2017/18 Summer Transfer Rumors Mk. I

ES wrote:Milan's meeting with the German deal broker Petralito was for Aubameyang. BVB's initial request is €70m but could be lowered [@DiMarzio].

Milan consider Aubameyang one of the main alternatives for Morata (primary target) and Kalinic (the most feasible name) [Di Marzio].

Aubameyang is not willing to go to China and not attracted by a PL adventure. Real Madrid and Barcelona are not interested in the player too

PSG have not started any direct contacts with BVB for Aubameyang. The main obstacle is Aubameyang's father high demands.

3rd place here we come ffs

Would rather Morata than Auba tbh

Right. Why would you want a 30 goals a season striker when you can have a 8 goals a season striker

Lmao exactly.

30 goals in Bundesliga is about 8 goals in any other league though

Meh, having strikers who score goals is over-rated. Guys like Benzema are the new thing

Lacazette confirms he's leaving Lyon.  Also states that Atleti is his destination.

welcome Griezmann

I have to salute ES here wanting Morata, that's high football IQ. Morata scored 15 goals in like 10 games. He is a great goal scorer and if you trust him he will score goals in bundle for you

97% of his goals have come against the bottom 6 sides in La Liga ( part time tapas waiters), while playing in the most stacked team in the world

he's a nothing player, but Milan is about his level, I salute ES's realism, he knows there's 0 chance of signing Auba, Morata much more likely

Auba is on the wrong end of 28, proven in a league where Grafite was a historical player and a lowkey choke artist

Morata on the other hand, is a clutch player, who has a promising skillset, still relatively young, knows Serie A.

Besides, with this team we need someone who players can rely on in big games, not mince mentality. Plus, i generally think Morata is a better fit for this team.

I hope Real take that 70-80m and go for Mbappe, great piece of business from Real. Great club as well, we've enjoyed a great partnership over the years as the 2 most succesful teams in history, i'm hoping they win the 12etta. Maybe, even send us a few youngsters afterwards like Asensio and Kovacic for development (on loan ofc), instead of Barca hacks like Deulofeu.

No loans but 80 mil is fair

I think Morata is a better signing than Auba myself (though I think Auba would tear Serie A up too) I just don't think you have a realistic chance at signing him IMO.

Also don't understand needing a player who can step up in big games. Milan have like four of those a season lad.

If Milan end up dropping 60+m on Morata though

madness, not worth more than 40m IMO

ES knows the real value of footballers. To be expected from a Milan fan honestly although I'm still waiting on Fadi to tell me Pato would eventually be better than Messi.

It's going to be pretty humorous to see reactions when Morata is expected to create goals and lead a line.. compared to playing the CF role on an elite team against the lesser opponents.

Juve fans know what I'm talking about.

It might work in the EPL though. Technique isn't a requirement in that league... it's more about strength and pace so Morata may be ok.

Anthony Modeste is the third highest goal scorer in Bundesliga this season with 25 goals. Anthony *bleep* Modeste.. a Blackburn Rovers (now in League 1) reject

Patrik Schick agrees Juventus move
MAY 19, 2017
Various reports in Italy suggest Patrik Schick has agreed to join Juventus this summer.

The in-demand striker has had a standout season in Serie A, netting 11 goals, despite having featured largely from the bench.

AC Milan, Napoli, Inter and Tottenham Hotspur were all reported to be in competition for the 21-year-old Czech forward but Premium Sport report that Juventus have agreed terms with the player and he has decided to join the Bianconeri.

A €25m release clause was added to his contract when he joined Sampdoria, however Juve are hoping to lower the cost by offering players in exchange.

An official offer is pending and it seems ever more likely that he’ll be loaned back to Sampdoria for the 2017/18 season.

Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio’s also reports that Schick is close to Juventus, with Juve vice-chairman Pavel Nedved having played a crucial role in convincing the young striker to join the Italian champions.

Goal.com Juventus correspondent Romeo Agresti reports similar news with Juve expected to meet Schick’s agent in the coming days.

Morata destroying Real Madrid as Juventus reach the Champions League final:

Schick at 25M is such an amazing deal for us if true, like beyond unreal.

Any of Milan, Inter, Roma, Napoli would sign him at that price without blinking.

Well, Milan would have some issues because you see, they're not gonna do it. They can't do it. They would, but you see, the way they got their bank account set up, they got a checkings and a savings, but all their money is in their savings, so they gotta switch it to their checkings, but it's gonna take 3 business days...by that time, Schick would have signed elsewhere.

(Kevin Hart for the reference)

You sign a striker for 80 mil in his prime then you sign a youngster right behind... what kind of planning is that? Higuain has enough fat to prevent injuries, that kid will not grow.

We play 50 games a season and Higuain's back up is a 16 year old right now.

Shick's 21 years old and coming off of 1 average season in a league where complete jabroni's can enjoy prolific careers

can't wait for Juve fans to start hyping him like the he's second coming of Mbappe/Rashford

Why is Surag hyping this Shick jobber? He has 11 goals in 28 games in a league where Blackburn rejects have 20+ lmao.

You'd think he has 30 goals with how he's losing his mind over him lol, not even Bournemouth standard.

As if it is hard to watch Madrid games regularly, most big team games anyone can view without much disruption. Milan fans would know what Morata can and cannot do and wouldn't expect him to "create" his own goal scoring opportunities, as if those forwards are in abundance.

Honestly, I wish Milan was going for Benzema instead of Morata but I know they probably have a surplus of midfielders at this point.

Shick's good with the ball and can dribble, he likes flashy movesets

not surprising for someone whose favorite wrestler of all time is Rey Mysterio smh

will be at Watford in 18 months putting up single digits for the season

not hearing much about Belotti lately tbh

I legit never watch Torino but from impressions from others, his entire profile seems to be the perfect player for us/mou, wish we would sign him over someone like Griezmann

surprised Milan aren't in there for him rather than someone like Morata or Auba
