice goalkeeper in 2022-23.

Milan are reportedly in advanced talks with Divock Origi and the Liverpool striker has given the green light for a move to San Siro as a free agent.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan director Paolo Maldini is an admirer of the Belgium international who sees his contract expire at the end of the season. The Serie A giants have opened talks with the Origi’s entourage and the player is open to moving to San Siro.

Origi has scored five goals in 14 appearances with Liverpool this season, including one against Milan in a Champions League group stage game. The striker is ‘fascinated’ by joining the Rossoneri but has also received offers from the Premier League.

Belotti and Origi to milan for free

PS: Kessie is going to Barcelona.

Origi has a team option. I guess Liverpool would only ask for a fee of a few millions instead.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are now in pole position to sign Antonio Rudiger as a free agent from Chelsea, surpassing Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the race.
Real Madrid had seemed to be the favourites, but now the Gazzetta dello Sport claim Juventus have surged in front with a salary package worth €7m per season.

It would represent a return to Serie A for Rudiger, who already impressed at Roma and was sold for €35m in 2018.

Juve have the advantage, as the ‘growth decree’ means they can get a massive discount on taxes for a player coming in from abroad.
Are they really selling De Ligt this summer?

They wanted to send Raspadori to Juventus last summer as well after Ronaldo departure. It didn't happen only because the player rejected gobbi. But the best part is Sassuolo had informed Inter earlier Raspodori isn't for sale but suddenly he was available for Rube in the last days of transfer market.

I love this deal because it exposes the lies from Italian media. This is basically the salary Maldini "reportedly offered" to Kessie months ago but instead he was asking for 8-10m. The reality seems a lot different. Kessie agent had said many times Milan's offer was a lot lower than the reported figures on the media.

Bring Raspadori here. We need him. We need to sign Bremer, Lopez, Frattesi, Raspadori, Scamacca.
