TMW: Krunic situation at a standstill – Fenerbahce unlikely to raise bid

By Oliver Fisher -

Rade Krunic was left out of the squad for AC Milan’s game against Empoli away from home today, but a potential move to Fenerbahce seems difficult at the moment.

During his pre-match press conference yesterday, Pioli made it clear that Krunic is free to find another club. The former Empoli midfielder has not been used for some time and while the official line from the club has been that the midfielder has had a back problem recently, the exit talk persists.

As TMW reports, it is certainly no mystery that Krunic is a target for Fenerbahce and he has been since last summer, when the Turkish club turned his head with the prospect of a pay rise.

Pioli vetoed the exit a few months ago as he considered him one of his most crucial players, but now the situation has totally changed and Krunic is traveling on the fringes of the Rossoneri squad, having also not trained with the group for a while.

Fenerbahce’s offer is still the same, €4.5m, and they are very unlikely to raise it. At the moment the situation is at a standstill and it cannot be ruled out that the Turkish club may decide to move on to another target.

In short, the next few days will be decisive in understanding whether the sale of the 30-year-old will be possible or not, but there are seemingly other clubs keen too.

  1. Then accept the offer. Lol. Are they actually dreaming that they would get the same 7 to 10 mil offer they got in summer lol?

        1. Except that we in actual fact challenged and in actual fact won an honour with him in the team….

          But hey let’s just ignore reality.

          1. Yes, let’s start the “we won the scudetto because of Krunic”-campaign because the “Leao won us the scudetto all by himself”-tales aren’t enough and that would suit MH’s agenda well. 😀 😀 😀

          2. Well he clearly is good enough for a team that challenges for honours given we challenged (successfully) for honours with him in the team.

            Or are you denying his very existence?

  2. Maybe the management thinks we’ll win the scudetto by hanging on to Krunic until the summer just because it worked well with Kessie too? After all, Krunic is a far better player in every aspect, right? 😀 😀 😀

    No one will pay more for that guy so just accept the bid and move on. Best for everyone.

  3. Should have considered selling him during the summer when the bid was higher. Now the player doesn’t want to play with us, is destabilized and we probably won’t get enough money from him.

    1. Exactly.

      And we’re talking about a multimillion year asset here.

      Imagine if you went to work one day and blew a few million Euros due to incompetence?

      (But football is a very serious business)
