FIF's dramatic last day of the mercato thread: summer 2021

Moise Kean. 7M€ 2 year loan, 28M€ obligation +3M€ bonus. 38M€

Rube are literally screaming for Dzeko& Giroud like CF with experience, but they are splashing almost 40M€ for a Kean, giving him No.7 shirt.

Thank god we have Beppe.

Crotone president just confirms that Junior Messias will go to Milan

Their squad depth is terrible. I predicted similar outcomes as last season i.e. Milan playing good for some matches with the same lineup. Until they get tired and CL fixtures kills them out.

I am really enjoying the situation at Milan with AM. Despite the "celebrations" of Milanisti for Inter saving them from Hakan, Marotta really fucked up their mercato. While Maldini was expecting Donnarumma departure, he was caught of guard with Hakan. He probably thought Hakan would eventually sign an extension due to lack of options. Throughout the summer they were linked with some high profile names for AM position. James, Isco, Coutinho, Bernardo Silva, Vlasic only to end up with a guy who made his professional debut at the age of 26 with a Serie D side and he made his debut in a first division in 2020/21 at the age of 29. You can't make this shit up.

Tbh they improved the squad depth a bit. Bakayoko is better than Meite, Florenzi is better than Dalot, the benchwarmer from Monaco is better than no one Milan had last season as Theo backup and Giroud is a quality bench option. But they got worse both in AM and RW. Their entire season counts on Diaz making a major step up else their screwed.

Love the 20m option of Italian media became a 35m obligation like UK media always reported. Prostituzione intellettuale.

Ronaldo to Manchester for 15mln€ payable in 5 financial years, which might be increased, up to a maximum of 8mln€. This operation generates a negative economic impact of approximately 14mln€ on the 2020/2021 financial year.

doesn't Brahim Díaz play AM and doing pretty ok job...people here talking about Milan like they didn't finish second last year, ok it was stretched, but we could turn to our shit past new year and with our squad depth of Gags, Vecino and Rano, not to mention Kolarov for fuck’s sake, and we finish behind Milan,
think Roma, Milan and Lazio started way better and more convincing than we did with our win over Genoa and first half against Verona that is by far the shittiest half in couple of years,
I mean, our AM options are inconsistent Hakan from Milan and Sensi who can stay healthy for shit...

The problem is Milan need Diaz to do more than ok. Hakan contributed in 14 goals for Milan last season so they need to get those numbers from other players. Their other options are inconsistent Rebic and Leao on the left and the Belgian dude and Castillejo on the right who aren't good enough to start for a top side. They also got 15 goals from penalties last season. They could be in serious trouble in attack.

well I do hope that happens...

Lautaro agent confirmed there's an agreement with Inter for an extension and that's what Lautaro always wanted.

I think he's a good player tbh. With him and Giro i think Maldini done good strengthening their attack without spending big.

It looks like Zaccagni move to Lazio isn't a certainty. There's an agreement between the clubs but there's no agreement with the player. Zaccagni is asking for 2m while Lotito isn't willing to offer more than 1.5m.

According to Gazzetta, Juve will make one last attempt for Pjanic. The issue remains who's gonna pay his 8.5m net salary. Barcelona want a club to pay his wages in full while Juventus want Barcelona to pay a part of his wages.

According to Pedulla, Cagliari made another attempt for Satriano but Inter's response remains the same: NO

According to reliable Mike Verweij, Barcelona and Villareal have made enquires about Onana but a deal remains very difficult.

The most dramatic thing is, would Jube get Icardi or not?

It obviously does not depend on them, so I doubt they are landing him today.

Also, the official figures have been released - it seems that Man Utd are not 100% retarded as they did not pay the entire asking price. Penaldo costed them € 15m payable in five financial years, which might be increased, up to a maximum of €8 million, upon achievement of specific performance objectives > generating them a loss:
“This operation generates a negative economic impact of approximately € 14 million on the 2020/2021 financial year due to the partial write-down of the net book value of the player’s registration rights,” the Bianconeri announced.




They have also seemingly overpayed for Kean on 7m loan with an obligation to buy from Everton (definitive acquisition is € 28 million, payable in three years. Furthermore, a maximum of € 3 million of cumulative bonuses are envisaged upon achievement of further sporting performance objectives.”) > Merda could pay up to €38m to sign the player on a permanent deal after selling him to Everton for €30m.

EDIT: @Jnr and @qb4ever_2k beat me to it Nevermind, let`s all enjoy these news hahahah

TARE REVEALS FRANKFURT CHANGED THEIR MIND ABOUT LAZIO TARGET KOSTIC ​

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare has revealed Eintracht Frankfurt are not willing to sell Filip Kostic after all. ‘I was surprised’.

Reports emerged regarding a possible move for the Serbian winger, who seemed to be on the verge of joining Maurizio Sarri’s side.

But sporting director Tare has revealed the negotiations with the Bundesliga side fell through in an interview with Bild.

“I was surprised that Frankfurt is now saying that Kostic is not on the market and that it’s not a question of price,” Tare told the German newspaper.

“I didn’t have an impression from our talks that Kostic was not allowed to leave the club. We would have been willing to negotiate the price again.

“But it didn’t come to that. Six or seven days ago, I already informed Markus Krösche that we wanted Kostic.

“We confirmed this by email, as requested. Then it was publicly stated that there was no offer.”

THANK GOD WE HAVE DON BEPPE!

Good and good. I want Satriano on loan but I do not want him at Cagliari, those dickheads.

Allegri would have managed to get a decent season out of Pjanic. Better for their midfield to stay dysfunctional.

According to Sky, Juventus will make one last attempt for Icardi. According to Gazzetta, it's mercato chiuso for Juve.

Some deadline day deals from the rest of Serie A

Tomiyasu to Arsenal for 20m plus bonuses

Brekalo of Wolfsburg to Torino on loan with option to buy

Fares close to Genoa

Juventus have sent 3 youngsters to Serie A sides on loan. Delli Carri to Salernitana, Dragusin to Sampdoria, Ranocchia to Vincenza.

I have actually changed my mind about Ronaldo sale. Selling him with minusvalenza and signing only Moise Kean for 35m is actually great.

Milan's mercato is also closed. Messias is expected to be their last signing.

Selling Ronaldo is a great decision on the long term, but short term (this season) they will pay for it. This Juventus will not have a shot at the scudetto.

His contract was set to expire after this season. Can't really call this a long term decision.

What did he cost them? 40-50 million a year? So they saved 40-50 million + 15 million fee they got from Man Utd.
They are freed a year early from a contract that was strangling them financially.

My biggest worry about this mercato is the lack of news on a Brozovic extension. His contract is up next summer and we cannot afford to lose him on a free.
