Maldini and Massara ready for the final lunge for the Belgian: every hour could be good for the white smoke. The Spaniard reaches Gattuso
CASTILLEJO-VALENCIA: DONE
Samu Castillejo leaves Milan, the deal with Gattuso’s Valencia closed: permanent sale. He is due to leave for Spain in the evening.
DE KETELAERE, THE 30 MILLION OFFER IS READY
Every day could be good, every hour could be that of waiting for white smoke. Milan is tightening the pace for de Ketelaere and is ready to launch the decisive assault on Bruges. Today or at the latest tomorrow, Maldini and Massara will deliver the expected offer of 30 million to the Belgian club, which should definitively unlock the deal. Milan has no intention of letting go of what they consider a talent of great prospect and on the other hand Bruges himself is faced with the greatest offer received in its history and, in fact, has excluded the player from the last friendly and, according to Hln, he will also leave him out on Wednesday in the match against Utrecht and, in the case, in Sunday’s super cup against Gent.
FROM BENNACER TO LEAO: MALDINI AND MASSARA WORK ON RENEWALS
On the one hand the need to reinforce the team with new players, on the other hand not to lose some of the most important elements of the squad to zero. Apart from Tomori, for whom the renewal will come without haste – the player wants to stay with the Rossoneri and the negotiation should not be too complicated -, something is also moving on the Bennacer front, for which everything seemed to have already been done months ago but that, in pending the change of ownership, he had postponed the talks. The Algerian is considered to be at the center of the project and the negotiation has restarted. It is possible that we will soon arrive at the white smoke. The speech relating to Leao is more complicated: Milan has put 4.5 million on the plate per season, Mendes asks for 6.5 million more bonuses. There is distance and we will try to find an agreement maybe halfway, but no one, from the ownership to the technical area, intends to lose the Portuguese. Beware of Sanches, also in Mendes’ stable: giving in a little to the Lille player (agreement already reached for 10 million plus bonuses with the French club) at the level of engagement could help Maldini and Massara to better close Leao’s renewal.
CALDARA AND MALDINI: TODAY COULD BE GOODBYE DAY
Caldara and Maldini are very close to the loan release and news in this sense could arrive as early as the day. The former Venice center is one step away from La Spezia: the formula is that of a loan with the right of redemption set at 3 million and the Ligurian club plans to make it available to Gotti in the next few days. For Daniel Maldini, the destination, also on loan, should be Verona. Also in this case it is a deal that could close very soon.
LYON, AULAS CONFIRMS OFFERS FOR PAQUETA ‘: 15% AT MILAN
Money arriving in the coffers of Milan. As confirmed by President Aulas, Lyon would have received several offers for Paquetà between 60 and 70 million. The Rossoneri are entitled to 15% of the player’s resale and could therefore collect around 8 million. In particular, Newcastle’s interest seems strong on Paquetà.
AC MILAN DOESN’T TAKE IT BY DIALLO
The PSG redundancy list has just leaked to the public, and one of the hottest names is that of Abdou Diallo. The African champion has been in the sights of Maldini and Massara for some time, but as Calciomercato.com points out, Milan has currently set other priorities. First the offensive nodes of De Ketelaere and Ziyech will be resolved, then we can talk about the replacement of Romagnoli. What discourages the Rossoneri management is also the price set by the sports director Campos: 30 million is too high a figure for the Devil’s budget.
STERLING LIBERA ZIYECH
There was no need for confirmation, given that in fact he had already been informed that he was no longer part of the project, but Ziyech is increasingly distant from Chelsea and, consequently, increasingly closer to Milan. The Londoners have in fact closed with Manchester City for Sterling who, in fact, frees the Moroccan winger. During the week, the Rossoneri will try to find an agreement with the Blues on the loan formula and close the deal.
CALABRIA BLINDA LEAO: “MORE MORE TO DO”
With the renewal still in the balance, on Friday Rafa Leao published a post on social media in which he thanks everyone for the great season of last year (“I have goals to achieve, but I’m proud of last season’s results. They don’t make me lose motivation and concentration “) and Davide Calabria, the new AC Milan captain, immediately commented:” So much more to do, come on! “.
THE SANCHES DEAL LINKED TO THE RENEWAL OF LEAO?
Corriere dello Sport speaks of a “Mendes variable” in the Renato Sanches affair: the powerful agent follows both the midfielder and Rafael Leao, in negotiations with Milan for the renewal. For Sanches, the request for recruitment went from 3.5 million to 5 million, while for the AC Milan winger he is asking for € 7 million per season. Market intertwining that threatens to bring Sanches closer to Paris Saint-Germain.
