We knew, but the confirmation has arrived: the Schalke 04 shop is expensive. So yesterday the Ruhr club executives asked for 10 million euros for their defensive talent, Malick Thiaw.

Availability

In recent weeks the Rossoneri managers have also received the approval of the player, represented by Gordon Stipic: coincidentally, manager of Hakan Calanhoglu as well. Apparently yesterday’s verdict closes the doors to an agreement, given the tight deadline for the market gong, next Monday at 20. However, it should be remembered that the German company is in the second series and Thiaw would like to seize the important opportunity they offer him. in Milan. It is therefore certain that Stipic will return to the office to obtain a strong discount, or a formula that incentivizes buyers. Therefore, new attempts by next Monday cannot be ruled out. In any case, in via Aldo Rossi they do not intend to exceed the offer presented yesterday. This deal is seen in perspective, while there are no immediate urgencies.

Summer investments

The comforting news on Tomori’s recovery, after all, put everyone in a good mood, not just Stefano Pioli who hopes to have the Anglo-Canadian already in the derby. And, then, saving those 6 million allows you to put hay on the farm for summer investments for the back pack. It is no mystery that AC Milan have above all Dutch Sven Botman in their minds. And Lilac for him, you know, wants real money. In recent weeks, Newcastle’s decisive entry into the scene has led the French club to raise the price up to 40 million euros. Do not overlook the fact that Lille are still in contention in the Champions League and do not want to dismantle the squad: especially after the sale of Ikoné to Fiorentina. When the lists reopen, then, how much will Botman cost? There is a risk that the price will rise again, even if the good relations with Milan give confidence. The wait for the Dutchman is clearly linked to the uncertainties matured in the negotiations for the renewal of Alessio Romagnoli, who was also free at the end of the season. The Rossoneri club is counting on losing him, given that the downward offer was not to his liking. And Milan looks ahead, hunting for new talents.
