Calciomercato.com write that Conceicao arrived at Milan with the clear objective of imposing his leadership upon a group lacking in this aspect. Things couldn’t really have started any better, with a trophy after two games that led to the coach smoking a cigar and dancing. Immediately after he had to deal with a reality more complex than the one he had been told about. He decided to use a sometimes harsh line of conduct that was not welcomed by everyone in the same way, like Alvaro Morata who decided to move to Galatasaray. There was press conference on the eve…

This evening in Bologna, Milan will play their first Champions League playoff. In the rescheduled match from the ninth round, Sergio Conceição’s team is searching for that spark that could turn around what has been a disastrous season for the Rossoneri so far. Regarding the importance of the match, Corriere della Sera headlined this morning: “Milan calls on its stars. Last chance for the Champions League,” as failing to win would also jeopardize the other decisive clash for a spot in Europe’s elite competition, set for Sunday night at San Siro against Lazio. In short, within 72 hours, Milan is…
The Biancocelesti are without their most influential centre-forward Taty Castellanos who picked up an injury a couple of weeks ago against Napoli. The Argentine has been sorely missed, as his teammates haven’t been able to make up for his absence. Failed Experiments Last weekend in Venezia, Baroni decided to field Tijjani Noslin upfront, supported by Boulaye Dia. However, the Dutchman was hauled off early in the second half after an anonymous showing. The coach then experimented with Loum Tchaouna, fielding the Frencher winger as a striker in the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Inter Milan, but the result was similar. So…
With Theo Hernandez set to leave AC Milan this summer, if not next, the Rossoneri need to find a new talent to take the reigns and a new name has arisen. Despite the persistent talk of Maxim De Cuyper, Milan are not just considering one option to replace Theo. After all, it would be daft to do such a thing. Instead, the Rossoneri are assessing every option that they can find, and it seems that a new option has entered the equation. As Gazzetta dello Sport wrote this afternoon, Rayan Ait-Nouri has emerged as a potential candidate for the Diavolo.…
Arrigo Sacchi has absolved Sergio Conceicao of blame for what is happening currently at AC Milan, instead blaming the lack of a strong management. The past few months paint a rather puzzling picture, starting with the summer when Milan conducted a transfer window that has only really yielded Youssouf Fofana as a useful asset, and they hired Paulo Fonseca as head coach to then sack him in December. With Sergio Conceicao in charge, the directors decided to go for a winter revolution at least by relative standards. Five players arrived including Santiago Gimenez, Kyle Walker and Joao Felix, while six…
The top four train is very close to leaving without AC Milan, and that makes tonight’s game against Bologna a do-or-die. Bologna-Milan was originally meant to be played at the end of October, but the game ended up being postponed due to risk of flooding in what actually ended up being quite a farcical situation in the end. Fast-forward to the end of February, and the game has a lot more meaning now than it might have done then. The Rossoneri are eight points behind Juventus in fourth and this is the game in hand, so a win is needed…
Nicolo Schira reports that Barcelona have shown interest in AC Milan’s forward Rafael Leao, inquiring about his availability. While no formal negotiations or bids have been made, the Catalan club is monitoring the Portuguese international’s situation closely. Leao, who renewed his contract with Milan in June 2023, is committed to the Rossoneri until 2028, with a release clause set at €175 million. In January, Leao reportedly declined a lucrative offer from a Saudi Arabian club, reaffirming his dedication to Milan. Despite his contractual commitment, recent reports suggest that Barcelona are keen on bolstering their attacking options and view Leao as…
Alexis Saelemaekers has become a driving force at Roma just as he was in the second part of last season with Bologna, and AC Milan have taken note. As Calciomercato.com report, Saelemaekers has evolved from all points of view – tactically, technically and characteristically – to become a player who can make a difference at a club like Roma where there has been a lot of pressure this season. Against Monza he scored his fifth goal of the season with a lovely curling shot from the left wing, and with 12 games still to go, this is already the best…
