🔴🔴AC Milan director Tare: “Mike Maignan will stay with us next season”.

“There was interest from a Premier League club [Chelsea] but we didn’t find an agreement. We decided to keep Mike”.

“You never know what happens on the market… but we want Maignan to stay”.

I'm reading right between the lines with this statement

I don't know it this was posted or anyone cares but Teddy Sharman-Lowe (GK who are with England U21 on Euro right now, but not first choice) is loaned to Botlon:

Kepa to Arsenal is done, what a huge loss money wise that is

No idea what Bono is earning in Saudi, but he should be looked at. He would tick most boxes and isn't coming off a poor season.

Almada is a tidy player. Taken well to life in Europe & has been one of Argentina's star performers in WC qualifying.

I thought Almada was on loan at Lyon from his Brazilian club with a view to permanent deal (iirc) 

He's got the tools to be a very nice attacking mid.

Kepa off the books though is still good news as he was never gonna play for us again

He was a record signing for Atlanta United. He came in with the hype that he would develop to a world class player. He was good, but never developed to the hype. Atlanta lost money because European clubs lost interest in him, that is why he was sold to his Brazilian club where he didn’t impress either. He hasn’t impressed at Lyon either. He wasn’t exactly a great teammate at Atlanta. They wanted to move him after two seasons.

Blueco licking their chops at a discounted price for Malick Fofana I’m sure 

 

 

I would take a discount Malick Fofana over a big investment on Gittens. Save the big money for a player that is irresistible - Rogers, Xavi Simons, Barcola

Ah, you're correct. I'd imagine there was some agreement before all this went down.

Botafogo will be raking it in this summer (will soften the blow of the owner).

Seems like someone who thinks they're better than they actually are. 4 goals in ten games for Argentina is a decent return. 

I'm sure a bigger European side will have a look at him for a cut price fee, as he does have the talent. His attitude might be a different story, though.

Looks like Marcin Bulka to Sunderland from Nice still early stages but they are pushing

[Pizy 18,877]

Wonder when we’re going to finally start hearing about us being linked with a new LB as cover for Cucu. Feels like we pretty badly need one. Maresca even mentioned it in remarks yesterday. Playing Gusto there isn’t going to cut it. Or will we just bring Renato Veiga back in the fold? 

Because as of now Cucu is one of those players in our team where if he gets a long term injury it really fucks us.

Manchester United have communicated a price of £70million to Alejandro Garnacho's suitors. Chelsea hold an interest.

In a world where PSG signed Kvicha for £59m and Doue for £42m, we are looking to pay £55m for Jamie Gittens and are interested in Garnacho who is going to cost more.

I wouldn't say it is a priority and think bringing Veiga into the fold is a solid idea. He seemed like a well built defender + composed on the ball. 

A right-sided CB signing + Colwill/Veiga at LCB with Veiga providing cover for LB sounds good to me.
