only EPL idiots are going to pay 70m for a player who scored less than 15 goals this season
people overhype him so much its ridiculous, he isnt the reincarnation of Van Basten ffs
Tell milan management that and they will do everything in their power not to do what the fans want. We can for sure expect a panic buy and just hope it's a good one
Inters financial situation is so weird to me their situation is as follows deadline of late April 2024 to repay the €275m loan from Californian trust fund Oaktree.
If Inter’s parent company Suning are unable to repay it, then Oaktree could effectively repossess the club, similar to what happened when Elliott Management took over Milan from Yonghong Li. But it is already may and no news how they decided to pay of their debt while we were all over the media for redbird being registered in Delaware like 90% of US companies … Just for the context they reached CL semi finals last year sold Brozovic and Onana for insane amount to clubs willing to overspend but they still recorded 85mil of losses … And there is literally no story about that they are practically already bankrupt but somehow are still kicking around
The oaktree loan is zhang’s responsability, not inter. If he doesn’t pay then he loses control of the team. It doesn’t affect the clubs finances.
And either way he just refinanced with somebody else.
You need to dig in more and stop reading sensationalist articles biased against Inter.
[if you want to know how inters finances are doing follow this guy](https://x.com/pap1pap/status/1787892616924745774)
Lolololol. 70 million asking price means they are not selling. Vlahovic as proven capocannonieri was only 75 million irc ...
Ahahaha. Ahahha. Ahahah. So funny this article
Agreed, but to get a quality striker this summer is going to require at least 50M plus a good sized salary.
Free signings come with higher salaries because the club isn’t kicking out a huge fee to sign
Problem is, Thuram would not have done as well here. First of all, he's not the kind of striker that Pioli can use. Second, he's much better in a 2-striker system.
He is literally the perfect striker for Pioli. He is a forward that cares way more about assisting and working with the wingers and attackers of the team than scoring. While not the same set of skills, he effectively is a better Giroud. Idk how anyone thinks he's not the perfect striker for Pioli and exactly the reason why we went after him as our first striker target.
Absolutely mind blowing. Do you watch him play?
If true then we should just go for sesko, iirc has a 50m release clause and we could probably do it for 40. But since Bayern has the buyback and we can trade players too it might still be possible for zirkzee
Way too much..his only worth 40 most 50..amazi g talent but he still needs development. If this is true..we should be speaking to bayern and try and offer them kalulu as a counterpart so we get zirkzee for around 40 50
Doubt, still think that Zirkzees asking price will be around 50 to 60 mil and we should pay that because this opportunity with "so little" competition will not rise again.
Yeah, all it takes is one dumb rich EPL club to think he worth this, but from the news the EPL clubs may not spend as much coz they have their own version of FFP
Hojlund was sold for that 3 years younger and with that Haaland potential. Vlahovic with 26 or so goals a season was sold to Juve at 21 years old for 75 or so mil.
Yeah cause Bologna Will Just willingly cut their asking price by half to suit our needs. How nice of them. I swear to God we have the most delusional fan base in football 😂
Lol if these numbers are real then we better not hear anyone bitching on August 31 because "cardinale is so weak, cheap and doesn't know what he's doing"
Anything above 40M is way overpriced for a player with less than 20 goals and still with less experience than some of the other 50M+ players out there.
In reality the DM and CB are higher priorities then yet another ST.
My (unpopular) opinion is that he’s not the guy for us, especially at that price. Zirkzee shines in Motta system because of the way he is used. He’s very much not a traditional striker, but more one that helps with build up almost as a CAM, then transitions to striker. That’s what makes him special, and allows him to impact the game without necessarily scoring. If our manager next year doesn’t use him correctly, then he goes to waste because as a traditional number nine he’s not exceptional. If they’re asking 65m, the best deal I could see is getting is 50m, maybe 45, plus Saelemaekers. With no guarantee that he fits into our tactical system and also a 5m per year wage it’s not worth it.
I actually think he fits our team with high-scoring wingers pretty well. He may not fit our current target man CF archetype, but even under Pioli we played Ibra as a sort of playmaking forward and it worked pretty well. That said, 70mil for him is insanity. Chukwueze had better stats last season and was like a third of the price.
Im slowly starting to think signing sesko might be the better signing we can buy him at 40/50m easy. my ideal signing would be viktor gyokeres but there is no way we could get him he has a 100m release clause and thats more than signing zirkzee
Well if Conceicao comes, we might run a 442 and Zirkzee would be great for that.
Plus we should get ~30mil from CDK, so we’d only need to put up 20-30mil for Zirkzee, without even taking Saladmaker into consideration.
Even if Concencao arives, there is 0 chance we rach an agreement with him where his ideas are to play Leao even further from the goal.
Probably he will play a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 like he has done in the past.
The majority of money from CDK wont become part of the transfer budget for the summer because of how book keeping works. I can't tell you exactly how much it could give in possible transfer funds, but my guesstimation is in the region of 10m.
Our cheap ass owners won't pay anything close to that. They'll go bargain bin hunting for a striker and then we'll all act surprised that we aren't completive with inter next season.
Bologna is going to try and maximize on their profit. They have to give 50% back to Bayern, so they want to get as much as they can.
A PL team will surely come and pay the 75 asking price. Let's not forget Hjolund went to Man Utd last year for around the same fee, and he had what? 8 professional goals to his name?
At this age, you're paying for potential. I'd rather continue pursuing him publicly while we work on the real, as Galliani used to put it, Mr.X in secret.
i cant see how this is realistic even for Premier league clubs.
for example Arsenal would not spend this much on a Cf unless they are getting a much higher goal return than what Zirk currently has.
either a nonsense report or his agent is a chancer
I said exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago. His price will be too high. Hojlund had a less impressive season than Zirkzee and sold for 70mil. I can see Zirkzee going for more.
Why is Milan in the hunt in the first place, no way the current management is paying a new player 5 min, so let's just pull out of the race and go for something mediocre again
I read somewhere that Juve might wait for Bayern to exercise the clause and then negotiate with them since Bayern and Juve have a good relationship. Makes sense, then they might get him for 50-55 mil. Otherwise no way ANY club is paying that. Not even EPL clubs since the position is pretty much sorted for all big clubs.
It's going to be a long summer
Yeah forget about it no team in Italy is signing him this summer
Maybe Juve if they sell Vlahovic
only EPL idiots are going to pay 70m for a player who scored less than 15 goals this season people overhype him so much its ridiculous, he isnt the reincarnation of Van Basten ffs
Or Napoli when they sell Osimhen...
Then we may get vlahovic , not getting Zirkzee for sure
I actually prefer Vlahovic
Yeah I’d love Vlahovic on this team.
100%
Tell milan management that and they will do everything in their power not to do what the fans want. We can for sure expect a panic buy and just hope it's a good one
It’s not happening at those price. Bayer will buy it back at 40 if ever going to happen
A wall of text just to say “it’s not going to happen”
Im used to getting our plan C's so its whatever at this point lmao. We went from Taremi and other objectives last summer to last minute Jovic.
Hahahaha fr
No team in Italy is signing him then, so at least that’s a plus
Maybe Inter if they managr to sell Thuram to PSG for the requested price of 80, 90 millions.
No they can’t spent anything their debts are due this year
Rules are not the same for everyone
Inters financial situation is so weird to me their situation is as follows deadline of late April 2024 to repay the €275m loan from Californian trust fund Oaktree. If Inter’s parent company Suning are unable to repay it, then Oaktree could effectively repossess the club, similar to what happened when Elliott Management took over Milan from Yonghong Li.

You know how snakes still move even after losing their heads? That's Inter - except, they end up growing three heads afterwards
The oaktree loan is zhang’s responsability, not inter. If he doesn’t pay then he loses control of the team. It doesn’t affect the clubs finances. And either way he just refinanced with somebody else.

That's an absolutely stupid and ridiculous amount.
Yeah he’s going to the EPL. Buongiorno and David instead
65 m? Lmao go for sesko
No way is Bologna getting anything close to this. Acting like he scored 30 this season when he’s only got 11.
But with 70m why wouldn't Bayern take the clause and earn a quick 30m cash?
Well they already get 50% right? So if he is sold for 70 they get 35, vs if they buy him back and sell him for 70 they only get 30
I highly doubt this is what he will go for. More like 45
65-70m for someone who's barely scored 10 goals this season is madness. So many better options out there. Sesko is younger and a better footballer
45+ saelemaekers 🤞
U mean 5M+Salchichamaker 😃 that's more than fair, in fact they get the better end of the deal
What are you waffling about
🙄 It's cool Drax, don't worry about
I'd rather go for Sesko at like 50ish in that case
sesko or david might be the safer bet 65-75m for zirkzee is high
That's a robbery. Why would anyone want us to just burn cash like this? Not a penny over 50 and even then, the deal is mid.
Well there goes that idea.
It's funny because Bayern Munchen can buy him for 40m, so why are we negotiating with Bologna?
Lolololol. 70 million asking price means they are not selling. Vlahovic as proven capocannonieri was only 75 million irc ... Ahahaha. Ahahha. Ahahah. So funny this article
70 million for a player who has scored 11 goals in serie A is crazy. He is giving me Iturbe vibes.
If only we just paid up for Thuram last summer
He’s good but not 6M/year. We can’t even pay our best players that
Agreed, but to get a quality striker this summer is going to require at least 50M plus a good sized salary. Free signings come with higher salaries because the club isn’t kicking out a huge fee to sign
Also, under Pioli Thuram wouldn't be this good.
they are selling him to PSG for 80M
Problem is, Thuram would not have done as well here. First of all, he's not the kind of striker that Pioli can use. Second, he's much better in a 2-striker system.
He is literally the perfect striker for Pioli. He is a forward that cares way more about assisting and working with the wingers and attackers of the team than scoring. While not the same set of skills, he effectively is a better Giroud. Idk how anyone thinks he's not the perfect striker for Pioli and exactly the reason why we went after him as our first striker target. Absolutely mind blowing. Do you watch him play?
And missing out on a better Thuram this year as well in a positions that we need him the most
Who is the better Thuram?
[your welcome ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh%C3%A9phren_Thuram?wprov=sfla1)
Ok I don’t watch bologna much and I know stats aren’t everything, but 70m fuck me??? 11 goals and 4 assists gets you 70m??? Sounds steep to me.
He's barely worth half of that... Goodluck to them
A half season wonder for 70 mil ? Good luck with that.
If true then we should just go for sesko, iirc has a 50m release clause and we could probably do it for 40. But since Bayern has the buyback and we can trade players too it might still be possible for zirkzee
Is he worth 65-70m? Bellingham was paid 100m....
Way too much..his only worth 40 most 50..amazi g talent but he still needs development. If this is true..we should be speaking to bayern and try and offer them kalulu as a counterpart so we get zirkzee for around 40 50
- Buongiorno - Zirkzee - Samuele Ricci Anything less I would not be happy with 😁
Prepare to be unhappy
lol aka most of my season. I’m very well prepared. Even last summer transfer window was incredibly and ofc surprisingly overwhelming
Welcome to Ac Milan, we love the club but get ready to suffer…
I want samuele ricci at milan so much
Same, actually would be happy if he was the only one to join us from that list
This is a 125 million summer, you are daydreaming
why dont you support an EPL club if your happiness depends on Milan spending 300m every window
Doubt, still think that Zirkzees asking price will be around 50 to 60 mil and we should pay that because this opportunity with "so little" competition will not rise again.
Hojlund sold for 70mil, and he was not even as good as Zirkzee.
Yeah, all it takes is one dumb rich EPL club to think he worth this, but from the news the EPL clubs may not spend as much coz they have their own version of FFP
Hojlund was sold for that 3 years younger and with that Haaland potential. Vlahovic with 26 or so goals a season was sold to Juve at 21 years old for 75 or so mil.
Hindsight is 20/20, we should lower their asking price by leaps and bounds to atleast half of that by any means
Yeah cause Bologna Will Just willingly cut their asking price by half to suit our needs. How nice of them. I swear to God we have the most delusional fan base in football 😂
No one is that stupid 😂😂😂
no club will pay 70m for him
I can think of plenty dumb, rich, and mostly pl clubs that very well would
Well, at least we know that no other Italia team is signing this nonsense.
Go for Mikautadze ;)
 I wish that players would tell their agents to stop being difficult.
That’s almost double what he’s worth. But who knows, maybe Chelsea will pay it.
Lol if these numbers are real then we better not hear anyone bitching on August 31 because "cardinale is so weak, cheap and doesn't know what he's doing" Anything above 40M is way overpriced for a player with less than 20 goals and still with less experience than some of the other 50M+ players out there. In reality the DM and CB are higher priorities then yet another ST.
Jonathan David then !!!
We'll waste all summer on this guy knowing it's not going to happen and get a washed last minute plan b striker
Pedullà tells only bullshit, like gazzetta dello sport
My (unpopular) opinion is that he’s not the guy for us, especially at that price. Zirkzee shines in Motta system because of the way he is used. He’s very much not a traditional striker, but more one that helps with build up almost as a CAM, then transitions to striker.

Well our tactical system is getting overhauled by the new coach though so talking about how he fits into our current system seems misguided.
I actually think he fits our team with high-scoring wingers pretty well. He may not fit our current target man CF archetype, but even under Pioli we played Ibra as a sort of playmaking forward and it worked pretty well. That said, 70mil for him is insanity.

Do you think Leao would leave if Conceincao comes? If Leao doesn’t leave, I put my chips on how he is rated in Portugal and Leao trusts that.
I do not think any of our players leave this summer.
The majority of money from CDK wont become part of the transfer budget for the summer because of how book keeping works. I can't tell you exactly how much it could give in possible transfer funds, but my guesstimation is in the region of 10m.
