Milan to loan star signings?
By Football Italia staff
Andre Silva and Hakan Calhanoglu could be loaned out in January, as Milan hope to raise their price-tags, according to La Stampa.
The Rossoneri are in crisis after firing Coach Vincenzo Montella, managing only a draw with bottom of the table Benevento and losing 2-0 to Rijeka in the Europa League under Gennaro Gattuso.
With the prospect of UEFA turning down the proposal for a voluntary agreement on Financial Fair Play, the club is looking to raise funds.
La Stampa newspaper maintains one plan is to loan out Portugal international striker Andre Silva and Turkish midfielder Calhanoglu in January.
The forward arrived from Porto for €38m plus bonuses and has scored eight goals in 10 Europa League games, including the preliminary rounds, but is still looking for his first Serie A strike.
Calhanoglu was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for €22m plus bonuses and struggled with a combination of injuries, poor form and tactical inconsistency.
Rather than keep the pair at Milan, where their value on the market could drop considerably, La Stampa claims the idea is to loan them out and see their potential flourish once more.
That will bump up the price-tags for a summer sale.
Obviously won't happen but if it did wow that would be the most pathetically cucked move in football history
Loaning out your star signings so that their value doesn't decrease too much while you flounder and lose games so that you can sell them in the summer and avoid sanctions

Locatelli will amount to nothing, he was precocious but he's not a player I consider a talent. He's average in everything
Romagnoli maybe although he's also overrated. Only one of the three worth the gamble but I won't lose any sleep if we pass
Andre Silva is Sevilla and Tottenham level of talent if he succeeds at reaching his potential. Quite good, but not enough
Let's have more ambition and not roam around forgettable players from forgettable teams, Juve can do much better

Fabio Quagliarella has given Sampdoria the 2-0 lead in Sardinia, but unlucky Cagliari lost four players to injury before half-time.
