French forward Marcus Thuram has issued a set of demands for his new club which could potentially scare AC Milan away from any potential deal, a report claims.
As has been reported by Sport Mediaset (via Pianeta Milan), the Borussia Monchengladbach striker is clear about what he expects to receive from any club that wants to sign him.
Milan have been very firm on their interest for a few months now and given he is available on a free transfer, it would certainly be a great move to get done for the Rossoneri.
It may never happen though, as the player has asked for a €10 million signing-on fee and a four-year contract that will see him earn €7m per season.
Those figures immediately put him in the same financial arena as Rafael Leao who is the most important and valuable player in the squad. Milan could be forced to walk away if he stands by those demands.
But he is not Leao. The end. Def not a 7mil sallary player. Go for Scamaca or Retegui before they are taken. Roma just started to move for Scamaca.
100%. One season with 13 goals in 30 games does not justify 7m per year. What has football come to?
The game has been bastardized just like everything else. We are living in end times where everything is justified by one thing… money. So gross. Go watch games even from 10 years ago, so much better, so much tougher and less primadonna players. Nowadays you have 1 good season these players think they’re God. Social media caused this crap. What a joke. Go for Scamacca asap, I agree.
Dude, Scamacca has 49 goals in his entire career at 24 and he was paid 40M€ and I think he earn 5M per year. How? He should score that in 2 seasons max to be paid like that. He played good half of 1 season and everything else was a big failure, like the future will be for him. You can just see it. He was still be paid that much and someone will pay a big fee for him again. He is useless with 2 legs. Just watch how right I am.
If we go to compete with Roma for signing someone, then it is a little chance we will win…
Hope my thought is wrong…
Yes, yes, he is empty headed and will sign for nothing and be paid like the cleaner at PSG just to play for Milan. 😀 And Scamacca is such a failure, good thing Milan won’t have the chance to sign him.
Move on please
(we can’t even beat Roma on salary offerings nowadays, let alone our having any sort of negotiation skills)
The new Redbird era….
To me its obvious that we are not trying to sign Thuram has he already said months ago that he wanted €7m per season from is next club so i really think we are working to sign someone that media linked with us before or some unknown player!
A 10m signing on fee is ludicrous for a player of his quality. Lol if that’s what he wants then I’d rather go for Beto and Colombo as a backup for Giroud.
We will end up with Giroud, Colombo, and Origi.
We can sign Mehdi,he is more mature than Thuram.
The Fewnch League 2 Striker i think he plays Metz and Feynood Striker aswll as Victor Baniface of USG in Belgium.
And For No 10 the best is the Armenian Eduardo
Ben Brereton Díaz is also a striker that will be free and he is kind of similar to Thuram. Just younger. Seems like a cheap option that may pay off, the guy has an eye for goal almost like Pipo Inzagi.
I hope Moncada takes a look at this guy.
Apa yang bisa moncada lakukan?? Hanya mengamati, negosiasi??? Nol besar…
First off who does this guy think he is that he deserves 7m per season? Let him go to psg and rot on the bench because he’s not an elite forward.
This also shows that this redbird aren’t serious about making milan an elite team again because they wouldn’t spend that much money whether the player was worth it or not.
What does player demand have to do with Rebird?
Anyone remember Renato Sanches – he went to PSG for the money, look at him now 🙂 heading to Turkey LOL
Some players never learn from others mistakes..
I knew this guy was a fraud – he might need to adjust his thinking – move on
you guys wanting ligue 2 and efl championship strikers is hilarious. Look at CDK who came from a top 10 European league now we’re looking at second division players lol. These guys should be signed by Lecce or Verona and at best Fiorentina not a starter for a team that wants to win the scudetto.
lol never seen more stupid comment than this…
Bennacer came from team that was relegated to Serie B,
Shewa came from Dinamo Kyiv,
Kaka from Brazil,
Kalulu never played a game in senior football before Milan,
The list goes on and on…
Krunic and Tonali also came from teams that were relegated to Serie B.
relegated to serie b is different from never playing in top flight, most of these players were also expected to be depth when they first came in as well. Kaka is a one in a million , you wont get lucky that often
😀 Al Bundy (ed o’neil) my hero, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.
I agree though i t doesnt matter where players arrives from if the talent is great enough even if Al Bundy wouldnt want a japanese car he might want kamarda to join us 😛
Milan not really for football yet.
Why do you think Maldini didn’t bother approaching him? 10 mill plus 28 million euros is why for 13 goals is why he chose to go for Berardi who can score as many, then assist 8 to 10,while being proven in Italy. This is why he clashed with management, they are idiots who can’t understand who to pursue and who to ignore, this guy is looking for a pay off of a lifetime. They wasted time instead of securing targets who can actually offer garantees. Berardi at 4 to 5 mill on 4 years and a 25 million fee is a few million more that will give you a return on your investment. It comes with a cost because there is assured value involved.
This 👆
That’s my impression too. M&M may have not pursued certain targets because they either rhad the info that it wasn’t going to turn out well and when they no longer pursued the target ppl label it a failure when in reality the demands weren’t in line with the club’s policy and they went on to other things. (Im.sure it was the same with freebie Dybala, it’s surprising to hear ppl in the club wanted him but had a wage policy which didn’t even meet his demands. His Roma salary is 14m gross with bonuses). Now it seems same thing is happening just with new management. And time.is being lost on legit targets
38 Million investment on a maybe, vs 45 on a sure thing? Berardi, in urgent situations can play as a striker too. The difference between CL and EL, guess what? It was 13 goals or 10 assists. The agents know the monetary value/equivalent opportunity cost of a player to a club. Their job is to make sure clubs pay their clients their fair share for the money the help the club generate. We saw what maybes and future potential investments did this year, they can all pan out in 2 years. Had Juve not been penalized, that last terrible transfer window’s budget based on the owners policy would have set us back for 2 to 3 seasons. Minimum spend is required to garantee revenues.
38 Million investment on a maybe, vs 45 on a sure thing? Berardi, in urgent situations can play as a striker too. The difference between CL and EL, this year, literally is guess what? It was 13 goals or 10 assists, Berardi. The agents know the monetary value/equivalent opportunity cost of a player to a club. Their job is to make sure clubs pay their clients their fair share for the money the help the club generate. We saw what maybes and future potential investments did this year, they can all still pan out in 2 years. Had Juve not been penalized, that last terrible transfer window’s budget based on the owners policy would have set us back for 2 to 3 seasons. Minimum spend is required to garantee revenues. We have owners that think someone to be above that. Everyone points to other teams spending less than us, they spent 3x more to build those squads and had few signings to top off their teams.
So where’s the Milan’s fan growing up and first team guarantee factors now? Let’s be real.
Next!
Shocking LOLOLOLOLO
Without Maldini’s Charm Milan cant buy any player
If the new working group cannot identify which players can realistically be signed, Gerry better rehire Maldini.
Exactly..perhaps M&M were waaay ahead of the game..maybe the players they signed were The ones that were realistic given how tight those budget rules are. Not going over 6m per season severely restricts the level of quality you’re looking at. Maybe just maybe we’re in the Vranckx -Origi region and not the Thuram-Ndka level lol 😂
They still working . How can you judge them cannot identify? Signing player not like magic , moncada become DS how long ? Not enough 2 week and you judge them cannot identify ? You need to change owner if want maldini back , and thats not gonna happen in 1-2 years , look liverpool fans want that henry / FSG american out but until now FSG still owner. Maldini is gone , move on
If a player salary request is 7 million, it’s obvious we can’t sign him. That is easy enough to put him off target list. Just stop pursuing unrealistic target, it’s just a waste of time.
Exactly. Why waste time. Personally I think it’s all PR Spin by Redbird. They have NO intention of buying players like Thuram because any competent person in management has an idea of the requests of a player because they have relationships with all the agents. But that is likely the problem. Furlani has ZERO relationships with any agents and Moncada as a scout may have a few but scouts do NOT speak and meet with Agents of players on a daily basis like a sporting director like M&M would have. So either this is happening because Furlani and co are incompetent OR because they have ZERO relationships with player agents. Either way we are fooooked
Can we stop it with the “We can’t sign anyone without Maldini” BS??? Did Maldini attract any word class talent during his time? NO. He went to the diamonds in the rough that Moncada found and brought them over. They DEVELOPED into the Leao’s, Theo’s, Bennacer’s and Tonali’s of today.
For some reasons, many people here think ACM is not AC milan but AC Maldini instead lol
Moncada FOUND….but Maldini is BRING them to the club…
Can Moncada do that two things for Milan…?? Lets hope and pray…
If no restricted transfer budget…Maldini can attract any talented players. How you attract players with no money in your pocket…??
Give Moncada a rest, it is unfair that Cardinale force him to do 3-persons work. Moncada is a scout, his expertise is finding talent, not convincing them to join and negotiating the deal.
If you bring up Moncada, please also mention the likes of CdK, Hauge, Pellegri, Lazetic, and such.
+Adli
Yeah idi*ts like you keep saying Moncada brought Leao,theo etc while blaming Maldini for CDK lmfao, the stupidity nowdays.
So just out of curiosity, did a public switch of focus have anything to do with us falling behind Roma in a chase for Scamacca?
How many multiples of 8 figures did we believe Thuram being a Milan fan would be worth?
I look forward to the high quality and proven #9 we can now sign.
Since when ACM became AC Maldini now instead of AC Milan? HAHAHAHA
If you think you as a Milan fan or someone who works with team’s management; loves Milan more than that of Maldini, you are just deceiving yourself.
And if you love Maldini, you have to love Milan because Maldini love Milan.

That’s too much make a move for another foward who can settle for 4mil
No way, I’ve read in the comments he will join Milan for half the money of PSG. Another thing is people saying he shouldn’t get 7M per season, well the club is saving about 30-40M in transfer fees, why wouldn’t he take part of that money? He isn’t stupid like some of you think, that he will come play for Milan for 0 sign on fee and 4M per year while he is offered at least 10M sign on from PSG + 7.5M per year. Told you so. Did Kamada sign?
Moncada and Furlani will soon understand that it was impossible for Maldini and Massara to operate in the transfer market with both hands tied behind their back …… and chasing 20 players and then getting no one has to stop …. we are fed up of these tactics.
