CM: Spartak Moscow now in for Milan midfielder – the asking price set

By Oliver Fisher -

We are one week into the January transfer window and developments seem to be happening all the time regarding potential incomings and outgoings for AC Milan.

Calciomercato.com report that ‘something has broken’ between Milan and Rade Krunic, and the parties are looking for a solution before the end of the month because even Stefano Pioli – his great defender in the summer – has admitted he can leave.

Fenerbahce were the team most strongly linked, but a new option has emerged because Spartak Moscow have swooped for the Bosnian midfielder and are preparing an attempt to bring him to Russia in this winter mercato.

The Turkish club tried again having already reached an agreement with the player in the summer without subsequently reaching an agreement with the Rossoneri, but they are yet to meet the asking price.

This is a situation that was confirmed recently by Geoffrey Moncada before the match against Empoli: “If the right offer doesn’t arrive, he won’t leave.” Message sent Fener: €5m plus bonuses are needed for Krunic to depart.

The same amount will be the starting point for discussions with Spartak Moscow, without closing the door to possible interests from Saudi Arabia too. The suitors for Krunic are increasing.

  1. A player does not have to do anything “wrong” to get himself sold to another club. He might have just won the domestic league, domestic cup, and the Champions League and become the club’s MVP of the season and still gets sold for a good price. Do not practice the habit of playing the victim. If Krunic must move on then so be it as all parties will benefit from the move. There is no right and wrong here.

  2. Lol how can Russia afford anyone? Their teams are essentially banned from even taking part in any European competition. Don’t put anything into this one. Plus we don’t want their blood money.

    I doubt the American owners are going to do any business with a team owned by an oil company that is under heavy economic sanctions.

    1. Oh But Arab Oil Money is OK? LMAO!!!

      Money is money. This is business. We’re talking about Krunic. They will take wherever 5mil comes from.

        1. Also I HIGHLY DOUBT that Russian team can even afford 5 million considering all the sanctions against the owning company and how they are basically cut out from any commercial deals outside of Russia.

          I want Krunic to leave as much as anyone else, but this is another rumor mill nonsense rumor. Just like that Arab oil money rumor that went dry.

          1. Lol you’re talking out of your ass, you know nothing. Russia and Russian companies are making more money than ever. The Chinese, Iran, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Jemen etc are all buying up all the surplus oil, gas, weapons etc that the West refuse to buy right now.

            I think they can afford 5mil.

            Money is green!

          2. I’m not talking out of anything. I’m stating absolute and total fact, and since you’re a russian simp it isn’t of surprise. These companies are nearing total bankruptcy, and the Chinese are buying oil at cut prices. Russian companies lose money, while China benefits.

            I state facts. So sorry it hurts you so much. Maybe you’re angry because the russian economy is such an absolute disaster and russia is losing in Ukraine so badly. How can someone lose so many aircraft against a country with such a small air force lol?

          3. Also Simp, China’s own economy isn’t exactly doing wonderful, and Iran, North Korea, PAkistan, Yemen… not exactly wealthy countries lol. Europe cut their entire energy dependency on russia.

            It’s foolish to think that Russia is in a good economic shape. Making more money than ever lmao lolololol we are LAUGHING AT YOU!

          4. goku like the west money are clean lol , i never see evils politician and businessmans like in the western countries goku you’re talking out of your ,,,,,,,,, ask just ask africans and asian , if i had to wrote about your western money come from im gonna get sick from thinking about it millions of kids died so so rich guy in western country get more richer , goku grow up and stop looking at the world through your cellphone screen

          5. Die hard fan… lmao don’t even try that line with me. You grow up. And you stop looking at russian propaganda for once. It might do you some good.

        2. You might be right. Redbird as an american company may not be able to do business with any Russian owned company. Obviously deals still happen with American companies but not heavily reported deals like sports.

          1. Italy has sanctions against Russia too. I don’t think they want to get into legal hot water with two different countries. American companies have cut back 90% of their business in Russia… so sure some deals still happen at a very small scale. But it’s often at their own risk and there is no insurance. Russia nationalized some companies and that scared off businesses.

  3. I’ll tell you what broke. What broke is Krunic’s desire to play for us because he wasn’t sold in the summer. My impression is that he had his heart set on leaving, and the club was basically like “unless an offer we can’t refuse arrives, you’re staying”. I think Krunic thought that was unfair, and I agree, as he wasn’t an undisputed starter, we had a bunch of new arrivals and, most importantly, we were unwilling to match the salary he was demanding to extend his contract. All of this would be disheartening for a player. Just let him go now for the best offer. It’s just the best decision for all parties.

  4. American businessmen legally cannot do business with Russia at this point. And that’s because of Congress passed legislation. I highly doubt Gerry Cardinale will want to get into hot water with US regulatory agencies and the US Congress.

    So this article is a whole lot of nonsense. And most of Europe, including Italy have sanctions against Russia. Ask yourself why Abramovich, as one example, was essentially driven out of England?

    We aren’t owned by the Chinese (lol, remember that one?), Indians, or by some other country that evades sanctions…

      1. let me guess… you’re not just a Simp for Putin… but also a Timp (Trump). Grow up, dude. Not everyone is going to agree with your narrow and inaccurate world view. I don’t even watch CNN. Funny how insults just fly around here sometimes… you got a lot of growing up to do, child.

  5. yeah you are right, name calling is childish LOL

    Simp, Timp, what ever you want bro At least I’m not a liberal Pimp, you got that one down pretty good.

  6. Better a liberal than a right wing goosestepping loser who only follows Putin’s order and is a lapdog. Disgusting that some people believe russian propaganda so easily without any real critical thinking.

    1. Critical thinking? You? Hahaha
      You don’t even know that most of the (ineffective) sports related sanctions levied against Russia have been lifted and yet you sit here and claim to be so enlightened and all-knowing throwing around stupid theories about the US government stopping Milan from doing business with Russian clubs bla bla… it don’t matter that Milan has American ownership, the US government has no jurisdiction over an Italian club you *uck-tard!

      I can’t belive idiots like you are still being produced these days, maybe AI can fix that in the future 🙂
