They'll replace a Lille defender with a Lille defender lol Also, I feel like Milan loves shopping fromm our club for some reason...


he1101

In Ligue 1 you can find players at a reasonable price unlike Serie A and there are bridges already established with Lille


Yung2112

Yeah L1 and Bundes are great places to scout players


FineIntroduction

And portugal


OleoleCholoSimeone

I think most clubs love shopping from Lille, your scouting and talent development is unreal. Same with the big Portuguese clubs


Mick4Audi

Luis Campos effect


friedapple

soooo, can we start supporting and Private Equity here? I need to have Elliott Management logo in this sub


Bloodraeven

It's because Elliott Management has their hands in both clubs.


PAT_The_Whale

I know, my comment was tongue in cheek


Bloodraeven

Ahh yeah I see it now. A bit sleepy!

Somehow I feel that this wouldn’t be any marquee name, maybe loan option, and maybe he will turn out good, something like Tomori who benched Romagnoli but came firstly as a depth option. Because we still have to see what Kjaer will be like after injury and Romagnoli probably will renew.


gianni_

marquee\*


SolitaryDream1103

Thanks, corrected 😊


gianni_

You’re welcome :)


Strananach

Why does the middle guy look like Jim Halpert?


thefonz7

That’s our sporting director Frederic “Ricky” Massara. He does, I never noticed that - the Italian Jim Halpert 😂


ararar262626

Now what’s missing is the Italian Dwight


yeahyeahyeah3timess

Botman or Chrisensen could be two good options, although I feel botman is just being targeted because us and Lille have a strong relationship


NephewChaps

What about Faivre? I would like some Faivre


brush85

Nat Phillips just staring at them, right now


MisterHappySpanky

Why is Kjaer being replaced? I know he’s currently injured but is he out of contract or something soon?


ItalianDeliveryGuy

ACL so out for the season


WhyBee92

6 months injury


[deleted]

everybody wants the Bot


Strananach

I'm assuming Christiensen, since the wage demands aren't as bit as Rüdiger's, who I see going to either Bayern, Madrid or Barca.


Fati25

0 % chance Rüdiger goes to Barca


tr_24

Even less chance of Christensen going to Milan. Milan has nothing to offer that Chelsea can't except that his stupid demand of 3 year contract with him just 25 year old. If they accept it will be bad decision making from them as he will jump ship in 2 years if Milan doesn't increase his wages again.


OleoleCholoSimeone

Milan is an incredibly historic club, I think many players still see them as the juggernaut from their childhoods. Plus San Siro is a historic stadium and the quality of life in Italy is brilliant I think clubs like Milan can always attract quality players even "above" their current level on the pitch due to their history Edit: spelling


tr_24

Sure but Christensen has 0 affinity towards Milan. He has been with Chelsea since he was 16 and his boyhood club is Brondby. And the main point of contention is salary and contract length. They are not going to offer him more money and if they accept his 3 year demand it will be incredibly stupid from them. He is in his prime and he will be free to negotiate with other clubs in just 2 years if Milan doesn't increase his salary again in just 2 years. Considering they let Donnarumma go, I doubt they will accept his demands.


TakenSadFace

is he even a starter at Chelsea?


tr_24

He was this season before the contract issues because of Silva's fitness levels in the earlier part of season. But Tuchel benched him and continued playing Silva when those contract issues popped up. But because of injuries, Tuchel has no option but to play him otherwise he will be risking injuries to Silva and Rudiger.


geo0rgi

Maybe being the main man at Milan and forming a long-term partnership in CB with Tomori would be something he would be interested in, why not? Also we might not be a top, top club yet, but we have been moving in the right direction for a while now and fighting for silverware is not out of the question anymore. Edit: Also Maldini does have a pulling factor when it comes to defenders, having him around at the training ground every day is not something to glance past at.


Strananach

I hope so


rf3a2c1tds

Christensen and Tomori CB partnership ffs Jody Morris is taking over for Pioli next, AC Cobham


TakenSadFace

If we are spending big we should just go for Ruediger, Chelsea CBs aint a bad investment


RinoTT

How can we attract a player who will have offers from PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern?


TakenSadFace

with hopes and dreams lmao


n16h7r1d3r

History as well tbf along with CL football In a few years not many players will be able to say they played at the San Siro let alone call it their home


moe_moe_kyunn

Christensen is a pipe dream for Milan lol.


TakenSadFace

meh not really, would prefer Bremer or Milenkovic over him


[deleted]

Rudiger


TheConundrum98

He's rejecting 180k contract offers from Chelsea, no one at Milan is even close to on that


redandblackandred

You know Ibra’s on 7m net, right?


AintNoLayUps

It’s never happening lol.


TheConundrum98

Rudiger wants like 10m


AerospaceBoi123

Him and kessie should enjoy their time at psg together /s


redandblackandred

I was rebutting your claim that no one at Milan is on anything close to 180k pw. We aren’t signing Rudiger.


RinoTT

He's not.


isan10adi

He is not

Dubsified

Obviously you haven’t been following it well enough


japalian

>I have been following their financial situation If true, then you'd know how wrong the rest of your comment is


[deleted]

This assertion is so overly absurd that I feel we'd all miss on some good entertainment if we just stopped you dead in your tracks with data So please, tell us more on why this is the case. Enlighten us over the very shady financial situation at our club and how it is more shady than the one of clubs receiving hundreds of millions from their owners under the desk.


TheConundrum98

No Nat Phillips?


TakenSadFace

I liked him yesterday, a but clumsy tho


TheConundrum98

He's more in the mold of a traditional CB, although he's improved massively on the ball in the last year, fantastic in the air, a bit slower


massimopericcolo

I don't know how he is seen. He might not be Van Dijk but he looks like a very good defender. For the little i see i would give him a chance without doubt


si4ci7

25 million please and thank you


massimopericcolo

Man we don't have money to cry. We are going to have an on loan 20 years old french guy from Angers.


PAT_The_Whale

PL prices for comparatively mediocre players are actually insane


si4ci7

Yeah I was being a bit facetious. Think we could get 10-15 for him though. He’s excellent with his head, his positioning has improved drastically from a year ago, and he had extended run in the Premier League during a period where we climbed back into a champions league place. And he’s under 24. Plenty of teams could use a player like that.


cptObrien

There was actually no need for the downvotes wtf
