Alessandro Buongiorno is likely to leave Torino in the upcoming summer transfer window, a report claims, and AC Milan are one of several teams keen on him.
Milan expressed their interest in the Torino captain during the January transfer window. However, club president Urbano Cairo didn’t want to sell his star mid-season, though a summer exit appears to be on the cards for the 24-year-old.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via FcInterNews), there could well be a three-way race in Italy to land Buongiorno because Napoli have also entered the race to sign him.
Torino value him at €35-40m as per the paper and Milan are also interested in him, along with city rivals Inter. In short, the auction has already started and the possible inclusion of some foreign clubs must also be considered.
Aurelio De Laurentiis would also like Mario Hermoso, who is also on Inter’s list, but the Spaniard’s salary demands are high as he will leave Atletico Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Milan are making plans for the summer transfer window and one of their priorities is to sign a centre-back. We revealed some information earlier this week regarding a name that has entered the crosshairs: Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini.
One thing we’ve learned over the years: If Napoli or Inter want him, Milan cannot (and will not) compete.
Another thing we learned.. Milan rarely buys from their home league nowadays
Inter isn’t going to be able to be free spending much longer. Nobody is paying the requested price for Buongiorno.
IM cannot buy before sell their player even if they win scudetto ,most likely they will go aiming hermoso ( free transfer and familiar with three CB system formation) . Napoli ? Well they dont play on CL next season and bungi want club that play on CL . Obstacle maybe torino president , he wont give discount
The model is Buy Low, Sell High. 35-40 mil is a already steep starting point. Moncada will find cheaper options out of Germany/France.
Yup, the goal is not to buy players close to their peak which have inflated prices, rather it’s to buy players that are estimated to have a lower price than the current value.
Have a feeling that we have a cap of 30 million per player, possibly higher one only for the striker.
All this is easier said than done, imo for a couple of positions you need to bite the bullet if it allows you to give shape to the team and raise it to a new level…all considered, I’d take another Kjaer or Giroud in a heartbeat even if that might not be a clear upgrade to what we have.
