AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are trying to get the best out of their small remaining transfer budget in the final stages of the window.
Alessandro Sugoni spoke to Sky (via MilanNews) to give an update on the Rossoneri’s mercato and the various situations, beginning by declaring that Milan ‘have about a 10 million budget for the midfielder, for the defender, for the gross salaries of those signings and for renewals’.
The current target for the midfield is Jean Onana who did well last season in Ligue 1 at Bordeaux, but they were then relegated to Ligue 2 and the club are having to sell some players due to their economic situation.
Milan could try to land him for a total operation worth €5-6m with the inclusion of bonuses which is around the amount that they had allocated to the signing of Raphael Onyedika but which was then rejected by FC Midtjylland.
In the background remains Aster Vranckx of Wolfsburg: the Bundesliga side opened to a loan with option to buy deal with the option set at around €13m.
Massara is sad because of the low butget. He looks like he’s aboit to cry on that parkbench.
They always look like a pop duo who had a moderately successful few hits in the mid-90s but recently have decided to do a comeback tour because they ran out of money but this time they’re determined to play the guitars themselves.
To me.
Anyway, my point is that your comment probably has as much insider knowledge and sound logic as Mr Sugoni’s.
If this was the case, and it was 10m budget, then is that for the 22/23 season budget? In which case any agreed transfers wouldn’t all come out of that budget anyway, because they’d be split across multiple years. So 8m on a player on a 4 year contract would equal out to 2m per year plus wages. I suspect liquidity is a bigger issue (having the cash to actually pay it now) – we know the cash reserves of Milan are pretty low and it would be a bad time to take out a loan in the middle of an ownership transition.
Well this is sad. Dont know the reability of this article but 10 million and that includes renewals is kind of pathetic. There is no way that is what Milan can afford. Must be what Elliot wants to give before they leave.
Now everyone will start flocking in, talking bad about ownership and feeling sorry about Maldini and Massara over the budget available. At the same time neglecting the fact that those same Maldini and Massara (who have done some tremendous job bringing young quality players in) have been horrendous at selling players. Allowing not 1 but 4 starters in the last 2 summers to leave with Milan not even getting a dime back. Imagine our budget if we had around at least 150mil from Donnarumma, Calhanoglu, Kessie and Romagnoli sales. Even with that awful selling record, and no money coming in from sales , Elliott still spent money on Tomori, Tonali, Maignan, De Ketelaere, Adli.
“have about a 10 million budget for the midfielder, for the defender, for the gross salaries of those signings and for renewals”
IF that were true, Milan couldn’t offer Bennacer, Kalulu & Tonali their new contracts. Yet they will do just that. And get a new player. How about that? #fakenews
It is not salary player but commission for agent if their player sign contract with AC Milan ,example : sign free transfer or renew contract need to pay their agent fee. Basically AC Milan can still buy jean onana for 5m euro cover DMF & find loan player for CB like japhet or chalobah . Bonus maybe if we can get ziyech on loan at last day transfer market
“sign free transfer or renew contract need to pay their agent fee”
For Haaland’s transfer (while still a valid contract with old club) Haaland’s father & Raiola both wanted 20M€ (if I remember the sum correctly) signing bonus for them in addition to the transfer fees and Haaland’s own signing bonus.
“It is not salary player but commission for agent if their player sign contract with AC Milan”
What are you trying to say?
Total salary gross not counting on budget that left 10m euro . It is only counting if AC Milan pay agent fee or third party fee like parents example like you say haaland ,that 10m euro budget used to pay raiola fee & his parent fee but haaland total salary gross not reduced that 10m euro gross . Back to topic ,that 10m euro should be enough to pay jean onana transfer 5m euro and loan fee for japhet
“Total salary gross not counting on budget that left 10m euro”
– That’s not what they say above on the article if we’re accurate.
