    $6m/year salary and his brother joins Milan. $100m buyout down to $50m of we don't make CL.

    Not entirely sure. Either way it's worth €1m/season

    If Milan had any heteros his sister might have wanted a job, too. You really dodged a bullet.

    I didn't realize DiSciglio was so unhappy here - its a pity when you consider that not long ago he was a highly touted fullback that came right from the Milan academy and was also selected for the NT at a young age. Since then his development has been up and down.

    I'd rather not sell him to Juve but I suppose anyone who is willing to pony up the funds will get him.

    I wonder if Chelsea would be interested?

    This Donnarumma saga is chaos. Just pure incompetence on Donnaruma/Raiola side. Milan's mgmt has handled it perfectly, even tho the extra mil a year + signing his brother for 1mil is so blah. Tho, if reports are true about 50/100 mil release clause then it'll net more money if Madrid/PSG activate clause so good for us.

    Now, supposedly we are in talks to figure out how Raiola gets compensated for transaction? Jesus, wtf? Have Donnarumma pay you your commission from the extra $$$ you made us pay him. I love Donnarumma, but this sage is ridiculous and I can't wait for it to be over.

    NOW, the FUN! CALHANOGLU! CONTI! Fantastic signings! Conti was supposedly fntastic last season, and I watched the u-21 tourney and really enjoyed him. Reminds me of a much better Abate who can cross. Calhanoglu was rumored to us years ago but never worked out. Free kick specialist, a playmaker, advanced midfield/trequartista esque? Perfect. Calhanoglu/Silva for the price of James/Belotti seem great.
    ----------Donnarumma------------
    Conti----Roma---Musch-----RR
    -----Kessi----Montolivo/Locatelli---
    Suso------Calhanoglu-----Bonaventura
    ---------------Silva---------------

    Top 4 for sure. Europa League finals here we come.
    I wanted to say I am fully on board with a full retooling of the team. It's better to sign so many now and let them create chemistry then few signings and then reload slowly. We didn't sign any old players so this should be the core for years to come.

    Young team with so much promise. What an awesome time to be a Milan fan!

    Why or what was the point of signing Antonio Donnarumma? Was it just to make Gigi happy so he can have a family member eith him?

    Looking like it might be a single release clause in the area of €75 mil instead of the 2 tier clause; one contingent on CL qualification. Gigio is in Ibiza right now but could sign within the next few days.

    it's that point in the summer when I stop reading milan news posts unless they begin with "official". we had one this morning: conti arrives for 24M plus matteo pessina. do any of you experts have thoughts on whether this guy is worth the price? from what i've seen, it sounds like he is tipped to be an upgrade over abate and whoever else we have at RB.

    what are we giving up in pessina? the reports say he's an italy U20 so he must have some potential.

    another official: kucka is out for 5M. i'll miss seeing him in red and black. he was an absolute monster at times over the last few years. i'm kinda surprised to see him go.

    Conti was voted best defender/RB last serie A i believe. He won an award recently for it. I watched him during the u-21 EC and he was fantastic. Very fast, and great crosser. He really reminds me of Abate but 8ish years younger. Him and RR down the flanks will provide so much service for our fowards. I'm excited for him as he'll prob be the RB for NT in future.

    I have no idea about Pessina, but Conti should be our RB for years to come and def upgrade over Abate/MDS. Funny thing was Calabria was his backup during European Cup, and did really well in the game he played BUT Conti is much faster. I think Conti will be next Abate, but better while Calabria will be next MDS but better as well. Def worth the signing.

    Reports are we're still trying for Aubameyang. I mean, it would be amazing but I won't too excited yet.

    Biglia would be a nice addition to slot next to Kessie and Bonaventura.

    I've heard we are interested for Benassi from Torino. I think he was captain of u-21 team and was pretty solid in midfield. Nice 2 way player. Perhaps swap him for Paletta/Zapata plus cash.

    Very exciting times!

    If we can pull this Bonucci thing off the Hype train will be moving full steam ahead into the season.
