Nigel De Jong

sky now reporting:

According to reports in Italy, AC Milan are trying to arrange a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong. Reports claim Milan will offer €7million (£5.5m), while Netherlands international De Jong is seeking a yearly salary of €5million (£4m).


As long has we have a replacement sorted, £5.5m won't be bad business.

That's 77k a week. I'd keep him here if he'd accept that.

Milan getting a good player cheap here. Hope to God Inter get him. Much prefer them over AC Milan.

Seems crazy not to to me. He is solid, been part of 2 very succesful seasons, is useful in Europe an hugely experienced. He also seems like a well liked member of the squad. Are we quibbling over £10k a week or so?

De Jong over 4 years would prob cost £16m in wages. De rossi would cost around £70m with fee an wages. I know we ain't getting him but still seems odd to me.

Amazed Arsenal haven't had a go at that price. He is exactly what they have needed for years

I can't see this happening unless a better replacement has already been secured.

I know Mancini plays some mind games on transfers and a week is a long time in football but he has stated he is not for sale and won't be leaving.

Nothing to be gained in loaning him out and we lose a defensive midfielder.

Probably reporting net wages.

I'd be loathe to see Nige leave us, but if it's true, it looks like Bobby's got what he sees as an upgrade lined up.

So we sell dejong for 5.5mil and sign javi garcia for 25mil? Completely gutted if de jong leaves would rather let him walk next year then sell him for that amount! But would much prefer him to sign a 5 year deal tomoro!
