AC Milan's technical director Paolo Maldini admits interest in France winger Florian Thauvin. Milan is getting stronger?

That seems like a good target. Florian Thauvin is a good player and AC Milan need someone with experience and someone who is also good at wings so IMO yeah a very good target. Milan don't have players with much experience and it will be a good squad development as well. Also he has hardly an year left until his contract expires at Marsielle.

new transfer rumours about the right winger Florian Thauvin from olympique marseille

Milan confirm interest in Thauvin - Among most valuable free agents next summer

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/news/view?id=375253

and i also think it would be a very good deal if he would play for ac milan next season, for once he wouldn't have to pay a fee in summer 2021

In times of a pandemic like this it is very difficult for clubs to attract star-labeled players like Kylian Mbappe, especially players like Erling Braut Haaland, of course PSG and Borrusia Dortmund will not easily let players with cheap values, if they raise with high scores, of course Real Madrid or the club. others will not be able to because they are experiencing a financial crisis during the Covid 19 pandemic, there is no income at all from supporters and ticket sales are confirmed until one season so the club has to save on the transfer market this season. Looks easy for Manchester United if wanna bring back his defender Jonny Evans from Leicester City, he will be free transfer and Manchester United become his second chance for Evans.

Can you imagine what type of team Real Madrid would be if they could find a way to get both Mbappe AND haaland? I mean don't get me wrong Benzema is great and all the players they have are all great, but to have Mbappe and Haaland together would basically guarantee 10 years of great success for them.

But if I were them, I would focus a bit on defense as well, right now their future looks like varane and miliato when Ramos retires and they are not bad neither, and they are fairly young as well but I would probably get someone much better, I wouldn't really want to see militao/varane defense line if I was real madrid, would probably go for a higher name, such as mbappe and haaland but for a defensive player.

At this point they are so rich that I wouldn't be shocked if they could build a whole another galacticos level of team because most players are cheaper because of pandemic and they have enough money to buy multiple.

I know Benzema is best player and become Real Madrid's mainstay attacker in recent seasons but look at how old Benzema right now and he has enough become starting eleven player for Real Madrid, the same like Marcelo have left position after replace by Ferland Mendy
 where have impressive performance not only as defensive but also when attacking he most active to give assist for Real Madrid forward. I think Madrid have looking for fresh player exactly on forward position after Benzema is not have enough time playing full match for Real Madrid and Haarland or Mpabbe become best solution for Real Madrid striker, just brave or not Florentino Pérez to buy both player with higher value and sell some player not give most contributed for Real Madrid.

I mean if we want to speculate what other dream players Real Madrid wants to sign besides Mbappe and Haaland, then why not 

Madrid is bleeding midfielders and they need to find a replacement for Modric and Vazquez since they'll likely let them go next year. If they buy Pobga and Soumare as replacements, and still have money to spare for Mbappe then that would be very impressive. It wouldn't be smart to chase forwards when you potentially need to fill your midfielder spots.

If we talk about the wealth owned by Real Madrid they have very much money. According to AB-TC, they had revenue of € 750.9 Million last year. With this amount, they can afford to buy Mbappe and Haaland at one time. However, if we have talked about the player's contract with the club and also the wishes of the player, and the terms cannot be fulfilled, this may not happen.

Don't forget, Clubs owner of the player can also have an important role in the transfer process, they will not sell their potential players cheaply. Even though a player is estimated worth 50 million, the club could have kept him by only accepting an offer of 80 million+. That's business in football.

FC Bayern can imagine extending the contract with Niklas Süle in the near future. Sky Sports News Germany reported the following today:

Bayern bosses still appreciate Niklas Süle a lot. The club wants to start talks with him over a new contract, but just not yet. Süle's current contract expires in June 2022 [@SkySportNewsHD]

I personally would like Süle to extend his contract with FC Bayern. He is a great central defender and definitely one of the best out there!

@RealMalatesta while there’s no doubt that Real Madrid is a rich club, but it’s also pertinent to note that they have been impacted by this pandemic too, and hence I don’t expect them to spend heavily in 2021, but in 2022 I feel that they’ll spend a lot and bring in new galacticos.

Also David Alaba is rumoured to be moving closer to Chelsea, and I feel that it’ll a very nice deal for Chelsea if they can seal it because of his past experience.

After "Fabrizio Romano's recent talks", rumors have emerged recently surrounding the possibility of signing Houssem Aouar and Dominik Szoboszlai ^[source].
^{- I think the latter one is a bit more realistic even though a lot of teams are competing for his signature and as for Aouar, maybe next year.}

Another rumor is about John Stones to Arsenal ^[source].
^{- Would love to see him partnering up with Gabriel at the back.}

[cygan]

According to information acquired by Transfermarkt.it, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also very interested in signing the player - there is understood to be an exit clause of €25 million. When asked about it, Salzburg did not want to comment.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bayern-and-real-madrid-interested-in-szoboszlai-as-well-exit-clause-on-level-of-market-value-/view/news/375521

i think that he should change to the german bundesliga first, to a club that guarantees him playing every weekend - i would not see this at bayern munich atm
maybe we will see Dominik Szoboszlai sometime in dortmund, if Haaland should leave bvb in the direction of spain or england...

[Coyster]

Another rumor is about John Stones to Arsenal ^[source].
^{- Would love to see him partnering up with Gabriel at the back.}

There were rumors John turned down a move away from City before the start of this season, I know it's going to be difficult for him to break into the City defense, but I don't think Stones is going to leave, at least not in January, and another thing is the few times Stones have played for City this season, he was exceptional, that could give Pep something to think about, and maybe to convince him to stay at the Etihad as he could be useful to them from now till the end of the season. Having said that, it's going to be a great signing for Arsenal if it goes through, and you never know, Arteta's Influence could play a part in it.

Arsenal priority for me is to get a playmaker Defense is not perfect surely Stones will be a fresh addition but City will demand at least what they have played for him initially so I don't think that they will throw their budget on just one central defender where in midfield they suffer more currently they are showing interest on Dominik Szoboszlai the 20 years old player currently plays for RB Salzburg as a midfielder and Arsenal are pricing about 20 million euro.
If this true then it's good for them as they know what they need and they are working on improving.

About D. Szoboszlai in this summer winter window, Juventus was very close to signing him according to Italian journalists and He said no because he wanted to stay 1 more year in his team.

Also, AC Milan pushed hard for him in the summer.


He will leave his team almost for sure in the next summer transferts.

Berkay Özcan struggled at Hamburger SV, but since joining Basaksehir in Turkey, has convinced with strong performances. Performances that have been noted in England. Sources with knowledge of the situation have told Transfermarkt that several Premier League clubs, among them Arsenal, are interested in the 22-year-old midfielder.

what do you think guys about the interest from arsenal on this player?
unfortunately i haven't really followed the player yet and haven't seen any games with his participation...

sempremilan reported if AC Milan are ready to buy Brahim Diaz, the rumour mentioned if Milan ready to buy €30m. Also, Milan want to try to signing  Álvaro Odriozola for loan. I don't know Alvaro is really needed or not, since he doesn't have much time to play in Madrid or even in Munich.

MU also rumoured want to bring Dalot comeback home because in Milan he just filled the bench.

Club revenue for the 2019/20 season was down 13% (minus € 106m).

The situation in the club is stable, according to data from June 30, 2020, the state (net assets) is estimated at 533 million euros, and the treasury at 125 million euros.

In the 2020/21 season, the club expects to earn 617 million euros, which is 300 million euros less than the previous year before the pandemic.

After the measures taken, spending was reduced and the impact of the pandemic on the club in the 2019/20 season resulted in the conclusion of Madrid's financial year with a balance of 300,000 euros.

I wont surprised as italian teams often doing this method.
Loan a player with buy option , they are tend to see a couple years impact before permanently trasnfered.
It sems ac milan transfer policy getting better by targeting a good high potential players like brahim diaz and odriozola.
They are serioisly strenghten the squad to maintain the 1st position at the league till the end of the season.
A transfer from thauvin, vasquez to andrea belotti are in ac milan rumors , they will have a big spending this january.
