Franco Ordine, a journalist, spoke about Milan's transfer market and said these words, as relayed via Milan News:
"I asked to get a reliable figure on the various buy-options revenues. I was told it should be between 40 and 44 million... In my opinion, we'll have to wait for the official announcement of Fonseca as coach, then they will have to quickly resolve a couple of deadlines. One concerns the contracts of Theo and Maignan, and then the completion of last year's market. This will be the theme: after the revolution of last summer, they need to move a few pieces but in the right place and at the right time." he said on Radiorossonera.
On the timing of choosing the new Milan striker:
“I'll make a straightforward, almost elementary reasoning. Milan, you knew very well there would be a separation at the end of the season, as painful as it might be given Giroud's above-expectations performance. So, in my opinion, you should have moved in time and secured a striker who wouldn't make you miss Giroud. If this was done, great. Otherwise, the theory that at the end of the market those who have surplus players are forced to offload them at a bargain price, in my opinion in this case, and therefore ensuring a promising striker, is an outdated reasoning.”
