It is now no secret that AC Milan want a new striker, but sporting director Igli Tare faces a ‘tough test’ to please the head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Who will join up with Santiago Gimenez to complete the centre-forward department ahead of 2025-26? This is one of the topics being discussed at Casa Milan and Milanello, where Tare and Allegri are at work, but top strikers certainly do not come cheap. Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanPress) reports on the matter, quoting the Albanian manager’s comments, who had identified a ‘Giroud-like’ profile as the ideal choice to complete the attack.…
AC Milan know that they must sign two new starting full-backs this summer, and the sooner they arrive the better in Max Allegri’s eyes. Milan in the recent past built many of its successes on the left flank, fuelled by Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. On the right, however, they found balance with captain Davide Calabria. With Calabria gone and Theo going, the time has come for change. A shift to the right? On the right side last season, Emerson Royal, Kyle Walker and Alex Jimenez rotated, never finding stability. If for years the team was more unbalanced on the…
The next few days will be crucial for Marc Pubill’s future, a report from Spain claims, and AC Milan are in talks to sign him. According to Marca, Wolverhampton Wanderers from the Premier League and Milan from Serie A have shown an interest in Pubill. The full-back’s entourage have confirmed that talks are underway with both clubs, who are the best positioned to sign him. Pubill was initially attracted to the idea of playing in European competitions next season, but neither side will be doing so. Wolves finished 16th in the Premier League , while Milan (eighth) will not play…
Malick Thiaw said he will let Como know soon as they await an answer, but the hypothesis of him staying at AC Milan is far from a remote one. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan and Como are expecting a final answer by midweek from Thiaw. The club by the lake would give the defender a contract of €4m per season and for him they would pay Milan a figure close to €25m, which would be invested in a replacement. Massimiliano Allegri’s press conference confirmed the rumours about how he views the central defenders. Strahinja Pavlovic is being watched…
One of the names that fans might read more about under Massimiliano Allegri is Vittorio Magni, and for a very obvious reason. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, although Milan are very much in ‘win now’ mode after a disastrous season and with Allegri coming back, there will still be the chance for young talents for forge opportunities and playing time. Among them is Vittorio Magni, a full-back with a special bond with the Rossoneri. Born in Milan, he has been wearing the red and black shirt for several years now, and has now begun his training with the first…
Irritation is growing inside the walls of Casa Milan as Club Brugge still have not responded to the offer for Ardon Jashari. It was reported by Sky and other sources that there should be a response from Club Brugge to the Rossoneri’s latest offer for Jashari, one totalling €38m, by Tuesday at the latest. However, it is clear from the lack of news that this response has not been forthcoming. According to the latest from Matteo Moretto on his YouTube channel, there has been ‘no progress’ on the Jashari front. Milan were expecting a response from Club Brugge early this…
With the introduction of a lottery for top draft picks negotiated into baseball’s Collective Bargaining Agreement beginning with the 2023 Draft, the Orioles stopped stinking at just the right time. They had the worst record in the 2021 season and they are the last team to take that into an automatic #1 pick in the following Draft. Added to that were picks in both competitive balance round A (after the first round) and round B (after the second round). The Orioles had two such picks because they acquired the round B pick from the Marlins in the surprise late spring…
Arsenal are edging closer towards a deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke as they look to make their first attacking signing of the summer transfer window. The Gunners have been in pursuit of attacking targets this summer in the wake of a season in which they could have done with more firepower, both centrally and on the flanks. Madueke has already agreed personal terms over a move to Arsenal, and now the likes of David Ornstein and Florian Plettenberg have shared updates which shows the Gunners are on the right track. Ornstein took to X on Wednesday afternoon to report…
Arsenal have decided not to sell winger Gabriel Martinelli this summer, despite reported interest in him. Martinelli’s future was plunged into uncertainty after Arsenal have expressed interest in signing several wingers such as Rodrygo, Eberechi Eze, and Noni Madueke from Chelsea. The latter is still expected to join Arsenal, but he will be more of a backup to Bukayo Saka, who suffered a hamstring injury last year. Reports emerged saying that Martinelli was subject to transfer interest from Bundesliga side Bayern Munich, which intensified the rumours that the Brazilian would leave Arsenal after a season where he scored eight goals…
Noni Madueke has firmly lost his place in the Chelsea team. From being relegated to the makeshift left-winger, he is now out of Enzo Maresca’s best starting XI. Having entered the Club World Cup with his spot in doubt, Madueke started two of the three group games. Chelsea won both of those without conceding but Madueke would struggle to argue he was at his best in either. Instead, Maresca continued his trend of preferring Pedro Neto on the right. As was the case in the final month of the main season, Madueke was tasked with operating on his weaker left…
