Newcastle United have reached an agreement in principle with Sandro Tonali over personal terms and the move now appears to be imminent, a report claims.
According to what Sky are reporting, Newcastle have reached an economic agreement with Tonali and have secured the player’s willingness to accept the move, a choice also clearly dictated by Milan’s openness to selling.
What that implies is that the former Brescia man was unsure about whether to join the Magpies, but his mind was changed upon learning that his boyhood club are happy to sell him.
Newcastle most recently reached €70m with their latest bid, and the Milan counter-offer was €80m. Just one final effort by Newcastle is missing to end the story between Tonali and Milan after three seasons.
Now that we have reached the formal phase of offers and acceptances, the contacts are continuous and it shows that the riches of the Premier League are enough to break even seemingly the strongest bonds.
💔
Tonali is heartbroken like us as the management disregard his love for Milan. 💔
This is the most trash that is on the heads of the club heads.
Boycott these Leaders.
Right,,boycott these Leaders
What rubbish is:
“What that implies is that the former Brescia man was unsure about whether to join the Magpies, but his mind was changed upon learning that his boyhood club are happy to sell him.”
No, what it implies is that there is a humongous salary for him if he moves to Newcastle and he’s happy to trade in on that. He’s got a contract with Milan so he’s perfectly entitled to turn down such a move. Milan wouldn’t bother with negotiations if there was no chance of the player moving, but he wants to go chase the money – sorry, I mean play in the Premier League – so the conversations are being had.
So you want to tell me that when you learn that when the man who brought you in was dropped without notice,and the boyhood team cares more to cash you in than build a team project with you in it then you are the evil guy.Don ‘t compare tonali to donnarumma
I’m not saying he’s the evil guy, I’m saying he’s decided to move. The club can’t sell him without his consent – do you think he’d move to Newcastle for the same wage he’s currently on? No, he’s going because they’re going to pay him a humongous salary, not because Milan are open to selling him.
If the first door is closed shut, just like Inter did with Barella, there’ll be no further steps and talks. It tells you that the player is indespensible for the team. When the team opens the door, at the slightest, it tells you that the player is replaceable and that says a lot.
The kind of player like Tonali would have stayed for life in Milan if he feels the mutual trust and respect. He’s the kind of guy who’s willingly to settle down on what he has, as Milan is already a dream come true for him. Unlike let’s say Leao who explicitly said that he want to play in the EPL somewhere in the future. Tonali isn’t like that.
But such a shame that the club (or management in this case) can’t match his love. And maybe, just maybe, he decided to accept the Newcastle offer knowing that Milan, the love of his life, will get plenty of money by that deal so it’ll do good for the club’s future. That’s love on another level.
You won’t think like that would you. Assuming all players are driven by money and fame. We won’t find another Tonali in this modern football era. And such a shame, we just let that rare-almost-extinct kind of player go.
–
“Every player thinks differently. Some think about career and ambition, others about money. I believe that being well in a team is essential.”
“At Milan I can achieve all my goals, I can have everything in the club where I am happy.”
Tonali
Well f*cking said, I can’t say more…
Its pointless to argue with people like R or poli because they are in a permanent high after snifffing so much of clowndinale sh*t stain as*.
Yep – This
He can earn enough to provide for 6 generations of his family. I will never fault players for making the most of their short careers they worked on their entire lives to achieve. Someone will pay it, then he is worth it He knows the club accepted the deal so he will not stay were he doesn’t feel needed. Also the club rather cash in then stay competitive so it is a clear indication that they have no more ambition. He accomplished everything he could with us. Their current policies will never help him succeed her again. He should go while he can.
Oh, I agree with him being able to chase the money – that’s absolutely fair and I don’t blame him for it.
But the framing of this article like it’s somehow the club’s fault that Newcastle are offering him crazy money… that’s just ridiculous. Newcastle offered him the huge money, he’s interested in it and so Milan are negotiating.
No@R, get the other right, the report is clear. Milan are willing to sell, Tonali is surprised and then agrees to their plight. Don’t tell me Milan haven’t pressure Tonali to leave, if he doesn’t they can use the press against him also like they did with Maldini. If Tonali resists leaving, he will be tagged an enemy, it will be said that he wants to leave for free etc and he will receive a Maldini 2.0 (lol) firing. Nobody can blame Tonali for this at all. He thought he was central to Milan’s project until they told him he can get out as he is no longer needed. Newcastle on the other hand value him and want to make him central to their project, why shouldn’t he go? When he took a paycut to join Milan was he mad or drunk? Why didn’t you castigate him then?
Are you reading anything?
Firstly, Tonali has been a great servant to Milan for a few years. I hope he stays.
But that “what this implies” nonsense isn’t part of the linked article, it’s pure SempreMilan conjecture. It doesn’t imply that at all, this is simply some made up motivation to spin a story. Which you’re happily buying.
Fact: Milan have a contract with Tonali
Fact: Tonali has a contract with Milan
No-one is being forced out of those deals.
If Tonali was being ‘forced out’ why would Newcastle be offering him such crazy high money? It’s not that at all, he is being offered a huge salary due to being a fantastic talent. I don’t blame him for that. But don’t blame the club for talking to Newcastle if Tonali is open to the move. It’s all mutual.
I’m sure the ‘surprise’ he’s feeling is that a club is going to match a crazy asking price from his agents. Don’t be so naive to think this isn’t a move he’s part of though; just because he took a pay cut to join Milan doesn’t mean he won’t have his head turned by one of the highest salaries in European football.
No, what it implies is that there is a humongous money for him and ownership is happz to sell him.
Stop trying to blame the player for everything, if the club are willing to sell him, they will do so, no matter the love towards the club if they say yes to an offer that means i am no longer important to them. So why would i stay. !! Deal with the fact that all players in Cardinales Milan have a price tag on the, wait until someone makes a serious offer of 150 to 175ml for Leao they would sell him in a heartbeat!!
Good Luck Sandro.
The club saying “yes” to an offer doesn’t mean anything about him needing to move, simply that he had a valuation. More than likely they’ll reluctantly do it but they wouldn’t bother negotiating if the player wasn’t up for moving.
Every player in the world has a valuation. MBappe will be sold if Madrid offer enough money.
So I don’t blame him for taking the money but don’t pretend the club are forcing him out.
When a club puts up for sale you have no choice but to leave – they are basically saying we don’t want you and you can leave. If it wasn’t this offer it will be the next. Redbird could have said NO to Newcastle like Inter did when they offered for Barella. Inter said he was not for sale and the Newcastle moved on to Tonali. Redbird could have did the same and Newcastle would have moved on. BUT they didn’t. They negotiated first. Don’t get it twisted and try to defend Redbird. They wanted to sell for PROFIT. That is what this was all about.
agree…i think somebody deseperately try to defend redbird…lmao
they are businessman, so money will come first…at this rate, i pray that oil money will buy milan
ofcourse they are, profits over love 🙂
Bro you can’t be so naiive to think that this was all Tonali’s choice after he took a pay cut to get here. That makes absolutely no sense. We know his history, we know his love for the colors. What we don’t know are the club’s intentions but seems like we now
When your so called stupid owners of Milan are not ready to invest
U blame the player
More player will leave Milan
Sorry buddy but it takes 2 to tango. Tonali would stay here for life if he felt respected and important. The fact that redturd immediately wants to hear offers and is willing to part ways for 80m makes him feel that milan or what Milan used to be doesn’t care about him as a future talisman of the club which is what he is building towards. You don’t just blindly love ac milan even when they don’t think of you as important… tonali isn’t a slave just because he supports milan.. he feels let down and so do all the fans. This club is turning into a disgusting thing. Embarrassing how business we have become. If you are only about finances and money just go cheer for the stock market.. sad this money money money mentality has crept so deeply into this game.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Think before you talk all you Maldini haters. Now we are seeing the real reason why Maldini was fired. Have you heard Maldini utter a word since on this matter? Cardinale wants to sell, Maldini was standing in the way of his business cos he won’t sell his stars but rather wants to build a competitive team to win trophies. The strategy was simple, get Maldini out of the way and business will begin to roll. Expect Theo, Maignan and Leao to follow soon. Pathetic new management. Cardinale will turn Milan to Chelsea this season and the. Sack Pioli for poor results. Those of you expecting SMS and Frattesi from this sale should keep on dreaming, young talents will be brought in as replacements
This is ridiculous, Tonali took a pay cut to stay at Milan in 2021
They said maldini didn’t develop players enough.Now they want to Cash on them one after the other.
The worse is selling without proper investment.
70 million is not a terrible amount. Thank you for everything. Now go cash in your new check… Sandro… should I say… Dollari
Grande Sandro, Good luck to him.
Go cry to Cardinale for wanting to sell him 🙂
Well well well.
Sky is also reputable as a source too. Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
Romano is also saying the same. It’s happening unfortunately
At least bring sms and Frattesi in
Bro no jokes please. I know ur trying to cheer ppl up but they are are hurting with this news 🤪
If he’s gone he’s gone, what can u do about it?
I don’t believe it unless it’s confirmed.
Tonali is gone.
R what if they come to him and explain to him it’s time for him to leave because they need money
Do you think he’d leave for the same as his current salary? No, he’s going because Newcastle are offering crazy, silly money to him and it will set him up for the rest of his life on one contract. I don’t blame him, but don’t blame the club for it – it’s the sad reality of modern football and nation states owning clubs.
You must be Cardinale himself stop disguising yourself as R. You are the Cardinale that made the cardinal error of sacking Maldini foolishly, that’s why you are defending yourself so passionately before us here
Loool whoever believes this clearly doesn’t know Tonali too well 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tonali isnt going anywhere, I promise you that Tonali will be here for many more seasons to come
Whoever is leaking these stories is putting the pressure on NUFC not to fail after Barella fiasco. So it’s up to the English club to put the money where their leaks are.
80 mil would do a lot of good for the club but would break my heart to see Tonali go. Hope he stays and this is all hot air.
Pay attention to Fabrizio Romano.
Oh Romano too???!!! Welp that’s that.
I wonder why he would leave. Things have been going so swimmingly for the new management setup. You know what, Pioli should call him 👌
Meant for R above 😁
One more step closer to officially being a feeder club. I have supported this club through thick and thin since 1994 but this to me crosses a line. I think I am also leaving with Tonali.
Then go buddy, Tonali isn’t Milan. Nobody is bigger than the club, same as when Kaka left, when Sheva left, wish them well and send them on their way. Doesn’t matter what happens, if you don’t stay true to your club because of a player, then you were never a fan. Like those Barcelona fans who left when Messi left. So good luck, we’ll miss Sandro, we won’t miss you lol.
Well said. They only sing when we are winning and curse when we are loosing.
Theese are fake fans
Milan is being run as a club should be run. Unfortunately, there are clubs like Paris, Man City and Newcastle that are not being. And Milan aren’t going to compete with those teams that are owned by effectively wealthy states.
Pretty soon, neither will Munich or Madrid or the other biggest names in football.
If you don’t care to support a team that doesn’t need to sell players, then your choices are the top 5 or 6 English clubs, because in a few years that will be your only choice
What do you even like about Milan if you could care less about the players or its tradition? Any club should do for you and there are more successful ones our there. Seriously just play excel spreadsheet if you are that inspired by football business like you seem to be.. wtf.
I lament the change in football power dynamics in my post and you completely ignore that.
What do you even like about Milan if you’re just going to complain that they don’t bankrupt themselves spending? You think all the wealthy multi-billionaire Milan fans who just want to spend lavishly are being kept away from the club by the evil Redbird?
Time to live in the real world Zoro Caloro, not your early 90s fantasy; be owned by a nation, be run as a business or go bankrupt. Choose your poison.
What do you mean Newcastle. They have not and will not throw money at players and breach ffp. We. Are not Newcastle. Ask yourself why we can only pay under £250k a week and pretend big six can pay 300,400&500k + a week. As Eddie said last week we just can’t compete with them so have to be better with our money in instead. Eat your words or be man enough to apologise for lying.
Absolutely they have to work within those rules. But as Paris and Man City have proven, the rules are difficult to enforce.
Anyway, I’m just off to go book my trip with Sela that is definitely a completely real and legitimate sponsor, see you later.
Let’s not kid ourselves that landing €80M for a player that we paid €15M for is a good sense of business as long as they can re-invest the money back into the club to buy proper players to replace Sandro.
We all crucified Maldini/Massara/Gazidis for blowing the opportunities to cash in on Donnarumma, Kessie, Calhanoglu, etc. and now that the club realizes that they can’t keep players that are being offered triple their salary we are crucifying Tonali/Redbird for doing exactly what we would all do if we were in their shoes?
Take the emotion out of it and realize that as a player, you are going to try to make as much money as humanly possible in the short amount of time you have to cash in on your abilities. As a club/business, your main objective is to be sustainable to be making money, not losing it. No players are “lifers” anymore and the last significant player that remained at one club for their entire career that I can think of would be Totti.
Excellent post
It’s sad and I’d love the deal to call through, but it’s better than him leaving for free and noone can compete with Newcastle’s silly money injection apart from Man City and Paris
Nope…not the same thing. And this guy R is a paid troll.
Sandro love Milan and wouldn’t leave. The club is telling him to go.
He’s not the type to hurt the club. He even took a pay cut to stay. It’s not about the salary for him.
There’s no emotion as you implied. Cardinale is selling all the pieces and turning this club into a poor man’s Arsenal.
If management was so adept and M&M were messing up how come we haven’t been able to sign anyone? I thought Moncada was a genius and had players lined but Maldini was saying no?
What happened? Pioli was phoning Thuram! I thought Marcus would for sure say yes…it’s the great Pioli after all. How d CA an you say no! Hahahahhaa.
And for the last time Dolla, the snake and Kessie would not have signed with Milan. They all wanted to get bigger paychecks elsewhere.
It happens all the time…half the players were after are all doing the same with their current clubs. Thuram is not signing and walking away.
Anyone saying this stuff has an agenda and is not a fan of the club.
Stove, the real world called Tonali and offered him an absolute fortune that will set him up for life. The club can’t force him to do anything. If they were going to force him out, he’d hardly be in a position to demand.
I ask you here, who’s getting the better deal:
Tonali getting paid 14-15m gross per season?
Milan getting paid 75-80m for Tonali?
No-one is saying new management is amazing on here, that’s an argument you’re making up in your own mind. I have no evidence to base it on yet. I’m sad Maldini left as I think he had been doing a great job. I fear that the new ownership doesn’t understand football investment and doesn’t realise the only way they’ll grow the value of the club is by having a team that people care about. But I’m also enough of a grown up to see that current football finances mean Tonali is only getting that sort of money if he chooses to move to one of the clubs funded by a nation, not its own fans.
R(etard)…your in Redbirds pocket and you know it. Your blaming Tonali.
The club made $140m last year and can make more this upcoming year but selling your best players can cause this house of cards to fall.
Do you remember Berlu’s last years? 200-300m losses a year!!!! Your boy Cardinale would go bankrupt.
And where are you getting 14-15m a year gross?
14m per year gross is what he’ll be being paid if he’s making 8m net in the UK, once all taxes are factored in.
The club made 140m last year but it isn’t set up to make that every year unless they massively over perform in the UCL again and continue to finish top 4 and improve the coefficient.
The lack of perspective on here amazes me – ‘thing I don’t like is happening so it must be fault of thing I don’t like’. Listen, I think Redbird are making plenty of mistakes with the club and I think they’re undervaluing what Tonali means to Milan, but they’re also not the ones offering him 8m net per year because that’s something we can’t do.
And good to know that Redbird are happy to sell Tonali but they apparently pay me to post comments on SempreMilan… I think that would only confirm their lunacy.
Tonali still have 4 years contract left. A big difference from Kessie, $umma, and hakan.
Yep, and that’s why he’s particularly valuable. I agree, I don’t think we should be selling him for that price for another two years. But the reality is that Newcastle want him now and can offer him a salary that very few clubs in the world can match.
Wow! Romano is cooking it as well guys.
What is this going to send to the squad????wow! All these ‘targets’ and were losing a member of our spine.
Wake me up when June ends.
Rejecting 80M is a travesty in this kind of economy, so I understand if we are accepting this, but damn man, still gonna hurts like a.. beach.
Won’t begrudge Tonali too if this deal went through. He did his all to be part of us, probably in different era, he would be our bandiera.. This is just disheartening. To leave his beloved club for a obscure (though improving) team who last won their league was 100years ago.. is just.. hard to swallow.
Would this money even be reinvested to acquire PROPER reinforcements? I could only hope that it would, though I fear that the direction of which the club is taking, would also be reflected in the decisions of targeted players.
Agree. That’s a huge return on Tonali. Replacements will be key.
Some will be signed on FREE 🙂
Well well well… I thought Tonali could resist the money but I was wrong. 75-80M€ would be good. That should buy 2 starters and 1 sub. If that money brings in Frattesi I doubt that anyone will miss Tonali – skillswise at least. Hard to replace his attitude but money changes everything it seems.
Are you nuts? Tonali is so much better.
He really isn’t. There’s a reason why Frattesi plays more in the Azzurri than Tonali.
Guys, I said so. No Maldini, No party, the only Milan fan player they sold him. Now you can see, what this leadership is… The only language they speak is €❗
He’s a good s gone at this point unfortunately. Romano reported it too so this is definitely going through.
Now, who do they replace him with? Need to move fast. FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
There are a few kids (at least I hope they’re kids) on here who don’t seem to understand some fundamentals.
1. We haven’t been a top club for at least 12 years now. We are unable to compete with top clubs until we eliminate debt and further increase revenues and build our own stadium.
2. When a huge offer comes in, we sell.
3. Most players are willing to leave to make more money or play for a richer club. That’s always been the case, except 20 years ago we were the rich club.
Exactly. Very well put.
Well said
1. We pretty much won Serie a and went up to UCL semi. That seems like a journey towards the top for me.
2. Spoken like a TRUE Cardinale cock$ucker.
3. If the club has no ambition, players will leave for money. Players want to play for a club that aims to win. Hard to understand for Cardinale cock$uckers.
Sure mate, all those players moving to Saudi Arabia this year and moved to China 10 years ago…. All those players who choose to go to midtable Premier League clubs instead of top 4 contenders in Germany, Italy and Spain…. it’s because of their burning desire to win.
We’ve massively over performed in the last couple of years, compared to the wage budgets of the teams we’ve been beating. All credit to Pioli, Massara and Maldini for managing that and to Gazidis for getting out of the financial mess the China fiasco left us in.
But without an Arab state owning the club, without our own stadium and without making player sales… where does the money come from to increase those numbers?
By improving the commercial sector. However, that require brand image, something that will diminish if we are viewed as transit club like Dortmund.
@R by building a team that costs less, stable, can win and bring sporting success. Back to back UCL qualification and going deep in the UCL would make us enough money to build the stadium when we keep the budget tight every season to bring 1/2 marquee signing while retaining the best players for peanuts. Elliot’s strategy brought us out of debt and won cups. We didn’t need to be a feeder club if we just stayed in this path.
But Cardinale, doesn’t want this. Winning is not necessary for him. because in after a whole season in charge, nothing came out of him that claims he wants to win. He is here to trade players. It was evident before from his strategy in Toulouse to those who cared enough to look into it.. And now it’s clear to Everyone who is a Milan fan.
Wage budget was what got us into more spending. if the wage budget wasn’t there.. we’d have a lot more to invest this season because without this wage cap, Kessie and hakan would be here now. We wouldn’t have to go wasting money on CAMs and a CDMs. All we had to add is a ST and a RW and we could easily compete for UCL title.
Our debt last year was only 28m and this season we get 16m profit.
You still have to field a strong competitive side or interest jn your brand wanes.
If you destroy your on field brand the value of your other players declines.
Jesus. This kid bled red and black.
I know most on here love Tonali because he is Italian and he loved Milan as a boy but This can be a very good thing for Milan. The Bennacer- Tonali midfield was not working well and our midfield was getting bossed by most teams. Tonali is a bit overrated and Milan get get a much better midfielder for this price.
Exactly. You made people cry with that comment but it’s the truth. Having Tonali in the squad is/was actually holding us back as he lacks creativity.
Whether Milan can upgrade the midfield now is up to Moncada & co. At least there should be enough cash for that.
Bro the Bennacer -Tonali midfield wasn’t working because it was never Bennacer -Tonali. Kessie was what was missing and either Tonali or Benny comes on as sub. It never worked been when Kessie was here They had to make do this year but really they never replaced Kessie. Now if they want to replace Tonali with a Kessie-like replacement sure go for it. But that still means you’re out one player (but I’m assuming they think Krunic can do)
I’m very sad about this too, but I don’t think they can turn down €80m. As much as I love Sandro I don’t expect him to be an instant hit in the Prem. Milan have struggled to keep pace with Prem teams in the Champions league (Spurs don’t really count!) and Tonali loves winning soft free kicks in Serie A that he will no longer get.
To everyone saying that Tonali is after the the salary raise and that he is chasing the paper, did you guys really forget that he decreased his salary to be able to join his beloved boyhood club?
I wish him the best of careers and a thick wallet! He will always stay a true milanisti but he knows the new owner i a rotten apple.
LMAO – I hate to say I told you so – but unfortunately it’s true. All you Redbird lovers I hope are happy.
Horrible for the fans. Has nothing to do with Tonali but has everything to do with what he represents. We are now officially a BUSINESS – no longer a CLUB.
And does any fool really believe ALL of that money will be invested in replacement players???? Hahahaha! Good luck w that ace kids. Sad day for any TRUE Milan fan. Let’s see who is next.
And for those of you calling Tonali greedy or blaming him – your idiots. Remember it was the CLUB that put him up for sale. Tonali did NOT ask to leave. They could have easily said he wasn’t for sale. Clearly the club wanted to sell and Tonali after finding that out and after all he did for the club – is right to leave if that is his wish. The same fans who demand loyalty from the player demand none from the club. A player is “greedy” if he leaves but it’s ok for a club to sell and they are not. LOL. Those same fans cry that we don’t have enough players that will bleed for the shirt – and when we do – he’s sold??? Terrible message to send to the fans. But this is Redbird. PROFIT over Titles.
And does anyone still think this will NOT have an impact on any of the other players???? Hahahaha. Ya right. Let the fire sale begin. MILAN ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS – ALL OFFERS ARE WELCOME!
DISGUSTING
You’re one of the kids I referred to earlier 😂 How do you think the club is supposed to make money?
Do you have a few hundred million to invest? No, then let the owners make the decisions. The Berlusconi sugar daddy era ended a long time ago. If you don’t like it, you’re free to stop being a fan.
Btw Tonali could say no. So he’s as much to “blame” as the club. I don’t blame either.
Mickey said mate
That was for Juro as I agree with him.
Gary, you are a troll. As a business you look to make money. This is not it.
The club made $140m last season not by selling players but on the field.
They could have made more by adding quality to an already solid backbone but selling one of those backbone players for who knows what player shows the club is looking at money and not ambition.
If you think they’re gonna invest that money into the club than your the kid.
They offered M&M $35m from the $140 they made and so far have been chasing freebies.
Where’s the $35m? Now you think they will invest $80m from tonalis sale? Lol
Grow up
Indeed. Funny how people have been crying because Milan (and ESPECIALLY Maldini) didn’t sell anyone to finance mercatos. Now that the club is actually selling one for a huuuuuge profit, everyone is crying their eyes out because Milan has turned into “feeder club” and is selling its players.
How f*ng ridiculous are they? Let’s just be glad they’re selling Tonali and not Maignan, Theo or Leao. At least now there’s a chance they improve the squad.
Have you literally seen one person claim to ‘love’ Redbird?
They’re running the club as the business they see fit. As Gary says, time to wake up to the reality than Milan can’t financially compete with nations that own clubs and the marketing success that is English Premier League.
@R there are plenty of Redbird ‘lovers’ in here… I can see two of them in Juro’s comment alone who are so high on copium, they have convinced themselves that we are gonna ‘compete’ with rich clubs by turning into a seller club just like RB Leipzig, Atalanta and Brugge competes every year yeah?
Nice copium lol We have just become a feeder club to Fckn NEWCASTLE. lmfao You don’t see newcastle going for Tchouameni of RM, or Rodri from Mancity, or Goretzka from Bayern… ! They are NOT for sale for ANY amount. Period. That’s what the difference is between the big and feeder clubs.
Saudi should have bought Milan instead of newcastle.
“They are NOT for sale for ANY amount. Period.”
So say you. But when a big enough offer comes…
Agreed. Sad that people on here think only in business terms. Yes you need to do well enough to fund the club but you are selling the most important player we have from a sentimental standpoint and the only quality italian player we have. This is a gross sale and I knew this would happen once we were bought by American fund owners. It’s gross. Milan is now a business toy, no longer stands for anything anymore, just solely for money. How inspiring… no more emotions will be made here. If we win anything significant yet the team means nothing then who cares anyways. This is a very hard pill to swallow
Mickey said mate
I don’t expect a positive spin from you. BUT, if Sandro leaves but we get Fratesi and another midfielder like Loftus or SMS , you’re still gonna look this as betrayal? Even though the return would be worth more???
Like I said, I think this club might be more competitive, even if less recognizable. Isn’t that what you would want as a fan? Because that’s what curva she’d were asking for, more competitive squad.
That is A LOT to assume that these Ownwrs will reinvest ALL of that money back into Frattesi and SMS. Don’t forget we owe Brescia a sell on fee so it’s not 70-80 we ar making it is less. Secondly Frattesi and SMS are both valued at 40M. Good luck getting a discount from either owners of their clubs who are notoriously difficult negotiators. Third SMS doesn’t follow our youth policy. Highly unlikely we will spend 40M on a 28 – soon to be 29 year old player that we will not be able to resell in the future. At best we will sign Frattesi and a younger mid for like 10M that’s it. Not sure how that makes us better and why you believe Redbird will spend all that $$$. They want to make PROFIT and not spend it. That is clear.
The Project is over. The lads will start looking and we have now showed to every club we are open for business. Nobody is untouchable. Just don’t expect mass world class replacement signings for whoever we sell. Cheap young talent is the way we will continue to go. This is the Redbird way
Like I said, replacements after his sale will be key. Maybe not SMS, maybe Loftus Cheek/Guler or something like that. Fratesi, sounds like, is a replacement for sure and on paper value is as fundamental as Sandro. But it doesn’t sound like they plan on leaving a gap either way.
I’m willing to give this play the benefit of the doubt, so long as after Sandro’s departure, we improve the squad.
Fratesi can’t replace Tonali, he is not defensive midfielder.
“Fratesi can’t replace Tonali, he is not defensive midfielder.”
That’s one of the problems. Maybe there’s enough “defensive midfielders” and not a single creative, playmaking midfielder in the team. Just look at Inter. All of their starting midfielders can pass the ball and create chances just like that. Milan midfielder cannot. They just rely on Leao’s pace and that’s it.
Time to improve the squad and tactics with a more creative midfielders instead of using two DFs who simply cannot pass the ball forwards.
Have you count Tonali’s assist? He gave a lot of assist despite playing as DM.
But the important thing is one of the double pivot must be commited to defense. This place is filled by Tonali which is why Fratesi/SMS cannot replace him. Fratesi can replace injured Bennacer but Milan won’t replace Tonali with SMS, they will look for defensive one.
Could we please also sell Rafa, Theo and Mike so I can deal with the pain all at once 😭😭😭
Maldini and Massara sacked. Contrary to consolidating the club’s position on keeping it’s best players and continue to build a stronger team, the club has instead stated every player is sellable and are willing to listen to offers. So if an offer comes why wouldn’t any player want to leave. We’ve seen clubs reject huge offers for their players and make it clear they aren’t for sale. The American money machine wants to cash in.
If fan favourite and club face Tonali leaves, then we should brace for Theo, Tomori, Maignan , Leao… all our best players leaving as well
I love Tonali. He is not worth 80m. If Newcastle is willing to pay almost double what he’s actually worth 40-50m we’d be stupid not to take it. Player still has to approve the move…it seems he’s willing to do so. There aren’t many places j wouldn’t be willing to move if someone offered to triple my salary. I’ll hate to see him go, but the Milan journey continues….
Agreed. That’s a phenomenal return. Hopefully to be fully reinvested if our mercato is to be self sustained.
How can you be sure that 80mil will be re-invest on players? Until I see someone worth the money coming in, I will remain skeptical with this owner. Free agent doesn’t count.
But to be honest, 600mil loan to acquire the club is not a small number. Yes Milan is probably a healthy club now financially, but your owner balance is still red with 600mil debt.
Everyone in this team can now be considered ‘up for sale’
Good luck Sandro – nothing like being kicked in the plums when you’ve dedicated yourself to the club..
Get Frattesi and SMS and add Thuram and Gulan
H A P P Y
..for the guy. Tonali deserves the money and at Milan will never get close to that. And in terms of winning i think he will be closer there. Newcastle have money and brains compare to other premiere league teams.
Thank you for 3 wonderful years ❤️🖤
Good luck Sandro.
Im sad, but the reality is that Milan is a business. 70-80M really makes a difference, and its a deal the management cannot wave off or even ignore.
The same feeling when Sheka, Kaka, Thiago & Ibra got sold.
Milan won’t sell Tonali till they secure Fratessi as replacement hence the meeting with Beppe Risso who is agent of both players.
I hope we all realise we are selling him for what is essentially EU30m.
It will take EU40m to replace Tonali with Frattesi or any player of the same standard.
Money ball strikes again!
This is bs. How does a player stay when the owners say, “hey we approved your sale so would you like to leave now?” How do you stay after that and still feel ok here. Imo once the club decides to sell, it’s just a matter if time before the player has to leave. This isn’t on Sandro at all. He never gave problems with renewals. Never asked to leave. This is all ownership.
Sorry this was in reply to @flossonero not to you. I agree with your comment btw.
All good. I assumed as much.
Who would’ve thought we’d be a seller club?
Cardinale is here to take Milan to the next step by selling all the best players.
Theo and Mike next. if an offer comes high enough, they will be sold too because we want to win. Leao will be sold too if an offer comes along. Because, we REALLY Want to win by investing the money we get from them. Lol
Anyone who knows ANYTHING about the history of football, knows the only way you win cups is by KEEPING the best players in your team. Milan didn’t win 5 UCLs by selling the best players. We did it by keeping our best players and having them playing with each other for decades.
RM didn’t win 3 back to back UCLs by selling players, they did it by keeping them. There is a reason why CDMs like Tonali are valued to high. Tchouameni was sold for 100mil at the age of 19. Good CDMs are rare and hard to find. We are lucky that we had two of them in Tonali who is now being sold and bennacer who is injured. So basically, first business of Cardinale was to completely empty our midfield without a single replacement in mind. And no Frattesi aint it. He is nowhere even close to being a semi decent midfielder. Slower than Tonali, and worse workrate. Costly as hell. FCK NO.
What do you expect from an owner who left a club as massive as Milan in the hands of an accountant who’s highest job experience was being an assistant prior to Milan job and a scout who is good at finding youngsters and a coach who doesn’t recognize talent even when it sits on his nose.
If only someone could’ve predicted this before..
Wake up kid, it’s not 2010 anymore. No sugar daddy.
So, another ret@ard just alright with Milan becoming a seller club? Lol There’s this thing called ambition, you probably haven’t heard of it from your mom’s basement, but no need for a sugar daddy to have some ambition. Elliot was all about money as well, but at least they had the ambition to win and passion for the game to at least be present for Milan matches.
My thoughts exactly milan4lyf. All these #$@#bird fans are all baseball fans. Just bots man.
Just the fact that some of these bots are alright with us becoming a feeder for Newcastle is mind-boggling. We aren’t in debt, we aren’t broke as we made enough money last year, we don’t have a jesus of football better than Pirlo and Gattuso rising through our ranks to replace Tonali.. i don’t see any reason why we should even listen to offers for Tonali.
I would understand if we were selling Tomori, he was horror show last season. But Tonali? Nah that’s just pure feeder mentality. We could’ve had Kamada, Thuram, RLC, SMS and a RW all without Tonali being sold. If we really needed to sell that badly to raise money, Tomori should’ve been it or Saele.
And Elliot actually invest for transfer budget.
Newcastle has sugar daddy.
So we make 30M profit. Makes sense to me. Do you know how a business works? 🤣
Gary, you call everyone who does not share your opinion a “,kid”. Sorry “,old mam” , it does not work that way.
Milan had a project, get young players with potential for growth and build a strong milan team that can challenge for titles in the years to come and we made progress in the past 3 seasons with that project.
Cardinale wants another thing buy young players, develop them and sell them.
You don’t expect people not to object to the idea that we will be a feeder club and you don’t call them kids for that.
Your claims that Milan is now being rub properly lis baseless. The cardinale approach is still an hypothesis and is untested. The Maldini model has been successful, we have 3 successive CL appearances, a scuddetto and CL semifinal to show for it in 3 years. You cannot just rubbish that because you don’t like it and call those who are aligned “kids”.
Here we go again another person who cares more about business then the game and about enjoying the team you are watching. Again… go watch an excel spreadsheet if that’s all that matter to you is business.
True man, we used to care about winning and bragging about how many trophies we have. But now suddenly it looks like selling for profit is more enjoyable to watch-i mean read rather than your captain lifting trophy. Milenials mind are unique.
Don’t laugh to hard now. That feederclub bussines that you are so proud of, may be coming down hard, when the fan base start boycotting until redbird is out. Good luck filling that stadium with this policy. No1 is calling for massive spending eithrr like the old days, but there is a way to grow, win and become financially sustainable without being a feeder club. That’s what M&M pushed for
#redbirdout.
Turning 1 player into 2 is hardly amazing business.
If we’re actually serious about this we’d sell Leao and Maignan both of whom could be replaced for about 20% of their sale value, leaving us about EU120 to 150m to spare.
That’s squad changing.
Instead we’re going to sell a future captain and lynchpin of a side for an era so that we can buy 1 extra player. This is done because ownership wont loosen the purse strings for the 1 mercato it would take to put the pieces together.
It looks like that extra player is going to be some sh1t Chelsea spent too much money one (and who is considered to be good because of the amount of money that was spent on him).
Do you know how football club get commercial revenue? By using their brand, the higher the brand, the more income from merchandising and sponsorship. That is the reason Cardinale promised to build the brand.
But what is he doing instead? Sacking legend and going to sell a player who top the shirt sales. What Cardinale did hurt and diminish Milan brand. We will be viewed as transit club instead of top club.
reminds me of the botched big money transfer of El sharaawy to Russia. he was on 1.8m and was offered +6m. galliani called him in and told him of the offer, E92 refused and said he had the ambition of being captain. Milan missed out on that deal, next months after, all sorts of rumors filtered out and he was bundled out of the club.
If the club told him and offer came and they rejected it: he would have been happy he was valued. but when told that they were listening to offers, he understood the unspoken message.
All loyalists of maldini would soon be flashed out .
let’s see who comes in as replacement, I doubt it’s SMS..
It is baffling how so many people here basically think it’s either that Milan is selling Tonali regardless of his will, or Tonali is chasing money and is happy to leave.
In a relationship like this, there are so many factors that determine whether a player leaves or stays. No need to name them all, but the biggest one, amiability and mutual agreement, is not even considered here. Remember Zlatan leaving? He was happy to stay yet was convinced to leave because Milan needed the money. So, he didn’t insist on staying or made any fuss about the move.
Once again, we will have to wait and see whether this will be right move or not. But until we see the final team for next, season, please hold your horses.
That’s the fun thing. We don’t need money. We already have enough to invest. We have no reason to sell Tonali or be willing to listen to offers for.a 23 year old who is on the rise as a player.
When the club you had sacrificed your salary for, is willing to sell you by completely throwing off loyalty or respect… Not leaving would be a crime.
We do need the money as we have many gaps to fill and if our mercato is only 35mil + profits from sales, then this move makes a lot of sense.
So, you as a Milan fan, just accepted that our mercato being 35 mil after reaching up to UCL semi is just the best decision from Cardinale and that tapeworm DESPERATELY NEEDs to sell our best players to fund transfers that Milan can easily fund without.. selling? LOL And there was no one else to sell other than our BEST players first? The level of Copium there.. is too damn high lol
Exactly.
If we sign Thuram and Kamada for free and reinvent CDK as RW, our gap will only be DM and 35m is enough for that.
” We have no reason to sell Tonali or be willing to listen to offers”
Someone seems to be living under a rock and rejecting the real world. 😀 😀 😀
I’m schocked, the man who wanted to be a Milan legend leaves… I loved this boy, I even have a mug with his surname… I dont know what to do now, I feel like something died in me. I’m about to stop watching football i think, of course i knew how much impact has money on todays football but today I just realized it… Maybe i need a break, i dont know…
The question is why?
If selling Sandro – who is far from complete in my opinion, for Prem level money gets us two Sandros in return, grazie e ciao.
If it’s because he wants the crazy wages, we can’t do anything about that and possibly need to get used to it. This hasn’t happened for the past 10 years simply because we haven’t had desirable players until now. We can’t compete economically with English teams.
If it’s all about profit that quietly gets sucked into a black hole, then we know for sure we are dealing with crooks.
Guys don’t put it on tonali. If you guys remember he was the first player to sign new deal with Milan. You should put the blame on brokebird instead probably they sold him because broke Americans can’t pay up the loan . Who we get frattesi? They already rejected 40m how much are we gonna pay? Brokebird destroying the squad and they are not even one year full in Milan wtf
Chukwueze? Again they want 40 m who?
Newcastle are owned by terrorists. Tonali is scum.
Are you high? Asking for a concerned audience…
This Milan management trets Milan as if it was Dortmund. Tonali is a cornerstone of the team. They are just willing to sell him like that…
And what about the whole sign players for the future? That isn’t really happening.
This management is a joke. How can they be so passive?
I’m felling disillusioned by current Milan. Doesn’t feel like it’s Milan.
What’s even the point to signing players for the future would be for Milan anyway? Tonali is a player for both the present and the future and we are selling him. So any future prospect is evidently be acquired only to be sold. We aren’t aiming to win, that’s pretty much cemented as Bird$hit wants to sell Tonali.
Listen, if this goes through, or I should say when this goes through, it’s because not only was the club open to a sale, but also the player himself was open to leave. This is a two-way street.
If Sandra says no, this transfer does not go through. Of course, I would be curious to find out why he would be open to move.
When you find out your club is willing and probably pushing you away would you want to stay? They accepted Newcastles terms and allowed th to speak to the player so clearly they don’t want him. I get 80 million is too much money to pass up on, especially for a midfielder like tonali. It’s just the fact that he was a true milanista and there aren’t many of those around anymore.
If they find suitable replacements it would be a great deal on paper. I mean ude Bellingham was sold for 100m and were getting 80m for tonali. That’s quite impressive even though I don’t like this deal lol
These see different times, where money speaks louder. These aren’t the days of romanticizing Milan and players and family and loyalty. I miss those times but we have to adapt and move on.
We kept supporting Milan after Kaka and Sheva, right? They both swore over for Milan but Silvio sold them. This is the same just under new owners.
It hurts to see him go, but if the proceeds from his sale, help us improve our squad, and elevate the quality, then I’m all for it.
@ACM1899
Not really. Kaka Sheva Thiago ibra’s sale was different. Club was in massive debt and was at the verge of bankruptcy. We didn’t sell just to make more money for the club. We HAD to sell.
This time, we have no reason to sell. We are selling just for the money. Our Squad can be improved the same without his sale just from the winnings of last season. That’s the whole point of the feeder club mentality Cardinale has brought here by declaring everyone for sale.
You’re right – we HAD to sell because of how Berlusconi ran the ship. So much so that we got sold off to shady Chinese. The Americans are running a tight ship here clearly. Nobody really knows what the budget is or how the profits are allocated. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the plans to build the stadium.
So, Call it feeder, call it whatever.. I just want to see my club improved, and if Tonali’s sale facilitates that, then as much as my heart breaks for his departure, I’ll be OK with it if the club signs good players. I’ll give RedBird the benefit of the doubt until season.
If it all goes to $hit – call me out on it. I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong.
True.. It surely has a lot to do with the plans to build the stadium. Somehow.. Elliot was ready to move for the Cathedrale project with the current financial state of Milan but Cardinale ‘needs’ sales? And that too of a genuine player with deep passion towards Milan? Doesn’t it bother you as a Milan fan?
It already went to $hit my friend. Tonali’s sale wasn’t necessary to facilitate any of the transfer we want this season. We could easily afford a 80 mil budget without the sale of Tonali. That effectively sustains Kamada, Thuram, RLC/backupCDM, Guler and SMS.
We lost a Milanista player who bled red and black just to satisfy the hunger for money of the club owner. If we needed money, Tomori should be the option to sell, or Saele. Not TONALI. Key players are untouchable in Winner clubs. They are on sale only on Feeder clubs.
We can sign Kamada, Thuram, Guler, and RLC with just 35m budget.
“So, Call it feeder, call it whatever.. I just want to see my club improved, and if Tonali’s sale facilitates that, then as much as my heart breaks for his departure, I’ll be OK with it if the club signs good players. I’ll give RedBird the benefit of the doubt until season. ”
Exactly. 100% behind this.
Every single club on the planet is a feeder club to the English top 7 and probably PSG and Real. That’s how football works now. That’s not Redbirds faults. The jury is definitively out on their long term motives but we can’t blame them for saying yes to 80m for an incomplete (imo) player.
The sale isn’t what’s interesting here, it’s what happens to the money from the sale that I want to see. Neither you, or I, or anyone else on here knows the answer to that yet.
If Milan sell Tonali, it prove that Redbird want Milan to operate like Dortmund. This is not a way to build huge global brand like Real Madrid did. For Milan to have huge global brand, Milan must be where top players play at their peak, not just where young players learn before moving to other club for the peak of their career.
Milan don’t have to sell Tonali to prove that. Just that Bird$hit is willing to sell him is proof enough.
The idea that a club is willing to let a 23 y/o fan favorite who is getting better every season and sacrificed salary to be in this club to leave when we don’t even need money this season to invest since we already have enough from our sporting successes last season.. pretty much says it all.
Somebody need to put some sense in Cardinale’s head. He can’t build a club brand by turning the club into transit club instead of top club.
Cardinale bots are out on full force on this issue. As if they have been preped before the story broke. They are spinning this off as if tonali is the one to be blamed as he pulled another dollarruma move. Please, go watch baseball. Apparently they haven’t been following this team long enough to know that tonali loves this club, and already proved it by taking a paycut and leaving his heart on the pitch. #redbirdout.
If at the end of the summer, our team is stronger, and a higher quality, you’re still going to cry for a change of ownership?
What about at the end of next season, if theoretically speaking, our results are better than the current season, are you still wanting to fire the ownership?
Time will tell, and i hope im wrong. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong period. The real quastion is will you go back to baseball? Or get another intern gig as cardinale pr bot?
No, but I WILL call you out on your corny @$$ sense of humor… LMAO!!!
It’s sarcasm, dip$#@t.
And what happen if our other stars demand move after seeing this? They stay because they believe in a project despite the low wage. But now one of the cornerstones of the project is being removed.
Selling Tonali isnt the end of the world. The big question is using the money properly.
What hurts the most is… We had the best financial season in 15 years plus There was no investment in the last winter either.. We didn’t need to sell Tonali for Frattesi, SMS, RLC or Anyone whatsoever. We had enough money from UCL run and Serie a to make all of them happen plus A striker with the money we made last season.
You know what’s the fckn worse part? At least Dortmund sells to the real giants, like RM/City/PSG/Manu/Bayern and the likes and we… are willing to sell our future captain to FCKN Newcastle. LOL
Wanna know what even worse thing is? In the entire history of Milan, Even in our worst times.. aka Banter era.. we weren’t a feeder club. LOL
Did you cry for Berlusconi to get out when they sold Kaka & Sheva? Just out of curiosity…
Milan was in massive debt. We were forced to sell. kaka was sold first to reduce the burden of debt. But it didn’t. Then the next season if we didn’t make a huge amount of money, Club would’ve gone bankrupt so Berlu had to sell. We didn’t sell because Berlu wanted to make money. We sold because we were forced to. Who is forcing Cardinale now? We aren’t in debt. We aren’t bankrupt, we have enough money to invest, we don’t have a footballing god rising up the ranks to replace tonali. This is just a step to become a feeding club.
KNOW the history of the club you support.
I’m well aware of the history, but it makes a difference to you that Milan had to sell because of self inflicted wounds by Berlusconi? Circumstances aside, you digested the loss of club icons and continued to support, right?
(If I am a RedBird Bot, I hope they pay me good, because God Damn…)
Calling a tapeworm a ‘tapeworm’ doesn’t mean my love for Milan is diminished. lol i will Always support Milan no matter what. Supporting Milan, And blindly agreeing to every decision Cardinale makes, are Not the same thing my friend.
No one will doubt Berlu’s passion for Milan, even though he single handedly both built and destroyed Milan. But Cardinale… that tapeworm hasn’t showed a SINGLE sign that he even cares about Football, the sports in general, enough in over a season in charge of Milan. Dude didn’t even celebrate Toulouse’s promotion to Ligue 1. So FCK Cardinale and Forza Milan. lmfao
We weren’t a feeder club at banter era because our players simply isn’t good enough.
We still sell Thiago Silva, Ibra, Kaka, Sheva, Pirlo, Locatelli, Balotelli, Bonucci, Piatek.. Basically all players who worth something.
And Dortmund sell players to highest bidders. And after they accept the offer the player still need to approve the transfer.
So if he go to Newcastle, it’s also Tonali agreement, it’s not only on the club.
“You know what’s the fckn worse part? At least Dortmund sells to the real giants, like RM/City/PSG/Manu/Bayern and the likes and we… are willing to sell our future captain to FCKN Newcastle. LOL”
Dortmund sells Billingham to Real for 100M€. Milan sells Tonali to Newcastle for 80M€. Which of the 4 clubs made the best deal? Now be honest. It’s so bloody obvious the deal is something no should say no to.
“Even in our worst times.. aka Banter era.. we weren’t a feeder club. LOL”
So you’d prefer Li’s glorious times over building a better team and actually competing for UCL-spots and trophies? Wow. I’m speechless. Feeder club? Milan is about to sell ONE PLAYER. ONE and people claiming to be “fans” are furious for selling a player. Just couple of weeks ago people were bashing Maldini for not selling players. And now that they do sell one, people are bashing again. LOL. Just make up your minds already.
Still waiting for the new Tonali shirt to be delivered -_- great
Tonali can stop pretending he is better than the rest, it’s just another one.
Forza Monza?
Don’t know what should I take about this. Will be sad to see him go though, but my thinking are
1. 80m, I think is too cheap, at least 100m needed. But it will give capital gain and big money for transfer
2. Taking a 400k paycut (1.6m to 1.2m) is different than taking 3x the wage (2.x to 8m). That’s really huge money you know.
3. In transfer there is always 2 parties involved. If he really go, Sandro also willing to go and put the sign on the contracts. If that is the case, then good luck for him.
4. Hopefully all the money from the transfer will be used to buy 2 players. If we really get Frattesi(35m)+ SMS(35m)+ some funds to get Chukwueze (or Arda Guler) from Sandro tbh I think it’s worth it.
And why is it so hard to comment these days? There is always “you’re comment too quickly”
It’s always hard to comment.
Do you really think Fratesi and SMS can replace Tonali? They are not DM.
I bet some of those idiot fans who said they wouldn’t want to be Newcastle with all that “dirty” Arab money are feeling pretty dumb right about now lol
My personal preference:
1. Saudi
2. Was Redbird but now Elliot
3. Was Elliot but now Redbird
4. Investcorp (I still don’t like their debt scheme)
Fabrizio Romano & Anto vitiello already say it too. Deal probably in 70m euro cash + 10m euro bonus for AC Milan . For tonali that will be huge salary too 8m euro nett + bonus 2m euro , more than double from his salary in AC Milan . Good luck sandro in your journey with newcastle . This will hurt heart of many fans in the world include me. I dont mind if ACM sell theo or tomori but this selling tonali an italian ,true milanista ,future captain for ACM disappoint me . If RedBird dont buy SMS or frattesi + samuel chukwu with that 70m euro from tonali that means RedBird not serious with this project and fans will riot
Milan could buy SMS or frattesi + chukwu + Kamada + Thuram without selling Tonali just simply with the money we made last season. You are finally seeing what some fans saw a long time ago. Cardinale isn’t here to win. He’s here for money.. even if it takes selling Milan brick by brick. It started with us being a feeder to a direct Rival. He Did the same $hit in Toulouse.
Bro, nobody said the money made last year will be allocated to signing new players. Takes a $hitload of money just to run the club and pay the wages without financial strain. If Furlani is selling Sandro, my guess is that’s because no one else is knocking on our door with 80mil offers for our players. And we needed the funds from that huge offer to further boost our squad.
Milan did shoot down the offer for Maignan to Chelsea, so some pieces to appear immovable. Leao and Mike are staying. Hopefully Theo and Isma too.
I don’t understand why all you see is Doom & Gloom…
How do you know we needed to sell to fund transfer? Maldini asked for 80 mil investment. No SD asks for investment when there is no money to invest. It’s doom and gloom.
We are selling one of our key players and best future prospect for no reason but money when we already have enough from last season and no Milan fan should be okay with Milan becoming a feeder club without ANY ambition to win.
Accounts are more complicated than money in/money out. The capital gain in a given asset, even if you reinvest the proceeds, looks good on the books and shuts uefa up.
I don’t like this either, but shouting on a forum won’t change modern football.
Redbird……want pay debt……sell everyone….redbird……including pioli…..that will pay your debt to elliot.
New Board dont have respect on Milan legend that give everything to his club, dont have respect on player that plays with his heart, the new board only think about money in ball
If we aren’t willing to spend 15M on a 28 – soon to be 29 year old Berardi I doubt we will spend 40M on a 28 soon to be 29 yr old SMS. That’s not the Redbird way. Resale value is all we care about. And 40M for Frattesi is an OVERPAY
80 for Sandro isn’t? 🙂
Touché! Tou-fcking-ché!
THE REAL WINNER IN ALL OF THIS IS
SEMPREMILAN!
134 comments on a thread?! I have never seen this much participation on this site before…. I Wonder if they get better advertisers and sponsorships now 🙂 Does Milan tell them what to say and what to write?
🙂
Haha, I think Maldini’s thread had even more comments though. But won’t bother to dig 🙂 Sometimes I wonder if the admin site purposely planted several posts that would incite riots just to fish for comments rofl.
BTW, just wondering, on another article you posted this:
“See now if RedBird sell him, I’ll be the first one to criticize them and anyone associated with them. Sandro is hopefully the captain next season. Davide needs to take a break.
FORZA SANDRO!”
I think you’re a lot more level headed person than me, so I am just wondering if this still stand?
Ouch!!
I have a feeling Poli is an inside man🤔
The way these ‘new fans’ post I simply can’t believe it
milan didnt need to sell tonali because we still have the money when we got the scudetto + the 125m that we won in cl this season + the money of the tickets this season so brokebird can put even 100m trnasfer budget because our salary isnt too high to manage. brokebird wants to build the stadium and paid the loan that he get from eliott company . also i really dont believe they can bring player same as tonali . frattesi isnt on tonalis level hes lower and hes roma fan
“milan didnt need to sell tonali because we still have the money when we got the scudetto + the 125m that we won in cl this season + the money of the tickets this season”
I believe running a football club has also costs. Like salaries, stadium rents etc. Ever wondered why Milan’s financials have been in red 20 times out of the last 19 seasons? 😀 😀 😀
LOL. 19 out of 20.
I support Tonali
Milan fan should burn down Milan casa
That owner should be in Italy anymore
Milan fan should revolt
Milan fan should go on strike
Since Maldini left Milan will go so down,everyone will leave , only Pioli will stay
Theo will leave Leo also , goalkeeper will leave too,
All good players will go
Right,,boycott these Leaders
He’ll be BACK. He’ll come stronger than eva, got trained in best league with good XP and Steel Mentality. And maybe he’ll come for free after years abroad in epl
Loads of hysteria here, I’m really fed up with this site. See you by the end of the silly season, GOODBYE.
@Gre-No-Li this is not an airport no need to announced your departure.
Milan is yet to find replacement for Kessie and Tonali is gone?
Milan is Doom.
Who is the animal that is taking Milan back to square one?
Well, what we have to say. In the past, when Berlusconi still in charge, Milan alse sold Shevchenko, Kaka, and Ancelloti moved too.
No wonder if now Tonali will be sold to Newcastle, and maybe another will to. Even Maignan in the last week we heard will be sold to Chelsea, but the player rejected.
Well this is business, and I think it’s okay, if Milan can get 2-3 good players more than Tonali.
Hope Tonali will have great future with Newcastle, and many thank you for your perform at Milan, that was superb
Maybe. If this is bussines, let’s show the owner that is a bad one. Boycott Milan on all fronts.
If the club owner is not as rich as Muhammed Bin Salman at least he should love this club more and be more responsible. We need a club owner who is responsible and has the ambition to bring this club to many trophies for AC MILAN fans
After supporting Milan for over 30years it’s time to find a new club unfortunately.
Settling to be a feeder club…I can’t
Personally, I’m going to stop watching football. Milan was the last blockage to do this. Watching any sport is “Bread and circuses.”
Cardinals is boehly with no money
Call me dramatic or whatever you want to call me but as the days goes i hate the world more and more but lets see how it goes but it looks bleak from my standpoint,
This might be a high fee on paper but a percentage of around 30% will go to brescia so what might seem as a high fee isnt as high as some might think. Basically its in the vicinity of 55 mil and that is actually only 10 mil above his valuation,
As much as im willing to wait and see how this mercato pans out i would prefer to see cardinale getting mauled by wild dogs as things stands.
They wants to build the milan brand and then sells the player that sells the most shirts and is a fan favourite, sure that makes sense for those clowns at the helm of the club.
Extremely disapointed.
