While Bologna chose not to exercise their option to buy Tommaso Pobega, they remain keen on signing him permanently. Pobega left Milan last summer on a season-long loan with an option to buy. The 25-year-old made 30 appearances this past season, including 20 minutes in the Coppa Italia final, and bagged seven goal contributions in the process. Earlier in the week, Bologna confirmed that both he and Davide Calabria had left the club. As it stands, therefore, Pobega will return to base to be part of the preseason meet-up that will take place at Milanello under the orders of Massimiliano…
Ardon Jashari has made it clear that he wants to join only AC Milan, sources have told TEAMtalk, as Manchester United suffer a blow in their pursuit of the Club Brugge midfielder. Jashari is one of the finest young midfielders in Europe and was brilliant for Club Brugge last season. The 22-year-old midfielder scored four goals and registered six assists in 52 appearances, as Blauw-Zwart won the Belgian Pro League title. Jashari won the Belgian Pro League Player of the Year award and was also named the Belgian Young Player of the Year for the 2024/25 campaign. TEAMtalk reported on…

Al-Nassr are reportedly shifting their focus to Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli as they continue their hunt for a marquee left winger. After failing to persuade Liverpool to sell Luis Diaz, the Saudi Pro League side have identified the Brazilian international as a prime alternative to bolster their squad this summer. This summer’s transfer dealings have kicked off early in Saudi Arabia, with the league’s window officially opening 17 days ahead of schedule on Thursday. And according to GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness podcast, Al-Nassr are preparing a serious bid to lure Martinelli to the Middle East as Duran is set for life in…
Arsenal could be set for a major shake-up in attack this summer, with Saudi side Al Nassr reportedly ready to offer €85million to sign one of their key players. Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli, who just turned 24, was once tipped to follow a similar developmental arc to Bukayo Saka. However, while Saka has become one of Europe’s elite wingers, Martinelli’s progress has stagnated. Now, they could be set to part ways, with Ben Jacobs reporting Saudi side Al Nassr are prepared to spend €85million on Martinelli. With Arsenal targeting elite-level upgrades on the left wing, the club may now be…
AC Milan have officially announced their first signing of the summer transfer window, as Samuele Ricci arrives from Torino. Ricci has been linked with Milan repeatedly over the past few years even dating back to his time with Empoli. Rumours in the last few months seemed to suggest that it was only a matter of time before he joined the Rossoneri, and sure enough things got over the line. This evening, on the club’s official website, the deal was announced as completed with the Italian midfielder signing a deal until 2029, with the option of an extra season. “AC Milan…
The current situation between LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers is somewhat confusing. Throughout his entire tenure in L.A., the relationship has mostly been smooth sailing. However, ever since James opted into the final year of his contract, things have felt a bit off — at least according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. “They haven’t put out a statement. It’s not a rule that you put out a statement when a player picks up an option but it is customary, and the Lakers did not do that,” Windhorst said. “I had to actually check with the team and the league.…
Arsenal’s transfer window is beginning to hot up, with incomings and outgoings becoming more frequent at the Emirates Stadium under Mikel Arteta in recent days – and alongside a potential move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, one £80million-rated star could come into their ranks to form a lethal partnership with the England international. Martin Zubimendi is shortly set to sign from Real Sociedad, with the Spaniard having agreed personal terms with the Gunners months ago – with the only delay over a move being that the La Liga outfit wanted a deal to go through in July for accounting…
With the midfield being rebuilt around him, Youssouf Fofana hopes to play a leading role under Massimiliano Allegri as he did last season. As this morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport recalls, Fofana featured in 52 of the 55 games played by Milan last season. The only three absences were not because of selection either, but rather different circumstances. In the first game of the season the Frenchman was presented at San Siro during half-time, in the return derby on February 2 he was suspended, while in Milan-Bologna on May 9 he was out because of an injured foot. In…
Matteo Moretto has given an update on AC Milan’s pursuit of a new striker, confirming they were offered a Monaco forward. The new sporting director Igli Tare confirmed during a press conference last week that Milan are hunting for a new centre-forward. They will arrive to complement Santiago Gimenez, and he even revealed that the club want someone with characteristics very similar to Olivier Giroud. Speaking in a MilanNews column earlier in the week, Antonio Vitiello stated that there is a generous budget available for the acquisition of a new number nine. He believes it will be around €40-50m, leading…
