Gazidis:" Covid-19 has been a huge challenge for us and our community. We hope to return to the stadium with our fans. We miss the fans very much and we want to have them here as soon as possible with safety."
Gazidis:"Right mix between youth and experience. The big challenge is to develop the team while remaining within a sustainable financial context. The stadium is an essential component for this path."
Gazidis:" Ibra played an important part in our season and growth. We are doing everything we can to continue for the next season. We hope to close the discussions positively. I am optimistic."
Maldini: " We are working very hard, as is Zlatan's entourage to reach an agreement. We want to close the deal as soon as possible."
Maldini: There always has to be a plan B in this job. But Ibrahimovic is our priority."
Frederic Massara: "We do not have enough players and we need to sign some more. This season will be long. We have options that we are looking at and we are confident that we can do something."
Maldini:"This year we will make some targeted shots. We may not be able to make shots like in the past. I don't want to trick the fans, but we are vigilant if any market opportunities present themselves."
Maldini:"Bakayoko back to Milan is in negotiations. We know and appreciate him. He is one of our objectives. the modalities are still to be studied 100% "
Maldini: "We only have to act in roles where we need to improve and with superior players, there may be a few tweaks but all we will do is to improve those roles where we think there are flaws."
Maldini:" Bayern Munich are our role model? We know our path. Bayern are different at the moment. But their organisation is a model and to be followed. We are still a long way off. Closing the gap is hard. FFP's fair, but it does not allow us to invest to reduce the gap."
Massara talking about Davide Calabria: "He is a product of our youth sector. Often the values of these players are downplayed. He has done well in recent years and we do not consider him on the market."
Massara on Serge Aurier: "There are many names that come close to us. Aurier is an excellent player, but at the moment there are no conditions to think about him. He is not an objective for us."
Massara on the negotiations for Rebic's permanent transfer:"We're evaluating the possibility of taking him outright immediately. We hope the conditions are right to do so. We're very happy with his performance. In the second phase he was amazing. We hope to sign him outright."
Gazidis:"For the team, we're working with determination. We have focused on talented youth that can grow within the context of growth of the team. We've not taken explosive names like Theo and Bennacer, who then grew also thanks to the structures of the club such as Milanello."
Gazidis: "Last year we lost almost 150 million and we have to act in a regime of control of this financial situation. I have a feeling that there will be some movements that will take place towards the end of the market and we will be ready to seize the right opportunities."
Gazidis to the fans:"We'll do everything possible to communicate, transparently, what your club wants to do to grow. We're doing a hard job with important difficult choices. We need unity, work together in 1 direction and ask you to come with us and to believe in our work."
Maldini:"For Gigio, we've reached the last year of his contract. But, we'll solve Ibra's issue then we'll think of Gigio, we're confident since he wants to stay. We are ready to make offers appropriate to Donnarumma's value."
Maldini on Hakan's contract renewal:" We'll meet with Calhanoglu's agent in the first weeks of September to discuss the matter."
Maldini to the fans:"I thank the fans. They always manage to give us something special. We regret not having them in the stadium at the end of the season: playing that kind of football in front of our fans would have been special. it's time to see you again in the stadium."
