Giacomo Raspadori had already been targeted by Gian Piero Gasperini for Atalanta, now the Napoli striker is on the wish list at Roma. The striker has played a crucial role in both the Napoli Scudetto campaigns in 2023 and 2025, despite not being a regular in the starting XI for either campaign. However, Raspadori is still looking for more room to show what he can do and the answer may well be at Roma. Gasperini had already wanted to sign the former Sassuolo man for his Atalanta squad, so now that he is taking over at Roma, the striker is…

Milan had the rather remarkable record of having used five different starting strikes in 2024-25. Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham, Luka Jovic, Francesco Camarda and Santiago Gimenez all had the chance at various points. Going into the summer window, Gimenez and Camarda are the only two guarantees. Morata is out on loan at Galatasaray, while Abraham’s loan will soon expire and Jovic’s deal will run out. According to what Gianluca Di Marzio reported during ‘Calciomercato – L’Originale’ on Sky (via MilanNews), there is certainly a striker on Milan’s list of targets for the summer transfer window. The new head coach Massimiliano…
ESPN insider Bobby Marks said this week he expects the Lakers franchise to be “extremely aggressive” this summer. I expect them to be extremely aggressive this offseason, especially with LeBron [James] likely going into, you know, he’s got one year left on his contract,” Marks said on Get Up. “I think there’s three things here. You’ve gotta take advantage of the $60 million in expiring contracts, when you’re looking at certainly players like Gabe Vincent and Rui Hachimura. The second thing is, they showed their hand at the trade deadline when they made that Mark Williams trade that wound up…

France international goalkeeper Mike Maignan (29) wants to leave AC Milan this summer to join Chelsea FC, according to a report this Thursday from L’Equipe. The Lille OSC Academy product is expected to start between the sticks tonight in Stuttgart with France in the Nations League semi-final against Spain. Maignan joined Milan in 2021 over a five-year contract, which means he will now enter his final contract year with the Rossoneri.

Usman Dembélé has delivered a sensational season for . When asked about Dembélé’s progress, van Basten high praise for the forward, drawing a flattering comparison to one of football’s greatest legends—a revered figure in the Netherlands. “He plays somewhat like Johan Cruyff, who often operated as a false forward,” Van Basten told L’Équipe. This transformation really kicked in around mid-season because there were still many issues early on. When Dembélé started playing centrally, his freedom made the team significantly stronger.” Another former AC Milan star and Ballon d’Or winner, Ruud Gullit (1987), who also works as a Ziggo Sport consultant,…
The English side wants to bring the French goalkeeper to London, whose contract with the Rossoneri expires in a year, but for now, there is a gap between the two clubs’ valuations: the Blues, in fact, do not intend to put more than 15 million euros on the table, while the Rossoneri are asking for at least 30 — otherwise, they will not even begin discussions. As of today, no official offer from Chelsea for Maignan has yet arrived at Milan, and the goalkeeper’s contract expires in a year. Negotiations for a renewal with Milan have been stalled for months…
By the end of 2024-25, Arsenal supporters must have grown sick to the back teeth of that same old ditty. Fans of teams far, far below their position in the Premier League table were rocking up to the Emirates Stadium and singing ‘second again, ole ole’. Indeed, the Gunners were on their way to another second-place finish, tying the record they themselves set in the days of Arsene Wenger for most consecutive runners-up placements in English top-flight history. We can throw all of the valid excuses out there to defend Arsenal’s campaign, be they injury-related or otherwise, but ultimately history…
With a year to run on his Milan contract, France goalkeeper Maignan has emerged as a target for Chelsea. However, the Daily Mail says Chelsea see Milan’s £25m valuation as too rich given his contract status. Instead, Chelsea rate the deal closer to £10m, knowing they can secure Maignan to a pre-contract in six months’ time and sign him for nothing next summer. Chelsea have five keepers on their books, Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic, Mike Penders and Kepa Arrizabalaga, but none have convinced management over their long-term prospects. Maignan helped Milan to the Serie A title in…
