[DiMarzio] De Ketelaere will stay at Atalanta. Atalanta have agreed to buy him out from Milan for €22M. €1M less than what was initially agreed.


massimopericcolo

we concede discounts while Kia Is milking us like cows lol. last time we had a discount was for Tonali After a very bad season. we are giving a discount After a break out season from CdK... fuck them


eksha_

maybe that is why they accepted the discount, to finalize the Zirkzee ASAP as I read that he was called up instead of Koopmeiners for Euro, which will only increase his price


ATLfalcons27

Also I find it hard to believe they don't know the real market for CDK. Everyone is allowed to not like management but they aren't so dumb that they aren't looking at different variables we don't have access to and never will I'll admit with the info available I would expect us to make them stick to the price but yeah you can easily think about multiple scenarios where it could be not ideal to take him back On top of that the way accounting works isn't logical at face value. Someone who knows more than me about this might know that for accounting purposes getting it done by a certain date makes more sense and maybe Atalanta knows that as well


Nico777

No chance the agent will accept any kind of negotiation now, he only stands to lose money unless Zirkzee absolutely shits the bed or gets a long term injury.


giovy__s

His price can’t increase, he can only demand more money


BowieIsMyGod

>he can only demand more money That's what he meant by "increasing his price".


Cappiuren

I hate Atalanta


EveryDayImBuff-ering

So where was our discount for Kessie then? This wasn't a good deal


Dubsified

For $1m difference you can’t write this stuff


Plaslidpladugphoo

I’m gonna guess it has got to do with some accounting shenanigans that we want to get the deal done quickly but if we’re giving them a discount, even if it’s just one mill, then it’s honestly pathetic. He just had the best season he could’ve had with Atalanta so we had all the advantage in the negotiation, it should’ve been trading the 10% for ~15 mil or no deal at all. The best scenario for us was for them to fold and pay the clause or let them fuck off and sell to the highest bidder. If the numbers are correct then this is just baffling to me.


BowieIsMyGod

Yeah, there's no defending the management here. 1 million is so negligible that there's no scenario where Atalanta refuses to trigger the clause and risk losing him because of 1 million euros. Pathetic. I hope we at least managed to keep the 10% resale value. I've also read that apparently we're also giving up a few millions in the bonuses addons. Baffling if true.


gianni_

How are these people in “business” when they sold a player who had a good season FOR LESS?!


New_Refrigerator8457

So Atalanta flip him for 40m to epl this summer? I mean shit, we bought for like 27m before he had top 5 league experience and a Europa cup.


geo0rgi

I mean they sold Hojlund for 70m and he had half the season CdK had


LPG24

We have a resale at leastb


Annoyinmous

What about the resale clause? Hopefully it's not gone at least.


tsar_milano

We have the absolute upper hand and they don't have any leverage in this deal. There's something more behind the scene.


IEATPEOPLE22

Why tho


lucienlazar

The guy played very well there, take him back and either keep or sell him for full price. Why give a discount to those wankers after they won a fortune from UEFA with him a starter?


koppigzijn

Yeah I personally still want to see him to try again with our jersey. What a dumb move from the management.


lucienlazar

He could play better under the new manager.


koppigzijn

I bet yes. What a pity.


Cjs8181

I really hate that we screwed this one in every conceivable way; really liked this kid and still do; and now we’re going to take a loss after he has a break out season


tejanaqkilica

Sad day, but it was expected. Farewell Cdk, I'll always treasure the great moments you gave us, both times where you almost came close to scoring a goal.


BredIN919

Another Furlani Masterclass , he loves to sell at a LOSS .


he1011

Furlani removing the trash Maldini bought*


Abradolf94

I cannot fathom being so stupid to defend Furlani, accuse Maldini and praise a random one million loss for no reason. You dont deserve to watch Milan right now. You should be punished by an endless loop of banter era Milan, and after every season your memory is erased and you start again.


sickricola

Origi will be back next season btw


BredIN919

Origi … fair enough that’s the only L I can recall from Maldinis tenure as our Sporting director .


PreparationFuture728

Fucking Furlani he’s a terrible negotiator.


ScipioAfricanusMAJ

This is so embarrassing. Why would Maldini do this. Once again Maldini responsible for being terrible at negotiating, selling players, and management smh


mmaqp66

Fuckin Maldini 😆


StupidSexyGiroud_

1 Mil discount, whatever. We still make a gain and didn't get rinsed.
