AC Milan are waiting to get a deal done for Conrad Harder, and whilst everything is agreed, there is a delay in the signing.
A deal for Harder is ready to go, the player has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Milan, whilst the deal between the two clubs has also been agreed. However, there is now a delay in the youngster’s arrival.

It was suggested that the Dane would be in Milano today to finish the signing, and that looked to be true. However, the deal is now reliant on Sporting finding a replacement before the end of the mercato, though this looks quite probable.
Romano’s update
Fabrizio Romano, today, has offered an update on things, and @Garante_Il has relayed his comments on X.
“At this time (4:06 PM), the medical hasn’t been approved yet. Milan still needs to sort out some things regarding the player and then get Sporting’s approval. Meanwhile, Sporting is closing in on a replacement, who will be Ioannidis.
“There was never any approval for Harder’s medicals. There was talk of him arriving last night, then this morning, then this evening, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow… As soon as we know anything about the timing, we’ll let you know for sure. Without postponing things that haven’t been scheduled.
“We’re waiting for Sporting’s approval. Meanwhile, the fact that he’s finding a replacement is important. We know Rennes have been pushing for days, and there have been calls from the Premier League, but for now, Milan are waiting to close the Harder deal.”
Perhaps the news of Premier League interest may settle some a little. However, it is still a risk considering other options available this summer.
Maybe having lower expectations will mean less pressure. I don’t have high hopes with this transfer. Don’t quite get the delay though. I get it they need to find a replacement.
Probablybsimilar situation to jashari, teams see interest from the epl and know how much they can overspend, so they wait to see if a ludicrous offer comesnin from there
Why would Premier League interest comfort anyone? He can be a top player, I don’t think anyone is against signing talents. This is how we got Leao. But he was coming on from the bench for 2 seasons. Harder should be the backup and get his minutes.
He was benched for Gyokeres who just left for Arsenal. There was no way he would push Gyokeres on the bench but that doesn’t mean he’s not good. He was benched for a very good stricker in Gyokere
But he is good enough to be the first striker of Milan? What?
Elsewhere, Nicolo Savona is a subject of 12 million bid from Nottingham. An affordable young talented Italian rightback to compete with Athekame. But hey, what do I know.
I read the Forest links to Savona, but I’m not sure if Juve would sold us him for that price.
Juve needs to sell players regardless cause of financial problems, so they might accept anything.
They are trying to sell Savona so they can buy Arnau Martinez from Girona, for the right-back position.
Not true. “ The club said overall targets under its plan through 2027 still stood, but the review had highlighted the potential need for a cash injection, ranging from 15 million euros to as much as 10% of its market value.
Juventus was worth 1.14 billion euros at Friday’s closing price.
Exor could cover the cash call in full but would invest at least enough to keep its stake unchanged, Juventus said.
A final decision on the capital hike will be taken after the current season and the summer transfer campaign for players”
Hopefully harder goes to the prem. I still stand by the fact we need a top cb and top cf and before mercato closes. Nothing else.
So which premier league team? That’s ok we know. Thanks for trying to make the forum feel better about this deal. Much appreciated.
The usual epl hype, in the hopes one of them uses that massive wallet to overpay. Clubs aren’t dumb, they know even teams like west ham and Burnley can easily blow 40mil on anyone
We need to go 100% to sign Vlahovic. It is not ideal but it’s the best option we have in this window for a ready to start and deliver striker which is what we need.
But I think it makes sense to sign Harder as well as a backup and to develop him.
Get harder,vlahovich ,top centre back,seĺl musa get rabiot and we are gud for scudetto candidates
