Injuries, transfer market and renewals. Milan has been bombarded with news for a few days. It is not easy for Pioli's team at the moment to fight for the goals with all the rumors that disturb the team. This makes the victory against Verona even more special. In just one year, second place in the Championship has become a given. Milan has accustomed its fans to the top ranking. This is certainly good, but it doesn't have to get frustrating in tough times.
DONNARUMMA SITUATION
There is no good news for his renewal. Milan has not yet found an agreement for his contract extension. According to some rumors, Raiola is now thinking of looking at other clubs. But let's not joke: Gigio's will has been clear for some time. He wants to stay at Milan. A player cannot leave due to the will of his agent, who is doing his job (well) right now to get more. But the feeling today, once again, is that Donnarumma will end up staying. He won't be signing for just one year. It would be too bad for the club and its fans. Gigio does not want the same situation to repeat itself as five years ago.
CALHANOGLU
His renewal has never been seriously questioned. The player also reiterated this to the club in the meeting at Casa Milan a few days ago. Hakan has given his word to Maldini: he will remain with the Rossoneri.
TRANSFER MARKET UPDATE
Milan are working seriously for two signings: the first is Tomori's from Chelsea. The Rossoneri would like to lower the ransom set by the Blues, but in the end they will be forced to pay the full price, without discounts. In addition to Englishman, Milan are also thinking of Otavio. The Porto player should replace Diaz. The Brazilian only receives 1 million a year. Milan could sign him for almost 2 million. For his part, Dalot, unlike Diaz, could stay: Milan would like to extend his loan for another year and then decide whether to buy the player.
SCENT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Between the transfer market rumors and the renewals, Milan now has to focus only on the pitch. Tomorrow the Rossoneri will face Manchester United, in a match that could resume last year in the Champions League. Two clubs that have many things in common: both have finally regained their old leadership. Both are in second place. Both are playing the title with the city rival. Both have focused on an emerging technician. Solskjaer also had a tough time, but the Red Devils confirmed it. Right choice. Like Milan with Pioli. Milan are second with seven points clear of fifth place. Milan are in the round of 32 of the Europa League and will face Manchester in a great challenge. Milan is the youngest team in the league and one of the youngest across Europe. Its young players grow up every day. What else?
