That surprises me, he's a Milan fan and I don't think joining Juve right now is any form of career progression. From what I've read Milan have decided to halt negotiations until the end of the season. They also released this story, so there seems to be some game playing on both sides here.
Devil Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Milan even with a slight improvement look miles off being capable of winning trophies. Such a shame a legendary club like them are in their current state.

He is also from Napoli so if he playing for them he’d be a ‘Napoli fan’

We've been in this position before, in 2017 the Ultra's were giving him pelters over his contract demands.

I don't think Milan have any bargaining power at the minute. A new project every other season and it looks like they'll fall out the Champions League places. Given they've signed Mike Maignan it seems like they've admitted defeat.

Maignan is a very solid signing, a few EPL clubs have missed out there.

Maybe he did when he was 10 but isn't he directly from that area anyway? I just struggle to believe anyone from Napoli where they worship Napoli football club alongside Jesus Christ and Diego Maradona as the holy trinity is a bloody AC Milan supporter, a northern team whose supporters call Neapolitans terrone

Milan are an Italian institution, dare I say bigger than Juve due to how impressive they were in the 80s and 90s. It's no different than Southerners supporting Man Utd in England. Location is a secondary consideration.

Location is a secondary consideration. Tevez says a lot of things, I think even saying the same about Corinthians. An anecdote about Tevez doesn't change my mind. I think it is very different, while there is a north/south rivalry in England it has nothing on the actual classism and racism of 'terrone'.
ScoRoss Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 Still no clearer on where he will be playing next season, with Milan still uncertain of a place in the Champions League. Whoever signs him will have to pay Mino Raiola a lot of money though.
Devil Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 United should be all over this and thinking of selling both Henderson and De Gea for differing reasons.
ScoRoss Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Maldini confirms Donnarumma is leaving Milan this summer.
6666 Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Are any of the big spenders desperate for a keeper on high wages? Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus have money issues and have better keepers anyway. Even if they wanted to sell their keeper for a decent amount of money to sign Donnarumma on a free, who's actually going to give them a decent amount of money in the current climate? PSG could spend on a keeper but why wouldn't they just go for Donnarumma themselves? That's why I'd say PSG makes the most sense.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted May 28, 2021 Subscriber Posted May 28, 2021 Manchester United should be all over this honestly. Unless Ole has big plans for Henderson which looks highly unlikely I think he could be a good replacement for DeGea long term.

Nobody is going to want him, he's looked a shadow of his former self for at least 3 years now.
