AC Milan have moved quickly on the mercato since putting their management in place, which is something that has surprised Andrea Longoni.
Goncalo Ramos was announced as the club’s new striker earlier in the week, and it seems Mario Gila is just one step away. If the Spaniard arrives, then Milan will have strengthened the team with two very good players before the start of the pre-season.

Of course, the Rossoneri are not expected to stop there, with more signings on the horizon. However, it has to be said that they have acted on the most important positions quickly, not letting negotiations drag into late August.
No more soap operas
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, Andrea Longoni highlighted how there hasn’t just been a change of pace, but also a change in their methods. Even agent commissions have been agreed too, which were typically a big no-no under Giorgio Furlani’s leadership.
“It’s surprising how, after so many years, Milan are managing the transfer market with such discretion, aiming to provide the chef (the head coach). This should be natural for a football club, but hasn’t been seen in recent times at Casa Milan.
“The way in which the transfer market is being conducted is also surprising: significant sums for transfer fees, salaries, and, it seems, even commissions. Without negotiations that become soap operas and often end badly.
“The timing is surprising too. In recent years, Milan have often closed key deals in the last minute. This time, it’s different. However, whether this will be a fresh start or a temporary improvement will be decided on September 1st, once the transfer window has closed,” he wrote.
Very good read. When you have competent people this is the result.
Koje bre kompetentne ljude? Ko nam je SD? Sve ovo su mogli/morali da urade i pre dve-tri godine, citava ova prica moze da se srusi samo tako ako nesto podje po zlu, nikakva tu stabilna struktura ne postoji.
I don’t think Cardinale had a choice after how the season ended and than how he didn’t manage to appoint new directors etc. the only way to keep our good players and fans a bit optimistic was by spending. So I don’t believe he is doing it by choice.
ThEn. That’s exactly why we ought to be very cautious from now on…
To su bas gluposti ljudi
Kad pogledaš, Milan je u transfere ulozio 500 do 600 milijjna.
Pogodjeni transferi su Tonali, Reijnders, Thiaw I Hernandez.
Hrpa promašenih transfera.
A Leaa se sad svi zele riješiti.
I misle 70 mil Gonzalo ce rijesiti sve probleme. A sto ako flopa?
Let’s wait and see. We’ve signed one player lol
