Also anyone playing down Milan’s pre season form is about to get cooked

No one is playing it down, they are the Preseason Scudetto winners.

Milan is beating everyone in their preseason. City, Real and Barca. They can have a strong start of the season, but I don't see them in the long run.

Beating all these big names brings short term confidence, but all the pressure on Fonseca will be on any weekend when the season starts. One bad day in Parma, Udinese or Como and you are instantly trailing. Failing few weekends is not an option when you want your 2nd star.

Interesting to see how much Juve will pay to get him.

It was rumoured Juve were offering 45m plus bonuses but Atalanta insisted on 60m. Then Giuntoli leaked to the media he will sign two wingers instead of a winger and Koopmeiners. Atalanta still didn't budge from their valuation. Since it didn't work either now gobbi are resorting to their typical dirty tactics.

Both Fiorentina and Genoa have held talks with free agent David De Gea, but his salary demands – even with a massive cut from his Manchester United wage – make a deal unlikely

He took a sabbatical and now wants 5M 😅

De Gea update

Page seven of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Fiorentina have been in close contact with De Gea’s entourage to explore a possible deal this month, where he clearly laid out his requests.
The 33-year-old Spaniard asked for a one-year contract with an option for a second, worth €2m net plus €1m in add-ons in the first year rising to €3m plus €1m in add-ons in the second.

De Gea set for Fiorentina​

According to Alfredo Pedullà, it's a done deal. Salary is going to be a one-year contract worth €1m per season plus bonuses.

There is also an option to extend for a second year, where his salary would be doubled to €2m.

Excellent deal by Fiorentina, don't you think?

Milan had several of such marvellous preseason and still sucked when the season actually took off.

If only Giuntoli hadn't signed a Colombian nobody that Inter wanted as their 6th option only to piss off Marotta. Perhaps he would have the necessary funds to sign his top defensive target instead of losing him to West Ham of all clubs. Well tough luck

OGC Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo lost patience with Juventus and decided to accept the West Ham United proposal.

He felt disrespected by Juventus refusing to go beyond a loan with option to buy, refusing to give Nice an obligation.
He got a taste of what it feels like representing that dirty club.

Piemonte Calcio were confident that they had done enough with an increased offer worth €5m for the loan and an option to buy for a further €30m. :yao:
Delusional :lol:

I've been slightly apprehensive about the business Juventus has been doing, but as of today at least it's not looking as daunting as it could have been. The only player they have definitively signed so far who is a difference-maker is Douglas Luiz. They were more than interested in both Zirkzee and Calafiori and missed out on them, while the Koopmeiners deal is dragging on with Atalanta playing hardball - any or all of that trio would have made a huge difference to their first team.

Big blow for Jube! After Calafiori they also loose Todibo.

Isn't he a free agent? What does Panathinaikos have to do with that?
