Report: Musacchio issues Milan ultimatum, starting tomorrow he will start listening to other offers

Mateo Musacchio will reportedly wait for Milan to raise funds for him until the end of the day and if they don’t then he’ll consider other offers.

It is well known that Vincenzo Montella and Adriano Galliani’s number one target for the defense is Villarreal’s Mateo Musacchio and an agreement with the player was already reached a while ago.

However, Milan are unable to close the deal with the Spanish club due to the very simple reason that they don’t have any money right now. To have funds available, Milan will either have to sell players (primarily Carlos Bacca, who already rejected West Ham) or have the preliminary with the Chinese signed (provided that they do actually transfer Milan money for the mercato).

But Bacca is still here (will return to training today) and the fact is that the preliminary will not be signed at least until next week, so the mercato remains stuck. And according to Gazzetta dello Sport’s Wednesday edition, Musacchio has informed Milan that he will only wait for them until tonight.

If Mateo learns that Milan don’t have the money for him then, the sports daily suggests, he will start listening to offers from other clubs both in Serie A and in other leagues. The Rossoneri are definitely not strangers to seeing their targets go to other clubs and it can happen again.

The 25-year-old center back is one of the top targets of Milan along with Piotr Zielinski who is also wanted by Liverpool. Milan are also linked with Jose Sosa from Besiktas and Clement Grenier of Lyon.

Cant still believe we have gone this low. Thank you b & g

I don’t trust Gazzetta, but this seems very possible. Milan could lose out on Zielniski, Pjaca, Mussachio, Sosa all in one campaign. A few years ago, these players would have been dying to join Milan. Also what is taking so long with the Chinese? Somethings seem very unusual, so many unexpected delays. Look at Inter for example, their sale was so much smoother and faster than ours. Very weird case, we don’t even know the names of the investors. We need to start signing good players soon, because another year out of the CL is just unacceptable for a club… Read more »

Well f***!
This is what happens when you sit on your ass all day and not make moves that will steer the club forward Bellusconi, players will decide not to join Milan because of it’s lack of insight, and the ones who suffer are the poor Milanistas around the world dying to see Milan make a comeback! Too many delays and postponing the deadline that it’s almost 2017 and still no new signings from the so-called “Chinese Investors”…i have a feeling Kaka might just return to Milan on a free transfer…

Ink

Kaka probably still would do better job than all other current midfielders combined :P

Low

PREACH!!! Kaka would’ve shown he current midfielders how it’s done! Our passing are terrible for one!

It’s so sad Milan can’t even buy a 25 mil player . this is embarrassing . I will always support the club but if Berlusconi doesn’t sell the club to the Chinese I will lose all hope for Milan to ever go back to the Top level . we just can’t do it without money . it’s not possible .

It´s time to face the fact, this summer won’t come with any new changes. We will basically have the same players as last season tough with coach that actually have a style of play. If I could dream I would see a new cb joinig us, musacchio sure would be great but I rather we go for mustafi since he was cheaper and also younger. Bring in a CM that knows how to pass the ball and control the play, and also get a skillfull CM with pace since we also already got Kucka who is a warrior and will… Read more »

I reckon Kovacic. ZieliÅ„ski also got pace with some good dribbling skills but less passing vision and maturity to Kovacic I would like both if possible however. Regarding Mustafi/Mussachio, I think we should generally look at a player’s talent first then the rest.. Unless you know that Mustafi would offer more based on your own opinion of course I think being younger, Italian ,cheaper Etc should come next. Personally I believe in Montella and if he insist on Mussachio who’s not that old either then he most have found something more in him perhaps better suitable to his game approach.… Read more »

Things is not looking good next season will be the same or even worse if things dont start evolving

And after coach will be blame and condemned.. Screw the old glory… We want to be known now… Past is past, if SB can’t invest 70% ,he should sell to ppl that will invest 90%

Where are the fans in Italy. It is time for REBELLION. Come on brothers … they are killing our team. Do something NOW.

Sheva

This is also 1 thing I never understood about fans in milano. What are they waiting for? They are destroying milan, not B & G. I wish we could swap the milan fans for the juventus fans. Our fans are like women.. nooo please give him a chance.. noo its getting better ( how i dont know). noo forza milan no matter what..noo im always here for you .. bla bla bla I bet B & G is doing this and laughing at us at the same time. I would too.. they sold us that the best player we deserve… Read more »

Milan is dying with the hands of Berlo in coffin so please sons and daughters of all man should response the situation of their father, other wise Milan will sink like ship

Grenier would be worth of the camble if we would get him cheap. The guy is talented but he has been so unfortunate with his injury problems. Not sure if really injury prone or just unlucky.

henriano

Have now become rhe most poorest club in Italy? I have seen torino made two signings a day,whats happening? So without bacca leaving no arrengement for any transfer,just have a feeling balu is not going to sell milan at the end of the day.

Kourosh

This is what I meant when I said players and clubs won’t wait for Milan with the promise of money when others are offering it. Some guy was saying it’s no big deal we can find agreement with all the players we want and they will wait for the Chinese to buy then we’ll pay. Seriously, how is that going to work?! It’s a short and competitive window you either pay and close the deal fast or you risk losing the player.

Vic11

Something very strange about this sale.. why we doesnt even try to loan player with an option to buy? So it doesnt matter even we doesnt hve the money right now.

ColmC

I have a serious bad feeling about this sale it just doesn’t seem right, how we have sunk to all time lows I have counted 5/6 players we may have lost in this summers transfer market due to funds not being there, if it actually does arrive I would prefer to go for rugani centre back partnering romangoli, don’t see the link with ardbeloa seeing as we’re top heavy with full backs, hope de sciglio continues his good form, midfield is where we need a top playmaker instead of Montolivo he is just not good enough anymore, give Suso a… Read more »

coin for milan

Milanista121

You can’t blame him for it either to be honest. All players need a proper pre-season, especially when it comes to a joining a new team and/or league. And even more especially when it comes to an injury prone player like him, so he can prevent injuries.
Out of all the centre backs out there, based on potential, he seems like the best candidate… so I do hope we get him.
Would be great if we managed to get him somehow during this week.

Suracho

Who the f**k do you think you are to give our father berlusconi the ultimanum . NO PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN OUR FATHER BERLUSCONI AND MY HEART AC MILAN. If tomorrow is the day you start negotiating with bpl clubs go ahead you have our father berlusconi full permission to go to a plastic league. Besides on a side note i love our transfer guru (who is the best negotiator and director of sports btw) MR. GALLIANI is doing a great job on this mercato. Our squad needs a midfielder and a defender which will be funded by our father… Read more »

Suracho, You are also brainless bro.

Suracho

WHAT???? Better be brainless and a troll rather than being ungrateful to our father berlusconi. Sometimes i wonder what might our father berlusconi thinking afte 30 years of service this is what his sons are upto” Sell the club to chinese” “You are brainless ” Gosh i wonder why are people urging him to sell his baby to some sony wou guy (name sounds like an electrician). This is what you all ungrateful milan fans deserve a electrician running our beloved milan rather than the most sporting and brilliant presodent our father mr .berlusconi

sunshinekaka

Comment: And the next thing you’ll hear from berlusconi in an interview when the fake Milan sale collapses, “I want to sale Milan in a hand that will make it great again but the Chinese can’t do that”. At the end we end up not signing any player and end up in 10th place. After that they fire the coach and hire another youth team coach. F**k B and G

Jibola

I don’t want him because he’s such a big risk for the price considering his injuries. Rugani will be cheaper and better and with Palletta, Milan center back position will be solid.

Pa ibra

Maybe he’s better than Rugani who’s also priced at around 30m btw. Dont worry to much about his history with an injury I’m sure Milan are aware of it and believed he has good chance of being injury free

Milanista121

It’s also due to his injuries that we are about to get him for this price, his buy out clause is 50 million and if he was fit, I doubt they would let him go for even 30 million to be honest.

Pa ibra

Sure

RossoKaka

this is sickening… Pjaca, zielinski, Mussachio they all tried to wait for this management to get it together because they actually respect the badge. But i think they are all running out of patience

Paolo

wait a minute! if we dnt sell bacca we cnt close musacchio deal ryt? even sosa? (musacchio 30mill n sosa 5-7 mill)if torino can signe 2 players already i tink those deals shud worth more than 7mill,n dat simply mean torino is evn richer than milan pressently n we finished above them in d league,n also got 2 d copper italia final.hmm mr B&G shud tell us wot went wrng wit d club fund,4get abt d chinese, or hw manage we re as bankrupt as Donadoni Parma. Seria D downloading…!

dibal clement badibanga

Who is gonna save ac milan because B and G they are killing our team

FdL

This have been a rollercoaster, I wish it came out a documentary or a film about Berlusconi’s era afterwards. And the takeover, we went from Jack Ma (net worth ca 23b $) to Robin Li (11b) and now Sunny “Who” Wu

If this transfer window is “pokemon go” gameplay. The other team already got strong Pokemon then still hunting to get stronger, on the other hand, we only sitting on our chairs. Lol..

xtfui

Situation in Milan is getting worse and worse everyday, no one want’s to join us and no one want’s to buy players which we need to get rid of and Menez is refusing offers, but if we get new owners and buy one defender probably Musachio one attacking midfielder like Andre Gomes, then get rid of Honda, Menez, Luiz Adriano and keep Bacca then i think it would be fine until winter transfers. Of course i would like half squad to be changed, but that for now seems impossible.

Milan420 Sd

I don’t believe Berlusconi. I truly believe they have another 3-5 mil to get him. Milanistis we r being lied to.

ilkapitano

there is no negotiation between F**k Berlusconi with china consortium, he just made a story like kojak did few years ago with title of “mr X”, so milan will ending this mercato with another garbage player..

Hahaha this suracho is at it again. This mad man hahaha. Still Berlusconi. Even Berlusconi, at the right price wants to sell Milan but suracho is still ranting on. Just like Hitler is dead n he still wants Nazism back. Suracho sounds like a garbage name. Can we get rid of this guy from Milan fan list. This ungrateful guy is trying to kill our hopes. Berlusconi already said that he is not funding any transfer anymore. Sonny Wu is just a broker a middleman. Suracho, either you need mew glasses or your English is terrible.

Didnt u read the news? They all said that even when/if the deal is completed, the chinese will only provide 50 m or even 20 m for this summer mercato. I know ur chinese so its natural to defend ur own but u have to see this situation from both perspectives.

Milan10

In a way im glad this is happening to milan because when milan finally rise again like phoenix from ashes just like in late 80s it will feel indescribably peachy

I don’t defend chinese. I am a bilingual and the good thing about being a bilingual is that we think and act rationally as we are exposed to both the east and the west. I have never read anything about 50 million a season. The info that I read is either 100 or 200 a season. Why would anyone spend about 800 million to purchase a business and then no money to further the business? If milan is making profit, then people would not mind spending 800 million and then reaping passive income. Why would anyone use 800 million to… Read more »

Milan10

Every milanisti has read about those 100 – 200 m transfer budget since weeks ago but i dont think it will materialized in this mercato as the negotiations itself will only be concluded in september.
Many news in italian said recently that if the take over is completed then the chinese will provide 50 m, not 100 m, to buy players. Which is funny because by september the market will be long closed so theres no point in providing those money

ck

What most of us have read is Berlusconi made the Chinese commit to a huge amount of transfer fee. So whether u choose to believe Berlusconi or italian papers, it’s up to u. All i want to know is when this deal will go through or will it even go through. Having the right owners be it chinese arabs i don’t care. Even if i have to sacrifice one mercato, so be it. For long term, we must have the right owners. No thoir nor the liverpool owners. You see i don’t defend chinese as Thoir is an Indon Chinese,… Read more »

Jody Bispham

Milan had been the preferred destination for Musacchio, and for that reason he didn t bother listening to any other proposals, but the delay has cast doubt in the mind of the player, and he now has second thoughts about holding out for the transfer to the Serie A giants.
