AC Milan have dropped their pursuit of Patson Daka due to their inability to get the deal done in time and are now closing in on another target, a report claims.
In the last hour we relayed a report from Sky claiming that Milan have reached an agreement with Leicester over the figures and formula of the operation with Daka over personal terms. Thus, a race against time to get the green light for a work permit began.
However, the latest twist from Sky is that the bureaucratic registration times will take too long to try and get Daka, so Milan have moved away from the Zambia international and on to another target.
The player in question is 26-year-old Sevilla striker Rafa Mir. The player has already given the green light to join the Rossoneri, now Milan will have to sort out the details with Sevilla and thus definitively close the operation.
Wow. Things happen quickly. But this seems like a 7th or 8th option. Is it really worth it?
We need a warm body to back up Giroud. Especially since it seems Puli will be RW and Okafor backup to Leao.
My grandma is warm body
Giving the urgency of the situation, I think they’re trying to get whatever striker they can get
See, this is what I mean by ‘rush’. Obviously he (and the others before) is not in our initial plan, let alone being tracked for a long time. He’s here because there’s an opportunity. All in all, if it’s a loan deal first, then it’s more sensible.
He is more of the striker profile Milan needs.
Get it done.
I saw his goal against Girona last weekend and I can tell you the goal was something to write home about…He literally did the job all by him self from the left wing cutting in to is right and shooting from a very tight angle…Y’all can look the goal up on YouTube.
Joselu scored a beautiful bicycle kick against Onana, any fluke can score a beauty
He’s not striker who scores many goal like taremi, but hey, giroud used to be like that right…
Well that escalated quickly 🤭
Thanks for the memories this summer
Patson Daka 1 Sep 2023 to 1 Sep 2023
From loanee candidate to aborts
LOL
slow, noquality, slow, no technicue
I’m not happy with this guy it’s better we go without him nothing special about him
Fernando Llorente 2.0?
better than nothing i guess
We need to keep origi and get a striker. Right now our cards are 1 x 37 year old striker. This is a farce we have left ourself in this situation. We’ve made some good signings but we’re not getting nearly enough back. A striker was fundamental at the beginning of this window. Christ! It was fundamental in January. For a team that’s qualified last 3 editions of champions league, won the league, reached the semis, full house every home game. Sold Tonali, reduced the debt to zero and increased sponsorship money and tv money moving forward. Do you think we should expect something more given all these things plus moving on some wages from the books. We’ve spent circa 116M on new players. Considering Tonali funded 70M of that and all the other points I raise, should we not have been able to bank roll a decent bid for a striker or even 2. Considering Daka is a low cost option he could have come in earlier and still left money available for something to happen. I didn’t like the Tarehmi deal, I’m not sold on his quality but I came full circle on it because of the needed depth it would have brought and then it crumbled because of the wages we offered. I think when we’re this short on depth, the 4.5M on paper in additional wages for him will look small against what it might cost us over the season. Is the idea to put Camada in the team? I saw his caption this morning..Coming Soon! I hope not it’s too early for the boy
Rafa Mir players like he does not have heart.
I have absolutely ZERO idea who any of these people are. I’m hoping Moncada scouting is on point here though.
The guy is good, I dare say better than Giroud.
