It was originally claimed that the Blues were only willing to pay €10m (£8.4m) for the France international, who has 12 months left on his contract. However, Calciomercato.com now believe they have doubled their original proposal. Fans on X are now optimistic that an agreement between the two clubs can be reached: The Rossoneri have been holding out for €30m (£25m) despite the fact that Maignan’s contract is running down. There is a feeling that Chelsea may wait and see whether Milan cave in and accept the current proposal which is on the table, knowing full well that the 29-year-old…
Benjamin Sesko has pulled out of Slovenia’s clash against Luxembourg through injury, as Arsenal step up their pursuit of the striker. The 22-year-old has starred for RB Leipzig since arriving at the German side in 2023. He scored 21 goals and notched six assists in all competitions, though it was a difficult season for Leipzig as they missed out on qualification for any European competition. Before joining the Bundesliga side, he fired Reb Bull Salzburg to three successive Austrian titles. Sesko has long been a target for Premier League clubs, though Arsenal’s interest appears more serious this time around. The…
It may not be the most likely outcome on the table for the Jazz star this summer, but in the eyes of Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz, the framework could be in place for the Lakers to bring Markkanen as a third star next to Luka Doncic and LeBron James. In Swartz’ proposal, the Lakers land Markkanen from the Jazz in exchange for a bundle of four players, alongside one unprotected first-round pick. Utah Jazz receive: F Rui Hachimura, G/F Dalton Knecht, PG Gabe Vincent, F Maxi Kleber, 2031 first-round pick (unprotected) Alongside the trade proposal, Swartz offers his rationale as…
The higher seed from the league phase will host the second leg throughout the knockout stages, but will teams take advantage? Perhaps Bayern Munich will have more motivation to finish in the top eight of the Champions League league phase. Beginning next season, the top eight teams from the league phase of the Champions League will play the second leg at home for the rest of the knockout rounds. This season that rule only applied to the Round of 16. If two teams from the top eight play each other, the higher seed will play the second leg at home.…
Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi is unsure about a move for Luka Modric. As he comes off contract at Real Madrid, Modric has emerged as a target for the Rossonero. Sacchi, who also has been Real Madrid GM, told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The question that is heating up Milan’s present is the following: are the Rossoneri right to focus on Luka Modric, a player who is approaching forty and who, in the last two seasons, has not been a starter for Real Madrid? “I have considered the economic aspect: Modric is a free agent and arrives on a…
If you’re like me, you might already be bored of the Mike Maignan to Chelsea story – but apparently AC Milan are now blocking the move.

Delap arrives at the club on a 6-year contract and Chelsea are paying the £30m release clause to sign which in reality, is an absolutely bargain in this day and age.

Sources tell Football Italia that Stefano Pioli considers his time at Al-Nassr over and would be glad to return to Fiorentina. Ex-Milan coach Pioli is Fiorentina’s leading candidate to replace Raffaele Palladino, and the Italian tactician is eager to return to the Stadio Franchi.

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s return to AC Milan appears unlikely despite reports the goalkeeper could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The goalkeeper’s agent, Enzo Raiola, outlined the factors that make a transfer back to Italy difficult at this point, with no negotiations taking place as of yet. Juventus, Inter and his former side Milan have been suggested as possible destinations after he cast doubt on his future at PSG, while Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on him. Donnarumma rose from the ranks of Milan before making a move to PSG in 2021 after winning the European Championship with Italy.…
While waiting to hear from AC Milan about his future, it seems that a move to Mexico has become an option for Luka Jovic. It was a very strange 2024-25 season for Jovic, who for large parts was an afterthought but then rose to prominence with the arrival of Sergio Conceicao. A January exit seemed nailed on but he remained and became the starter. He scored some important goals too, above all a brace in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter, to secure a 3-0 win on the night. The Serbian then earned a starting spot…
