There are about twenty days left until the start of the new seasonwith the classic gathering at the sports center of Milanello, and the Rossoneri club has not yet made any significant purchases. There is time but it would be important for the Milan show up on the meeting date with at least one shot. Both to send a signal, but especially to start closing the gap with Inter. To date the start on the market has been slow, we will see if there will be any accelerations in these days.
The words of Zlatan Ibrahimovic they were exhaustive for some topics, less so for others, but now we need the facts. Let’s take the situation for example Theo Hernandez. For Zlatan there are no doubts about staying with the Rossoneri. He clearly said that he Maignan and Leao will remain. Then, two days after Ibra’s famous conference, the Frenchman made statements that cast doubt on the future.
The truth of the matter is that the full-back would like to renew at very high prices, over 8 million euros, and would like reassurances on the technical project. Theo wants to stay at Milan but he wants to do it in a team that wins immediately and doubles his salary. On the other hand, we are talking about one of the strongest full-backs in Europe but who still has a salary under 5 million, while other players in his role earn much more and are not even as good as Theo.
However, the situation is not compromised, we can talk after the European Championship to try to reach an agreement. However, the topic must be addressed with greater strength and decision, procrastinating can be harmful. Retaining Theo with a renewal could be a big coup for the club.
Another point: Milan doesn’t need to sell, and only when faced with an offer of 90-100 million could they sit down and negotiate. Will these offers arrive?
Let’s get to the Zirkzee situation. The negotiation remains advanced. Milan hoped to conclude last week because the parties were getting closer on the commissions, but the final step was missing. It seemed that Kia Joorabchian could go below ten million then the operation stopped. It will be important to resume the dialogue in a constructive way because Zirkzee he still remains Milan’s top target and the Rossoneri want him for the attack. Among other things, in the virtual list of Milan’s priorities there is the attacker first and then the other roles.
But there are two paths on Zirkzee: either Milan rises towards Kia’s requests, or the opposite. Time passes and there is concern that at any moment some other team could enter the scene.
