Bad news arrived last night for Serie A clubs as the Government have decided not to grant an extension to the Growth Decree until 29 February 2024, as initially hypothesised.
This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via PianetaMilan) writes how the transfer strategies of Italian clubs – including Milan – will now have to change, with repercussions for the winter transfer window which will last from 2 to 31 January 2024.
Without any more tax breaks for clubs that purchase players from abroad, it makes the overall financial package required to sign players from outside Italy a lot higher, which has a knock-on effect for a team like Milan.
Milan made 10 summer signings and almost all of them came from abroad, something it would be a lot harder to replicate now, and they were looking at Serhou Guirassy as a potential option for next month too.
However, the paper goes on to state that Guirassy is asking for a salary of €5m net per season to leave Stuttgart. Such a figure, without the benefits of the Growth Decree, would burden the Rossoneri’s budget quite a bit at almost €10m gross per year, as opposed to just under €7.5m.
It also can’t be forgotten that in the Premier League there are at least two teams – Manchester United and Tottenham – willing to offer a higher net salary to the player. Inevitably, therefore, Guirassy to Milan is a complicated affair.
Yes, and paying 7.5M gross to Guirassy sounds good. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha
Exactly. Ridiculous! Time to move and focus on other players.
They must hurry to sign him. Take him or leave him. If january comes.
I’m pretty certain January will come. In fact sooner than later.
The AzAlkamar Greece striker is the best intrrms of coast and Goal Machine.
So Sign him in January and do not renew Giroud
I undesrtood that the current managers of the ta are not going to take tje team into suceess if thry Renew Calabria who is one of the worst and burden Players of the insteqd of selling him and Replace with one from Primavera. .

Good, it’s about time we concentrate on home grown players, we have too many foreigners as it is.
