Winter transfer rumours 2020/21

Dominik Szoboszlai (20), Hungarian attacker for Red Bull Salzburg, will transfer to RB Leipzig in January for a contractually set fee of 20m €.
He will be the 18th player to transfer from Salzburg to Leipzig. (kicker)

Ridiculous.

smooth operation from RB from their sister club.
sucks for us because boban had personal agreement with Szoboszlai on january for transfer, but he got fired and deal didnt move forward. he was holding out for milan move on June hoping rangnick would join milan and that didnt happen either to his disappointment so much so that he announced in twitter that he will stay put despite interest from Napoli, and spanish clubs as well.

too late for us. great young player with potential to be WC player

Papu Gomez seems to be asking to leave Atalanta after relations broke with Gasperini. Supposedly could be allowed to leave for free.

Huge pick up for any Serie A team trying to win the scudetto. Would fit Milan too well.

that Papu Gomez vs Gasperini fight is a mess. i dont think it was just gasperini asked gomez to do something which he refused and hell broke loose. Must have been some sort of verbal abuse between each other

Papu would be good fit for us he can play various roles too. but we are way too much stack up in LW position (rebic, leao, hauge) unless he plays as AM.

On the same note, Calhanoglu tomorrow with his agent for new discussion. Milannews.it via tuttosport reports that the economic differences could be resolved and now chances of hakan staying at milan has increased.
Milan offer is 3.5 million plus bonuses, and hakan was asking 6 million but seems compromise could be meet in the vicinity of 4 million. If by this week it couldnt be resolve, hakan will be free to make pre contract agreement with interested club though milan is reported to keep him regardless until June and not sell him in january.

Would love to get Papu in a short contract in January. He will be great for our top 4 push. Hearing reports that Torreira might leave Atletico too, would be great if we could get him for depth. Don't want to see any more Krunic ffs

Seems that we are signing Nicolo Rovella (19) any day now and leaving him on loan for now at Genoa for ~8m + Portanova or a similar player.

Sami Khedira is set to join Everton this January. Khedira will take a significant pay cut in order to join the blues but a reunion with Carlo Ancelotti looks to be on the cards after talks this week

Yeah it's been pretty widely rumored for a while. Should have left in the summer like Matuidi and Higuain.

Can't imagine this version of Khedira doing well in the PL. Way too physically finished, even his top class understanding and positioning shouldn't be enough if it wasn't so for Serie A.

Looks like it’s done dealing Alaba to Madrid, at least according to Jan Aage Fjortoft

2nd half of the sentence takes a huge crap on the first one lmaooo

I can’t speak for his credibility, or lack thereof, but Jan Åge Fjørtoft has to be the most PR horny, former fotballer I’ve ever witnessed.

He doesn't know more than you, Nick or me, other than maybe Falk and Romano tell him what they're about to tweet 5 minutes earlier

GDM linked us with Papu

Great player but not sure he's the profile we need right now.

Why we are not all over Papu is beyond me.

Because honestly you need of other profiles.  A CB first of all, perhaps a vice-Ibra, a midfield at max.
Where he'd play and   in place of who ?
Calhanoglu is playing great

Calhanoglu is playing great but after him they have to rely on Brahim. Same for the LW, if Rebic is out or needs to rest or be subbed then the options drop off a cliff. Anyway Papu is better than both.

There are enough games for Milan to need a profile like Papu. Him, Calhanoglu, and Rebic for 2 positions while playing every 3 days. Then you have depth options like Brahim or Hauge.

This would be a scudetto winning move by Milan.

In our case it's not the ideal profile we need, but having him instead of Ramsey or Bernardeschi elevates our game a lot. We play with Ramsey as a AM drifting from the sides, this is pretty much Papu's role.

Today #Simakan is closer: the player is sure to become a #Milan player. #Maldini also wants Koné: the Rossoneri scouts have been following him since last year. They've gotten great reports from his matches.

Yep, you will see a lot of games where we struggled to score after Ibra got injured. Those games we drew could have been wins if we had a game changer like Papu. I'd say Ibra and somehow our LB Theo Hernandez are the only game changers in our squad. Signing Papu would be like signing Cassano in 2011. The worst part of not getting him would be him going to Inter or Juve and strengthening our rivals.

Our priorities in order seem to be CB, CDM/CM, backup ST. Can't really complain about that. Its the most rational plan.

Bryan Reynolds. Juventus today have offered $7M to Dallas FC [loan + obligation to buy, permanent deal] and are waiting for an answer also by player side. Juve are in the race with Roma and Brugge for the next USA gem. @SkySport https://t.co/SHvdxQI2zD

Ridiculous.

Now you know how others feel when a certain club from Bavaria cherry picks from other German clubs.

Atrocious. They should be investigated.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Pretty much every source has us heavily linked with Scamacca. There seems to be some distance in what Sassuolo and Juve want, with Sassuolo apparently wanting 20-25m obligation, while Juve want an option or a cheaper deal.

Poor man's Ibrahimovic. A very poor man, but, given the times, I'll take it

Is tall strikers a thing in Juventus? I still remember mentioning around here that Juve were reportedly trying to sign a 17 year old, Haaland before he eventually went to RB Salzburg. Someone on here said that you already had a similar type of prospect in «tall, Italian striker x».

Mario Mandzukic is [was...] a free agent - he has turned down bids from Turkish clubs weeks ago. He’ll be in Milano in the next few hours in order to sign his contract as new AC Milan player until the end of the season - medicals pending. Confirmed. #ACMilan #transfers https://t.co/R4VmYVm4BC

Fikayo Tomori is set to join AC Milan from Chelsea. The agreement is expected to be completed next week on loan with buy option [*no* obligation] around €30m. Tomori will fly to Milano in the next few days.

Here we go soon. #CFC #ACMilan https://t.co/4FDzDY7uh3
