We are getting to that stage of the transfer window where bolder and bolder claims start to emerge, and the latest one involves a potential swap deal involving AC Milan and Juventus.
As reported by the newspaper Libero (via TuttoJuve), the CEO of Milan Giorgio Furlani is tasked with offloading players that Stefano Pioli has decided are not a part of his plans for the coming season.
Among those not called up for the first round of the new season was winger Alexis Saelemaekers (24), who is clearly down the pecking order after the signings of Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze.
Juventus are keen on the Belgian, and an exchange with Moise Kean (23) has been hypothesised, given the centre-forward is not considered unsellable by Massimiliano Allegri and Milan need a player in that role.
The idea teases the two managements, but Saelemaekers is also on the wish list of Spanish clubs such as Villarreal and Real Betis, as well as Marseille in France.
straight swap?? i’d take that in a heartbeat. i think kean’s value is much higher than alexis so not sure if it’s a true straight swap being proposed though
There is no way swap deal, salad price only 7-10m euro while kean 20-25m euro
Would definitely take it, but would be a weird move for Kean as I’m not sure he’d get much more game time. He’d be better served going somewhere he’ll be a starter for a couple of years. I also assume he’s paid a lot more than Alexis.
Where would we use Kean? He’s not a 9 and I don’t see Pioli changing tactics.
Kean is an awful player and definitely not what we need
Milan is always the loosing party when dealing with the old lady…
Exactly!
Giroud might be scoring but he is getting old. Please make the deal with Krunic.
Kean could play no. 9. Plus he will get more playing time, if we don’t use Okafor as a CF.
At this point if Pioli losses a game, it’s all on him. He has everything.
