Mario Pašalić

[mccg 1,528]

We last met with Milan about a month ago. We are waiting for the club’s decision, we’ll see what they want to do."

"Mario’s priority is to stay at Milan, but clearly other clubs are interested. There are Italian, Spanish and German teams on his trail. We are waiting for the Rossoneri but it’s normal if the other clubs are ready to move."

-Marco Naletilic; Source: Calciomercato

That’s Pašalić’s agent reminding Milan about his client’s priorities, as well as about potential interest in young Mario’s services from other teams as well, just as a good agent should. There is no mention of Chelsea anywhere in this narrative however, which is a bit unfortunate.  Pašalić was signed by Chelsea in 2014 but has just one year left on his contract. Chelsea paid £3m for the then 19-year-old Hajduk Split star, who’s certainly worth a fair bit more than that these days after impressive loan spells at Elche, AS Monaco, and AC Milan. weaintgotnohistory

If we sell, why not get wise and put in a low buy back clause like City have done. Makes sense to do this routinely when possible...

I think he will make the team this year  Looks like a raw but talented box-to-box midfielder ... Conte type of player IMO Can't see us bringing another midfielder for rotation but we certainly need one if Matić is leaving  

Kante, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Pašalič and Luiz or Baker in extreme emergency is enough for 2 positions

I think he could easily fill the Matic role. More dynamic mid too

According to reports in Russia, Chelsea and Spartak Moscow agreed 1 year loan for Pasalic. Now it depends if player accept the move.

What's the point in loaning to Russia? Development purposes lol?  You will stagnate if not regress there. Hell, even some Estonian players have managed to play in their premier league and that says something.

Yeap, would be a bad move, especially after playing for Monaco and Milan. I'm not sure Mario himself will accept it.

Interesting if he gets more minutes pre season game against milan, was hoping he would progress into a CFC player got the size to do well in cm ,by reports he done pretty well on loan again last season after a slow start. Good chance to impress Conte could do with more squad numbers, probly gone tho tbf.

Real Betis are keen to land Chelsea’s Mario Pasalic on a season-long deal.

Spanish newspaper Estadio Deportivo claim Betis are planning to bid for the midfielder.

Pasalic spent last season on loan at AC Milan in Serie A but could head to La Liga this summer.

Chelsea are open to letting the the 22-year-old head out on loan.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Why put him back at Betis when he has had good loans at Monaco and AC Milan? He already has had a loan with a bad La Liga side with Elche!

Off to Spartak Moscow after signing a new deal with us.

Think he could have done a job as a rotation option in midfield where the team is severely lacking numbers right now. He's got like 100 games worth of experience from top level football after his loans at Elche, Monaco and Milan so why not keep him and see what he can do?

Surely some fancy CM signing must be coming in now with the club letting this guy go too even after Matic and Chalobah sales.

I thought this shit was going to stop. 10+ players out on loan with the likes of Kenedy & Musonda to follow?

Its more like 20+ players out on loan and it is gonna be 30 before the window closes. 

 

Sparatk seems like a step down for Pasalic after having had reasonably successfull at some of Europe's better clubs. Also I always ahd him down as superior to Lewis Baker, who is also 22 and non-homegrown IIRC.
