Another report has claimed that the AC Milan management do not consider the midfield to be complete and that Samuele Ricci of Torino is on their list. TuttoMercatoWeb reported earlier in the week that Ricci is a player that the technical director Geoffrey Moncada ‘greatly admires’, to the extent that he was considered the main alternative to Youssouf Fofana. According to MilanLive, Ricci’s displays to start the season with Torino and with Italy have only confirmed the talent that he has. He has shown his ability to adapt to different roles in midfield, playing in front of the defence and…
Noah Okafor has started the season well, proving decisive for his team when he scored the final 2-2 goal in the debut against Torino. But, he could not follow through with that positive performance when he started from the first minute against Parma. The situation became even more problematic for him following Abraham’s arrival at Milanello, brought in by the management at Fonseca’s request. The Englishman (who is currently on loan from AS Roma and is reportedly set to start tonight against Venezia) quickly adapted to the team, providing an assist to Leao in the match at the Olimpico and…
Cathy Engelbert, the WNBA Commissioner, is under scrutiny following her recent appearance on CNBC’s “Power Lunch,” where her comments on managing sensitive social issues in the league sparked controversy. Engelbert’s remarks were met with swift criticism from the WNBA Players’ Association (WNBPA) and even drew a response from emerging star Angel Reese. During the interview, Engelbert addressed the increasing negativity and contentious discussions on social media involving prominent players and their fanbases. She likened the situation to the historic Bird-Magic rivalry of 1979, suggesting that such rivalries are crucial for maintaining viewer interest. “There’s no more apathy. Everybody cares. It’s a little of that Bird-Magic moment……
She is one of the most talented players in the WNBA, a young girl that has become a star at a young age and seems to have everything. Angel Reese is a player that has been awarded everything in her first year with the Chicago Sky. However, all the fame and fortune she has captured from the start of her career, even during her time at LSU with all the national recognition the program has, also comes a lot of negative things. The young star recently spoke about the matter in the most recent episode of her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’. She revealed…
Ange Postecoglou is apparently searching for attackers for the January transfer window, and Tottenham is reportedly willing to spend around £17 million for AC Milan forward Noah Okafor. Spurs currently have seven attackers in their first-team squad. The biggest name is Heung-min Son, and he has been joined by a couple of new signings in Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert of late, along with the other players already at Spurs’ disposal.

AC Milan supporters have been left furious by the team’s start to the season and it could mean that the Champions League clash with Liverpool is played in front of thousands of empty seats. Liverpool is set to face AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, but there’s a chance that the match could be played amid thousands of empty seats. The Reds are kicking off their league phase campaign with a visit to San Siro – a stadium they haven’t been defeated at since 1965. Arne Slot’s players have had an impeccable start to their Premier League season,…
According to reports from Manuele Baiocchini, journalist of Sky Sport Italia, the AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca will opt for a change in the defensive line. It seems that the 24-year-old Italian defender Matteo Gabbia will start from the first minute tomorrow. He will not be alongside Fikayo Tomori, however. In fact, according to the report, the former Chelsea central defender will sit on the bench after his poor performances in the first three matches of the Serie A. The starting centre-backs, therefore, against Venezia tomorrow night at the San Siro stadium, shall be Strahinja Pavlovic and Matteo Gabbia.
The absence of Zlatan Ibrahimović from Milanello continues to make an overwhelming noise. Having been absent for 15 days now, it is likely that the Senior Advisor of RedBird will not attend the home game against Venezia, where Paulo Fonseca could have used support, especially moral, given the delicate situation he already finds himself in, as relayed via Milannews.it. Tuttosport reports that it will be Gerry Cardinale’s job to get Zlatan Ibrahimović back on track when he returns, as if the Swede is truly meant to be a key figure for the Rossoneri’s sporting area, he should prove it with…
AC Milan chief Gerry Cardinale says he and RedBird are committed to the club for the long haul. Cardinale insists he wants to bring the good times back to the club. He told the Financial Times: “What I’m trying to do is bring what I’ve learned in over 30 years in America to European football. There’s a great opportunity to bring Milan back to the glories of the past.” During the interview, Cardinale explained how the entry of private capital into sports companies has led to “inflated valuations” based on “easy notions” about the future growth of the sector. Attacking…
The delicate start to the season puts Milan in a position where they can no longer afford to make mistakes. Against Venezia, Paulo Fonseca’s team will be obligated to secure their first win of the season, especially since it was entirely unexpected that by mid-September, the Rossoneri would find themselves already this far behind in the title race and, more importantly, far from looking like a solid and viable title contender. This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that, just like during the away game in Rome, where the team salvaged a draw, Milan’s owner Gerry Cardinale will once again…
