Is Lukaku at Milan possible after Tonali’s farewell? What’s going on – Corriere.it

Cyclone Tonali
, unsettling for the sudden acceleration it experienced yesterday and devastating for the economic scope of the deal, has overwhelmed Milan. While the fans wonder about the future of the club which, after Maldini’s farewell, renounces its designated captain for the next few years, unthinkable scenarios open up. The new management of the Devil ready to enter into new business that under the Madonnina have all the flavor of overtaking but above all tripping.

As already disclosed yesterday, the rossoneri are ready to jump on pole in the negotiation with Sassuolo for Davide Frattesi
, the mezzala pursued by Roma, by Juventus – who also had talks yesterday – and above all by Inter who had wrested a sort of virtual right of first refusal thanks to the good relations between Beppe Marotta and Giovanni Carnevali. Now, however, with the sale of Tonali, Milan jumps into pole position for two reasons. He has the cash to satisfy the economic demands of the Emilians who demand between 35 and 40 million to let the player go. He is liked by the entourage of the midfielder who also represents Tonali’s interests at the same time. clear that the nerazzurri would be displaced, unable at the moment to make raises without the prior sale of Brozovic or Gosens. But not only. A sensational idea is being cultivated in these hours on the fourth floor of Casa Milan.

Transfer market, today’s news 22 June: Milinkovic-Juve?

It looks more like a provocation than an actual battle plan. Snatch Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea with whose owner Gerry Cardinale cultivates good relations, mocking the Nerazzurri convinced until yesterday that they can still count on the presence of the Belgian next year. Piero Ausilio had also recently been to London to deal with the Blues and get the renewal of the loan of the attacker at lower figures than the current ones. The problem is that the London club, grappling with a hypertrophic squad to be thinned according to Pochettino’s indications, has for now the intention of monetizing the sales – the cases of Koulibaly, Mendy and Ziyech in Arabia are indicative -. Big Rom has refused for now to emigrate to the rich Arab league which represents the new frontier, firmly intending to return to Milan.

But if Inter doesn’t now have the economic means to propitiate the closure of the operation, Could Milan become a welcome destination for the player? In Viale della Liberazione they don’t believe in an ending of this type. Instead, they are silent in the Rossoneri headquarters, from which yesterday the rumor according to which Milan would even have paid the 40 million for the center forward. A doubt remains: if so far the 5 million fixed base guaranteed to Leao are the Maginot line of salaries not to be exceeded, how would the Milanello dressing room welcome the arrival of a celebrated star who earns 12 million?

It should be remembered that yesterday the turbo boost was given to the Tonali deal when it was understood that Milan could never match the 10 million salary proposal – 8 million fixed base, two bonuses – advanced by Newcastle. The only certainty are the diplomatic relations between the Milanese women put to the test by these intrusions.
