Arsenal could be about to make a major step forward in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko with RB Leipzig opening talks to sign a replacement for the Slovenian frontman. The Gunners are in the market for a new centre-forward this summer, having failed to sign one in either of the last two transfer windows. Raheem Sterling was the only forward through the door, arriving on a season-long loan from Chelsea last summer. Sesko was seen as the chosen one in the first of two summer transfer windows – due to the Club World Cup taking place in the United States…
Los Angeles Lakers guard Lou Williams described when he knew the legendary Kobe Bryant was ready to retire. Bryant came back from an Achilles tear at an unprecedented speed never seen before from a 34-year-old player out of his physical prime. The injury came in 2013, at the end of the season in which the Lakers were figuring things out on the fly with Bryant, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, and Steve Nash. The Black Mamba was fully coiled, playing the best basketball of his career up until the injury happened in April against the Golden State Warriors. Against all odds,…
Gimenez was the marquee signing of the most recent winter transfer window, with Milan shelling out €32m plus €3m in bonuses to snatch him from Feyenoord. It was a significant investment that only partially paid off on the pitch with six goals and three assists. At certain points he found himself behind Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham in the pecking order, two forwards who will not be part of Massimiliano Allegri’s Milan due to their respective expiring contract and loan deals. Calciomercato.com report that the reboot in the centre-forward area does not necessarily stop at Gimenez. An exit would be…
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan and Inter like Leoni for three reasons: he is young, already strong and Italian. These three qualities make him a prized piece on the market, so prized that he has triggered a summer derby between the Milanese clubs. However, Parma – who paid €4.8m (plus €3.5m in bonuses and a 10% resale) to Sampdoria last summer for Leoni – are standing firm. They are convinced that a further year of experience at the Stadio Tardini could increase his value even further. But it is equally true that, in the context of…
With the sale of Tijjani Reijnders completed, Milan must once again rebuild their midfield department just like they were forced to after the exit of Sandro Tonali. One of the names that has been increasingly linked in recent days is Guerra, and things have accelerated. According to Di Marzio, Milan have presented a formal offer for Valencia’s Javi Guerra. It is worth €16m as a fixed amount, and there are €4m in further bonuses. Now they are waiting for the response of the Spanish club, who may ask for a little more. Last year, in fact, they had negotiated with…
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) reports, tomorrow all clubs will have to make a decision on the players who arrived on loan. It applies both ways too, given Milan welcomed some players on a temporary basis but also saw some depart. When it comes to loan signings, Milan have already made their decision. There will be no negotiations opened for the permanent stays of Tammy Abraham and Joao Felix – who arrived on a dry loan – while Kyle Walker and Riccardo Sottil will not be bought permanently. On the other hand, the future of Pierre Kalulu has been…
It is well known that Milan are looking for a new centre-forward to compete with Santiago Gimenez for a starting spot. Earlier today, Carlo Pellegatti suggested that Kean could be the ‘pearl’ of the summer window, with According to SportMediaset, on Tuesday afternoon there has been an initial inquiry from the Rossoneri for the Fiorentina striker. It is ‘a request that comes directly from Allegri’, who knows him well since his time at Juventus and would like to bring him with him to the RossoneriMassimiliano Allegri a known admirer. However, Kean has a clause of €52m that is valid for…

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, the Doué brothers are living a different June: one is in the United States, the other is on the websites of Milan fans. Désiré is playing the Club World Cup with PSG – and the idea of winning it is not far-fetched – while Guéla is a Rossoneri target. Indeed, the source confirms that he is one of the most appreciated players for the right-back position. Milan, everyone knows, will change a lot in that area of the pitch given the idea is that Emerson Royal will go on loan and Kyle Walker will…
