Massimiliano Allegri and AC Milan have a bit of a problem with first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan right now following his failed transfer to Chelsea. The 29-year-old was determined to join Enzo Maresca‘s side in the last transfer window. In fact, it was claimed that Maignan even made a threat, warning Milan that he would run down his contract if they prevented him from moving to west London. In the end, they did just that after rejecting Chelsea‘s offers to sign the Frenchman. It is thought that Chelsea’s last bid for Maignan was worth £18m. Milan now have a player who…
Max Allegri has taken on a role as manager at Milan, rather than head coach, and the partnership with Igli Tare has got off to a great start. As a result, the manager is very enthusiastic about the project. As highlighted by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) this morning, a lot of things have changed since Allegri first joined Milan 15 years ago. Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani are no longer running the show, instead we are talking about RedBird and Tare. Many of these changes, however, have taken place just in the last few weeks. Milan are keen on…

While it’s true that Milan already have Santiago Gimenez, who is the biggest investment of the RedBird era, the idea is…
Ciro Immobile has offered his services to Igli Tare and AC Milan as Luka Jovic looks set to depart the club, according to a report. Jovic started the 2024-25 campaign as Milan’s third-choice striker, but managed to gain more playing time after some very good performances in the second half of the season. However, with his contract expiring this summer, the Serbian will likely wave goodbye. In the meantime, as reported by Corriere della Sera (via Il Garante), the Besiktas and former Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has offered himself to Milan.

Following the departures of three right-backs compared to the start of 2024-25, AC Milan need to reinforce the position and Fiorentina’s Dodo is at the top of the wish list.

Alex Jimenez then joined from the Futuro side, while Kyle Walker arrived on loan from Manchester City. Only two of these players are still in the squad, though. One of them is Jimenez, who isn’t considered a right-back by Max Allegri, leaving just Emerson Royal who is expected to leave. In short, as…

However, while the goal for next season is clear, it has resulted in a lot of movement on the mercato. Taking a look at the squad as things stand, it feels a bit chaotic and as such,…
Theo Hernandez is destined to leave AC Milan this summer, with his contract expiring next year, as the Rossoneri are confident he won’t leave on a free transfer. Having failed to reach an agreement over a contract renewal, Milan and Hernandez are ready to part ways after six years together. It’s not the ending that most Rossoneri fans had imagined, given the Frenchman’s qualities, but now the best solution has to be found. As reported by today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanPress), work is underway to find a new team for Hernandez, mainly by his own entourage. Milan have made…
Max Allegri has asked the AC Milan management to keep Alexis Saelemaekers in the squad at least during the pre-season, changing the plans after the player appeared Roma-bound. Saelemaekers spent the last season on loan at Roma, leaving Milan on deadline day of the 2024 summer mercato. He impressed a lot, especially under Claudio Ranieri’s guidance, and the Giallorossi seemed destined to secure him on a permanent basis. However, right after the season came to an end, Milan hired Allegri as the new head coach and immediately made sure to hear him out on the mercato. One of the wishes,…
