Summer Transfers 2021

https://www.calciomercato.com/news/il-milan-aspetta-il-campione-d-europa-giroud-tra-l-accordo-e-la--77070

So we're signing Giroud and are on the forefront to sign De Paul.

Nothing earth shattering but proper upgrades over Mandzukic and Hakan.

Leicester are in advanced talks to sign Odsonne Édouard from Celtic, now working to complete the deal - many clubs interested so #LCFC keen to secure it quickly.

Not yet at signings stage but Leicester board now confident. Soumaré deal with Lille, done and confirmed. #lcfc

PSG making moves...  Ashraf Hakimi and Wijnaldum done deals apparently.  Working to sign Keane permanently as well.  Donnarumma as well.

Players likely on the way out:  Dagba, Kehrer, Idrissa Gueye and Icardi.

They have to make the inputs and outputs basically match per reports, and they think that it's done. I get the others. Wonder where Icardi ends up.

It is extremely stupid at this point to capitulate to Riola's demands. In fact, it is almost criminal.

Donnarumma basically have no exit strategy since Milan will not take him back, and every big team bar United already have a top-class GK on long contracts and expensive wages.

In this market, no one will fight to hit their budget on a position they don't need. Basically, the clubs have a massive upper hand in this negotiation, so much that failing to use this upper hand should be subject to criminal investigation.

Not bad. Need LB and CDM imo.

Yes, he's headed to Spurs most likely since Paratici was the one who got him at Sampdoria

Agero>Barca
Kane>City
Icardi>Spurs
Kean>PSG
Haaland>Chelsea
Andre Silva>Dortmund
Giroud>Milan
Lukaku>Liverpool
No one>Inter

Brings nothing to the team really . Way too static . Old school poacher.

AC Milan have re-opened talks with Barcelona for Junior Firpo as potential new signing. The agreement with Real Madrid for Brahim Diaz on loan + buy option is expected to be completed in the next days. @DiMarzio #FCB #ACMilan

No idea who, can any Barca fans shed some light?

Also

In addition to Tomori and Giroud, Milan also want to discuss Hakim Ziyech with Chelsea. It’s just an idea for the Rossoneri at the time being but he is a profile that appeals a lot to the club

Yes please, get Ziyech and De Paul, boot off Hakan and legit we might be CL contendors, not even joking.

Left back Setien brought with him from Betis. Apparently he was decent at Betis but very poor for us, perhaps he didnt rise to the occassion when the expectations were bigger but I didnt see much potential in him to get better.

But then again I didnt are Lucas Digne either and now at Everton he's in YT videos titled "You wont believe how good Digne is" so maybe Firpo could be reinvigorated in a new environment.

Firpo not good when forced to be used in deep build up. Reads the game a little erratically, so misplaced passes and bad decisions.

But in the final third he is dangerous, can beat someone in the 1v1 as he is a decent dribbler in those areas and is a pretty good athlete.

Defensively not focused, but he did do a good job on Mbappe as a right sided CB in a back 3 so I dont think a total lost cause. ​

Different kind of player but dont think he will reach the level of Digne for example, who I generally liked at Barca.

And why would we sign another Belgian lump like Lukaku. We already have Origi.

Speaking on the Transfer Window podcast, Duncan Castles claims Allegri would welcome Pogba back into his squad.

Castles said: "I can tell you that Max Allegri is a fan of Pogba, had a very good relationship with Pogba when they worked together at Juventus, and I'm told would be interested in bringing him back to Juventus if that fitted in with the rest of his transfer plans and it could be done in a way that could be accommodated with the limited budget they have."

https://thepeoplesperson.com/2021/06/05/italian-media-convinced-cristiano-ronaldo-and-paul-pogba-will-swap-sides-225367/

The Italian media are growing more convinced and excited by the day that Paul Pogba might be on his way back to Juventus and that Cristiano Ronaldo could be heading in the opposite direction.

Pogba has returned as the prime target for Juve in their summer transfer plans under returning coach Max Allegri.

Calciomercato.com’s Mario Scalcerte agrees, saying ‘I think Allegri would make a quick exchange with United between Pogba and Ronaldo.’

I'd take a Dybala + 20M swap for Pogba

Varane Martial swap

I mean, offered for free because I do not see him having that high of a value these days.

Atlético Madrid are pushing to sign Rodrigo de Paul as main target - there’s also Hakan Çalhanoglu on the list, he’s a potential opportunity but AC Milan still hope to convince him to stay. #Atleti @mattemoretto

NO talks with Inter for Lautaro Martinez, as of today.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 13, 2021

Bruhhhh we should be convincing Hakan to leave and get De Paul ffs not the other way around.

I find English clubs vehement interest in Locatelli quite funny, must've learnt their lesson on Jorginho. Anyways, his development has been Kessie-like, at Milan he scored an insane goal against Juve and disappeared, was a mediocre midfielder and didn't reach his potential.

He’s been fantastic at Sassuolo (a very good Sassuolo side too, and not in the Atalanta sense where you don’t know if a player will play good outside of their system), for 2 seasons now

I’m hoping he joins Juventus

Edit- he was like 19 when he scored that goal against Juventus and is still only 23

He is back where he belongs.
He is back home.#SupermanReturns 🟡@gianluigibuffon @Kyle_J_Krause @ParmaCalcio_en pic.twitter.com/bh2FO6P8YX
