As in many western films of the 50s and 60s, Milan’s current situation is a Mexican stalemate. They are all with their guns pointed but no one shoots for fear that the other will do so. Luckily there are no weapons in this case, but immobility reigns supreme, at least on paper. The European Championship in Germany is certainly doing its part, shifting attention to the German fields and leaving little space for the market of players involved with their respective national teams. Each speech will be postponed to later, both incoming and outgoing. Too many variations can change the course of the situation, increasing or decreasing the value of the players between now and mid-July, in the best case scenario. The only shock came from Ibrahimovic’s press conference who, between self-celebration, renewals of the Rossoneri columns and possible future signings, stole the show and caused a lot of talk.

There has been a lot of talk about Zirkzee, still close to Milan but not enough to consider it a done deal. That “we don’t do charity” smacks of closure to the commissions requested by Joorabchian. 15 million is a lot, the Devil wouldn’t want to go beyond 10. The negotiation will continue to the bitter end also because Joshua flew to Germany at the last minute to join his teammates, including Reijnders.
The sleep of the Rossoneri fans, however, is also disturbed and made agitated by the less than comforting words of Theo Hernandez, who yesterday played a great match together with Maignan in France’s 1-0 winning debut against Austria. The full-back’s desire is to stay in Milan, but the salary no longer satisfies him. He would like to see it at least doubled, around 7-8. Champions are expensive and the management knows this all too well, after having seen them go Donnarumma, Calhanoglu and Kessié. The hope is that Theo continues to burn the grass on the left wing of San Siro, dragging the next Devil of Fonseca.
Tonight, meanwhile, it is the turn of the other of the Rossoneri big three, Rafael Leao. Of all of them, at the moment, he seems to be the strongest, anchored with strength and conviction to the project, also convinced by the presence of a Portuguese coach. Against the Czech Republic he should start alongside CR7 and Bernando Silva. A nice showcase for number 10.
