Milan keep thinking about strengthening the squad and are interested in signing another striker.
The return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems unlikely at this point in the transfer market and Milan are thinking about other names for the frontline.
Adriano Galliani was yesterday in a meeting with midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia of Monaco to try and convince him to join Milan but the Rossoneri are also looking for more attackers.
Milan have Suso, Stephan El Shaarawy and a returning M’Baye Niang already in the squad (not to mention Jeremy Menez, Alessio Cerci and Hachim Mastour) but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Italia, they are considering to sign another second striker and have a shortlist.
Galliani has reportedly already had contact with the agent of Manchester City’s Stevan Jovetic. The former Viola man could become surplus to requirements and apparently wishes to return to the peninsula. Inter are also interested in the player. Chelsea-owned Mohamed Salah is another player who is of interest for Milan and the Rossoneri could try to sign him if he doesn’t stay at Fiorentina.
GNK Dinamo Zagreb’s 20-year-old Marko Pjaca is another name and Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the Rossoneri are serious about the Croatian and have made first approaches.
Pls try all your best and get him for us…and dont let go of El Shaarawy and Hachim Mastour they are our MILAN
if the new formation is true it looks hard for SES, but maybe a change in position is just what he needs
Well not too bad bt I tink jovetic is d better of dem all.. We really nid 2 start buyin cos all dis rumours r getin too much bt I k dis transfer wld b gud..
Forwards are the not the main problem here! We need to fix the midfield and defense. That should take priority. We simply let in too many goals and are not dynamic enough in the middle of the park. We need a reliable CB who is great with the ball on his feet. We can’t just rely on De Jong dropping way back to start an attacking move. This happened during Allegri’s tenure and again during Inzaghi’s and left us very predictable. We need as many midfielders in the oppositions half. When it comes to restructuring we should really learn from… Read more »
Milan down through the ages has always had at least one world class defender Does nobody else seem a little uneasy with how little it seems to be talked about us signing one? I know its great to have all these high profile strickers being lined up to bolster our attack but whats the use in scoring a load of goals when you concead more?? To be honest I think if we got Martinez, kondogbia and another midfielder I’d concentrate fully on a proper centre back We already have some really good players who if coached correctly could be great… Read more »
I would love to see pair of Hummels – Howedes in Milan… It would cost us 50m but we would have strongest defence in Italy..
our first signing of the season is rodrigo ely who is a cb. so know your fact first
Ely is a youth player who hasn`t proven anything yet. We need to sign a CB that is good enough to just walk in the starting XI
That’s all well and good but Ely isn’t exactly tried and tested
Do you not think he’d prosper with someone to look up to and emulate and see how its done everyday in training? Even the very very best i.e. Maldini had Baresi to learn from
You don’t get second chances at clubs like Milan especially center backs where one mistake costs you a goal and probably 3 points so why risk him and throw him in at the deep end where he could ruin his chances
No we need a quality center back still
Pjaca is great, he is more CAM than ST… But im afraid that he is not yet ready for Milan level… He is bigger talent than kovacic in his years…
And if we sign Martinez, i would prefer Salah over Jovetic… Cause he can also play in midfield…
Milan channel reported that Milan’s first assault will be on attackers and midfielders, defenders will be evaluated in second part of summer mercato
I’m a bit confused right now, Juve are about to sign Mandzukic for only 18m, got Khedira for free…Those bastards. At the same time we are about to splash out the 35m for a guy who is in the same age and not a better player”Jackson Martinez”. So far this mercato has only been small talk, no action as usual. We could only end up with players like Eder, Soriano, and Astori. Mediocre guys who we really don’t need. Kondogbia is a good player but 35m for him to is also to much when you have a player like kovacic… Read more »
Totally agree with u, although Kondogbia is one of my favourite, 30-40 millions and a salary of 4 millions plus bonuses is too much for this kid. With that kind of amount they could easily get Verratti or better yet, get at least two talented players from the list u posted
Dear Rossoneri Fans Let me start off by saying its been a while since we are so active on the transfer window ( Not Even Opened Yet ) and thats all thanks to Berlusconi, who realized that he cant do it without an outside investment, Yes he did ruin our image for the past 2 years but i believe he did his best taking in considirations the amout of money he lost in his Political and Personal Interests ! But all that is out of the way and now we finally can go back to challenge for Titles and regain… Read more »
CB – bring Ogbonna – ok, but I would keep Paletta – he has been solid this year
Balo and Menez – hell no, imagine having Balo, Cerci, Ibra and Menez in one team, there would be fight every match in between theese players.. I would only have Ibra, Cerci maybe needs time, but balo and menez is a big hell no…
good article. one big problem is that we CAN’T have 30 players in our roster. even madrid or barca has only 24/25 players which include all the competition. milan are playing in serie a only, the maximum should be 23 players. 6 attackers, 7 midfield, 8 defenders with 3 goalkeepers
pls revise your article if you can. thanks
Loving the Jovetic idea.
We have agreement with Monaco over Kondogbia :))) only thing left is Kondogbia’s agreement and paperwork… Miha said he would play 4312 so for now: —————— Lopez Abate/DeSc-Paletta-???-Antonelli Kondogbia — De Jong — Bonaventura ————— El Shaarawy ——— Niang ———- Jackson I think that this setup is solid, but its missing a bit of creativity… If we sign one class creative CAM (like Isco??) and class defender like hummels we could do this: —————— Lopez Abate/DeSc-Paletta-Hummels-Antonelli Kondogbia — De Jong — Bonaventura —————— Isco ——— Jackson — El Shaarawy This squad would have all what it takes – young (only… Read more »
I don`t think we will be able to buy isco, even if we could, RM would probably demand 50-60m for him. Hummels will probably cost more than 30 million as well. I would just play honda behind the strikers, or bonaventura. Otherwise a very decent line up you have there. I would prefer 4-2-3-1 though:
————————-Lopez——————————
Abate–Mexes/Paletta–Hummels/new CB—-Antonelli
————De Jong———–Kondogbia———-
Cerci/Niang——–Honda/Bona————–SeS
———————-Martinez————————–
i agree wt u but we can only be successful if ses gives us at least 15 goals and niang at least 10 goals. as for martinez i am sure and hopefull that he will give us at least 25 goals
Hummels is ca 50 mio. Good cb are really expensive, but i think Varane or La Porte are really good and not that expensive right now. Doria is also a good future CB. Or maybe Balanta from River Plate. I like the formation, but i would prefer playing Bonaventura as AMF and buy other CM. Maybe Tieleman or Witsel. If not buy someone like Draxler (35 mio), Isco is gonna stay in RM and is more expensive than 40 mio. Think Draxler is also a better player than him. De Bruyne is also really good. But he must cost 50… Read more »
Why would we buy Isco when Oscar is availed for 22mil pounds
I hope its just smokescreen play by Galliani, maybe our real target is central defender.
I love Jovetic and would be very very happy if he comes as he understands Serie A better than the other options and better attacker.
BAD NEWS
Looks like muntari wants to stay according to milan news, but up to sinisa
We don’t need another forwards!!!
We need a man up front like Martinez and that’s all!!!!
We just need CB’s and creative midfielders!!
Forza Milan!!
No European cup, no big Squad!!!!!
buy 2 strikers j.martinez 35m and luiz Adriano free and second striker jovetic 15m and CAM felipe anderson 40m midfielders betolacci 15m jose mauri 5m and kondogbia 30m and defenders howedes 15m and schar 10m
4-3-2-1
lopez
abate/mds – rami/howedes – schar/paletta/ely – antonelli
kondogbia/de jong – mauri/monty – bertolacci/Bonaventura
honda/f.anderson
j.martinez/l.adriano – el shy/jovetic
bertolacci is going to roma
menez out, jovetic in.
I think B&G need to focus on the defence since Milan has been leaking goals left, right & centre. To be precise, Milan conceded 101 goals these past two seasons so B&G, get your priorities right!
Anyhow it feels nice now that top players are constantly being linked with Milan once again.
Forza Milan!
They will focus on defense later in the mercato, as of right now Pazzini is essentially gone, so we dont have a true striker in the squad. Its kind of an issue. Martinez isnt official yet, Ibra doesnt seem to be moving anywhere, so as of right now our lone striker would be Menez. Im not comfortable with that, are you?
@acmilan: #ACMilan will play a friendly match against @OL on July 18, at the Stade de Gerland
Meaning, Milan has probably acquired imbula. Forza Galliani!!!
Imbula is an OM player not OL
MARTINEZ
JOVETIC SALAH
TURAN
KONDOGBIA VAN GINKEL
ANTONELLI ABATE
HUMMELS DRAGOVIC
PERIN
I hope Mr.Bee, Berlu and Galliani watch this..
And where are the Italian players? This is not Inter!!!!!!!
We need an core based on Italian players

Jovetic is a player I’ve loved for years and Marko Pjaca is supposed to be the new Savicevic which sounds good to me, but this transfer merry-go-round will drive you crazy if you let it.
A new Savicevic would be awesome. I still remember the 94 champions league final. What a game by that man
Man, he’s my favorite player of all time. I don’t know anything about this Pjaca but if he’s only half as good as Dejan it’d be amazing.
My father in law would love it. Hes serbian lol
Just an advice to all fellow Milanisti, please use your brain with certain rumours going around and see the trends. I ask you all to think twice before believe 1. SERBIAN RUMOURS- When Leonardo took over, we were linked to Dede, Miranda, Diego Alves, Hernanes, Ganso, Lucas, Oscar, Melo, Keirrison and even Neymar. NONE came. When Seedorf came, we were linked to all sorts of Dutch and Eredivise players like Veltman, Maher, Wijandlum, Blind, Martins Indi, Willems etc. NONE came. Now Mihajlovic. So expect every Serbian except Llajic to be linked to Milan. 2. FORMER TEAM RUMOURS- When Allegri took… Read more »
pls try and get him
Ok guys,some basic info about PJACA. As i said before,im from croatia,so i know him really well. IMO he is a world class potential,great pace,dribbling, flair, a true arrow down the wing. Having that said, that is also my main issue, he is foremost a winger and/or a CAM. He isnt a striker. He reminds me a bit like Niang. Is that type of player what we really need?More or less we have his qualities in the likes of SES, Niang,Cerci and more or less Menez. He will likely become better than them, but in other hand,if we have limited… Read more »
Thanks for the info, I’m not familiar with him at all
For a second I thought that was Sergio Aguero
Suggestions IMO: Jerome Boateng, Hummels, Juan Mata, Ozil, wouldn’t that be nice
Diego Lopez Abate Boateng Hummels De Sciglio De Jong Van Ginkel Ozil El Shaarawy Menez Mastour
Close the deal for Kondogbia now Galliani! Now! Don’t let them merdas beat u! U suppose to be Da Guru! Or steal Imbula from them dirty fake slicks across the road and give this hesitator Kondogbia an ultimatum “take it or leave it” and go for other targets worthy of 35 M. We are MILAN ee don’t beg!
Can we just splash 80mill on aguero and have a world class player in milan??

He is awfully expensive and supposedly we offered him a 4m a year salary plus 1m in bonuses of we qualify for the champions league. If he would rather join inter than us with that offer, then let him go. But don’t worry inter will be waiting to pounce on our next target.
If kondogbia is seriously considering the fake counterpart to us inter merda then galliani should just give the man a final take it or leave it ultimatum, latest answer by tomorrow. What I don’t understand is how on earth is kondogbia even considering them to us.
Sorry to be the one to break this. Looks like Inter has Kondogbia. They are meeting at the hotel right now and an intermediary was called and Kondogbia brother is also there. This is why I hate when transfers get leaked. I hope Galliani can still pull it off but I’m doubting it as of now
Y would anyone go to inter lolz or any other Italian team we Milan is the most colourful glorious n classiest team ever
Maybe Galliani should go for Imbula instead, a cheaper but still prospectful player similar to Kondogbia. And maybe he can get Mendy in package as well. Forget Kondogbia, 4 million salary with bonuses is too much for him
What do you guys think about Simone Verdi? Should we buy him out?
