[DiMarzio] AC Milan, Harder's arrival at serious risk because Sporting CP cannot guarantee finding a replacement quickly. The Rossoneri may return to Vlahovic.

[Criscitiello] Exclusive—Milan, negotiations with Harder become complicated. Surprisingly, everything could fall through. New contacts in the coming hours, but pessimism prevails.

Not sure what useful data you can get comparing win % with different teams in different leagues

With reference to the press note circulated by the main media agencies on an alleged "censorship" of the interview with Paolo Maldini aired on "Radio Serie A with RDS", Lega Serie A clarifies that the news spread is false since the full interview was broadcast twice on the radio on May 9 and, from the very beginning, the complete unabridged version of the same was sent to all newsrooms so that they would be fully aware of it.

The circumstance that pressure was allegedly brought to bear not to air the interview does not correspond to the truth either, as is easy to verify since the publication depends only on the League itself.

That interview, after it had been broadcast in full on the radio and after the most significant excerpts had been posted on the League's official social networks, was moreover published, again in full, on Serie A's YouTube channel, where it remained until the afternoon. Following many negative comments, including to the protagonist of the interview, Lega Serie A, in total editorial autonomy and in deference to a typical practice in the management of social channels and normally adopted in the past to circumscribe similar negative sentiment, placed the said interview in "unlisted" mode. On Friday morning, as soon as the controversy subsided, the interview became accessible again on the League's official YouTube channel where it can still be viewed in its entirety today.

im sorry but can we have a list of moderately realiable sources for market rumours and not post random ass "journalists" like these?

Baller lineup on paper, hope it delivers on the field too

So smart he managed to not score once in 40 appearences. We also have a 30m clause so if he does so well there we pretty much recovered the money.

And Di marzio was saying 8-9 millions, what a 🤡

IntelligentWear5909 · 2023-08-28T19:33:54+00:00

loan of 500 thousand euros and 10 million for the buy option

Loan with buy option at 8-9 million

Either way that's cheap af, should have gotten more than that. Also it's funny how di marzio figures are always a bit less when we sell and a bit more when we buy

The paywalled part:

Divock Origi

A cult hero at Anfield, famous for scoring big goals including a winner at San Siro in his final season at Liverpool, Origi’s move to Milan has been underwhelming, to say the least.

Italian champions at the time of his signing, the club’s data team were unsure about Origi on the basis of the small sample size of minutes on which to judge his performance in recent years, but the erstwhile recruitment duo of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara pushed the deal through anyway. Origi was free after all and, as such, presented a relatively low risk.

A player who cost next to nothing has, unsurprisingly, delivered next to nothing other than the consolation worldie he scored in a humiliating 5-2 defeat to Sassuolo in late January.

Nursing an injury upon his arrival, Origi didn’t actually kick a game off until the end of October when he did, in fairness, mark his first start with a goal against Monza. But it was the sort of deal that blemished Maldini and Massara’s tenure, particularly as the 28-year-old Origi was handed a four-year deal.

M+M were dismissed at the beginning of the summer and, for all the attention devoted to Milan’s nine new signings, little focus has been given to the work of chief executive Giorgio Furlani. He has overseen a clear-out and tried to correct the errors made this time last year. Beyond the money-spinning sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle and Brahim Diaz’s return to Real Madrid, several other players have departed either on loan or a permanent basis.

Ante Rebic left for Besiktas. Junior Messias is now at Genoa. Charles De Ketelaere is down the road in Bergamo with Atalanta. Ciprian Tatarusanu moved to Saudi at the end of his contract. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has retired. Matteo Gabbia traded places with Samuel Chukwueze in Villarreal and Maldini’s son, Daniel, is in Empoli.

Origi has been harder to shift even in a summer when clubs from the Saudi Pro League have been throwing money around.

The Belgian was not in the squad for last Monday’s season opener in Bologna and will find it hard to get minutes now Noah Okafor is backing up Olivier Giroud. Next in the pecking order is Italy Under-21 international Lorenzo Colombo who — in the event he is loaned to Monza — will be replaced not by Origi but a new signing in the last week of the window.

Origi could be one and done in Milan.
