MN: ‘Many agents’ calling Maldini as Milan accelerate midfield pursuit

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are looking to sign a midfielder before the end of the transfer window and they don’t have much time to work with. However, having secured Malick Thiaw for the defence, they can focus solely on the midfield. 

Several players have been linked with the Rossoneri lately and it’s clear that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara want to bring in a midfielder. Aster Vranckx appears to be the primary target as negotiations with Wolfsburg are underway.

According to Pietro Mazzara of MilanNews, ‘many agents and intermediaries’ are calling Maldini to propose their respective clients to the club. However, Milan are now focused on Vranckx as negotiations with the German club have proceeded quickly.

The formula should be a paid loan with an option to buy as Milan are working with a limited budget. Today is an important day for the negotiations and some important steps could be taken in the coming hours.

  1. Jorge Mendes calling Maldini to propose Renato Sanches after he looked horrendous yesterday vs Monaco.
    Renato is about to have a Mauro Icardi career at PSG. Sit on the bench and collect a big paycheck. Especially if PSG signs Fabian Ruiz from Napoli.
    Renato could have been an important player at Milan either at 10 or even better at the right wing. but he went for the money

    1. we stil dont know about that, renato can easily injury and i dont think his gameplay similar to kessie. We need physical player in DM and right winger.

      1. I got the sense that Sanches was pivotal part of Lille’s league title victory until I realize that he only played less than 37.5% available minutes in that league campaign, not even among the top 11 in the squad.

    2. This is what happen when Sanches is forced to play as DM. Play 60 minutes, putting his team trailing before getting substituted. Sanches is offensive minded midfielder, he can play as CM/AM/RM/LM but not good enough defensively for DM.

          1. You got bottles in your brains, I get bet with my life that you didn’t watch that match, you watch the highlight on YouTube and come here to talk rubbish, don’t you have a job????
            Sanchez didn’t play DM in that match, Sanchez played as a Dm for both lille and benefica, and even scored as a DM in his debut for PSG.

            So WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT BRO? SANCHEZ IS RICHER, MORE POPULAR, MORE INFLUENTIAL, MORE VALUABLE AMD MORE MAN THAN YOU SO STOP THE HATE!!!!!

          2. So you were saying Veratti played as solitary DM? 🤣

            If you think Sanches really play good at the match against Monaco, you should complained to Galtier because he subtituted Sanches out after just 63 minutes with PSG still trailling 0-1.

          3. “SANCHEZ IS RICHER, MORE POPULAR, MORE INFLUENTIAL, MORE VALUABLE AMD MORE MAN THAN YOU SO STOP THE HATE!!!!!”

            Everyone knows that “being richer and more popular” is all that matters in life. 🙂

    3. Sanchez is an unbelievably good player but I watch him refuse us for Swansea years ago and again this summer window. It’s almost as if he’s not destined to play for us but on the first occasion, he went on to have a bad season and although I’m pained and almost wishing he rues not coming to us for the second time, he’s still going to turn out great.

      I wish him all the best. Anyways, he’s going to be collecting lots of dough regardless.

  2. How about Ross Barkley (Free)? Yeah he flopped at Chelsea, but so di many others. Might be a good backup to Bennacer & Tonali?

  3. @Z
    you are a big liar brother, Sanchez had a very good game, stop spreading lies here because Milan are too stingy to get a quality midfeilder like Sanchez on a cheap, now we are going to settle for a mediocre midfeilder that doesn’t even know how it feels like to stay in top 10 in bundesLiga, it is our loss and not Sanchez, atleast he is getting paid millions and you are there with your phone typing from hate and lies……..Sanchez already scored for PSG and have been on a good form for PSG and he is going to get the nof to start from next match

    People just want to tell lies to cover their deceit

    1. Sanchez was perfect for this team, he was cheap and willing to play for us but our “too smart Milan” thought the world of football revolves around them, we waited because we thought no one will give him the 4m he wanted then boom!!!!!!! PSG came……now we are going to settle for a mediocre player who doesn’t even know what it feels like to make first 10 in bundesLiga, Milan fans will not understand this midfeld issue till benaccer gets injured

      1. Are you saying that because you watched the game or because you are a fan of Renato and you are still in your feelings that Milan didn’t sign him?
        Because I watched the game, he was bad , that’s why he was the 1st man subbed off.
        He scored 1 goal in a rout after the game was already decided coming of the bench.
        Psg has Verratti and Vitinha(spend big money to sign him) . If they sign Fabian Ruiz, Renato will drop to being the 4th choice, fighting for that spot with Danilo and maybe Paredes if he doesn’t go to Juventus
        Be mad at Renato for not playing good, I’m just stating what I saw.
        Plus as I wrote , he would have been better off coming to Milan and playing either as a 10 or on the wings

    2. “Sanchez had a very good game”

      Lol 🤣

      The dumbest comment I had ever seen. He only started the game because Vitinha was suspended yet failed to make the most of it. He was the first to be hauled off with his team trailing. He lost the midfield battle against the likes of Fofana and Camara.

    3. Stop masquerading an unimportant 5th goal as something great. He only came in at that game at 86th minute when the score was already 4-1, it ended up 5-2 after he came.

      1. @Yelnats24
        I got nothing to tell you man, Sanchez can buy you, your family and your entire generation so you can keep on hating on him while he makes his millions of dollars or you can advice yourself and get something meaningful doing just like he did so you will not waste time hating on people making their money rather you will have time to deal with your life issues, because hating on him gives nothing but more hatred, while he doesn’t even know and is busy enjoying his money. So save yourself the stress

          1. “Stating the truth about matches is not hate.”

            Well… That’s in the real world but on this site there are some people who seem to take critic about players REALLY personally and go bananas when they read something they don’t like. 🙂

        1. @Kossy I don’t get it? Why are you taking Sanchez comments personally? Are you related to him? He doesn’t even know you! Or give a fuk about you… 😂 If you are so much obsessed with him, them go support PSG!

        2. Why are you taking it personal? What’s with the “Sanchez can buy you” rhetoric? Are you worth more? Or a better individual? Because someone disagrees or shares a view not yours, you begin to trade insults? Shame on you!
          Did you buy a jersey or season ticket last year or have you contributed a dime to Milan that gives you the right to dictate who Milan should sign?
          You know better than maldini or any of our transfer scouts? Or are privy to information that’s available at their fingertips?
          If you don’t like how Milan is run, go support another team? Does maldini even know you? Or have you achieved a quarter of what he has in football to know better? Last time I checked Maldini did not need your advice to assemble a team that won the league!
          Fake fan. Go support PSG since Sanches plays there! Why rant here? Maybe he might pay you a few dollars for your “loyalty” since you sound broke. At least we will be left with respectable people who can agree to disagree without trading insults.
          Forza Milan!!!

    4. Hey kossy, i didn’t watch the match but i look at three football site and two of them gave 5 and one gave 6 to Renato. All of them agreed Renato played a bad game.

      – 90min
      CM: Renato Sanches – 5/10 – Lost the midfield battle against the likes of Fofana and Camara.
      – Getfootballnewsfrance: 5/10
      – Thehardtackle
      Renato Sanches – 6/10
      “The Portuguese international made his full debut for PSG on the night but failed to leave a mark against his Monaco counterparts. With Vitinha suspended, this was Sanches’s chance to make a case for himself, but he failed to take the opportunity with both hands. It was a quiet night for the 25-year-old who was taken off for Danilo Pereira in the 63rd minute.”

      “Milan are too stingy to get a quality midfeilder like Sanchez on a cheap, now we are going to settle for a mediocre midfeilder that doesn’t even know how it feels like to stay in top 10 in bundesLiga”

      Well shouldn’t you learn by now that cheap price or didn’t plays for top club doesn’t mean the player is bad / mediocre. Example:

      – Milan bought Bennacer (€16 million) and Tonali (€17 million) from Empoli and Brescia, two relegated clubs, but they played great and gave us Scudetto.

      – Milan bought Kalulu for €1 million from Lyon primavera and right now he’s one of our best CB who gave us scudetto. He’s market value is €28 million currently.

      Meanwhile expensives players doesn’t guarantee success for Milan either. Remember these flops?
      – Piatek = Milan bought it for €35 millions
      – Paquetta = Milan bought it for €38 millions
      – Bonucci = Milan bought it for €42 millions from Juve
      – Conti = Milan bought it for €24 millions
      – Caldara = Milan bought it for €36 millions from Juve

      Aster Vranckx is still 19 years old and he could be one of our best DM in the future.

      1. Bro ,you are wasting time explaining for that kid kossy. He only want big name player with high salary / high transfer fee. He better become PSG fan boy that every season buy star & give over price salary to player. Big name player not guaranteed winning trophy but team work & stability from squad

  4. @Z

    First of all I simply do not get your stance? I do not know how old you are or at what age you started watching the game or whether you even watched the game but let me explain something to you……….

    Heugmin Son of Tottenham got subtituted twice in their recent games, does it make him a bad player? Leao was non existent in the first two games, does it make him a bad player? Liverpool got 1 point 2 in 3 games, does it make them bad players? Brozovic have disappeared in all Inter games, does it make him a bad player?

    Sometimes I wonder how you people watch games, Monaco just parked the bus with 6 defenders, the entire PSG midfeild struggled, even verrati had a 5 in player rating, entire PSG players struggled, their goal was a penalty…..Sanchez is a new player and need time to adapt and if scoring 1 goal and have a 63mins on the pitch in a team like PSG doesn’t make a player bad for you, then you got issue bro

    Its not rocket science or else you hate the dude which will make no sense cos he is earning his millions and living the best lives while we are just keyboard warriors with life issues

    1. Bro why are you taking this so personally?
      I didn’t say he is a bad player I said he played bad vs Monaco. He was the subbed off while they were down for a player more defensive than him.
      I already stated I wanted him at Milan, but not as a DM. He has the physical and technical ability to be the best midfielder in the world but he doesn’t have the mentality or character to be that.
      He is undisciplined tactically and lacks defensive awareness. His effort is missing as well, he got beat several times yesterday and he was walking back. It was like watching midfielder version of Leao.
      Yes it would have been nice for Milan to get him but the money he was asking he didn’t deserve. He is rarely fit to play. Can’t ask for 4+mil and be only available for a third of the games. The best ability is your availability.
      He got his money, I’m happy for him.
      But he will be a bench player with a lot of money , like Icardi.

      1. That’s right. I also never say Sanches is a bad player. I literally said he played bad in the match because he was being played out of position.

    2. Thank God you included yourself? Who ate your cookie? Lol. Stop transferring aggression, no ONE has to share your view. Only kids throw tantrums when they can’t get their way. Grow up and man up!!

    3. I love this guy. Kossy, bro… – you don’t have time to watch every game. And I know for a fact that you haven’t watched an Inter game in a while, because ” Brozovic have disappeared in all Inter games”? What kind of a statement is that? Go get some help for your life issues.

    4. bro give this guy tissue he cant believe sanchez played bad bro go to mental hospital why are u so obsessed of him u dumb loser. Go in psg u plastic fan
