Federico Chiesa will head back to Italy this summer, and AC Milan are once again interested in the winger. However, they are not the leading chaser. Last summer, there were suggestions that Milan were looking to make a move for Chiesa, with the forward falling out of favour with Massimiliano Allegri. However, a move was never made with Liverpool instead swooping in. Now, 12 months on, it appears the winger will be back on the market, with his time in Merseyside coming to an end. The Italian has never been favoured by Arne Slot, and reports have suggested that he…
During his usual editorial for TMW, director Niccolò Ceccarini provided an update on AC Milan’s current and future transfer strategies for the upcoming summer window, as the club continues to wait for the appointment of the new sporting director: On Mike Maignan’s future: “Now let’s talk about Maignan. A general agreement had been reached with him regarding a contract renewal, but then talks came to a halt. If he were to leave, the first name on the list remains Lucas Chevalier from Lille, who’s had an excellent season. However, in recent weeks Moncada has explored other foreign options.”
Alvaro Morata’s move to AC Milan in the summer was scrutinised, but after six months, the deal was criticised even further as he left in the January mercato.

Then, with his performances failing to impress, the deal quickly became a flop. Despite this, most would not have imagined an exit. However, in the January mercato, the striker went on his way, due to the arrival of Sergio Conceicao, which has emerged since…
AC Milan coach Sergio Conceicao has dismissed reports of his job being in doubt after defeat to Atalanta. The 1-0 reverse leaves the Rossonero sitting in ninth place on the Serie A table. Conceicao said afterwards: “Since I arrived, even when I won the Supercoppa and my first Serie A game against Cagliari, they were already talking about all the coaches who could come to Milan. “I’ve been in football for 40 years, it’s fine, but those I work with see all these stories and it doesn’t help give stability. We must work today to be better tomorrow. If we…
AC Milan have decided to sack underperforming manager Sergio Conceicao at the end of the season (h/t journalist Fabrizio Romano).

However, that proved to be a false dawn as Milan have since endured a troubled run in Serie A and the Champions League. The 1-0 home defeat against Atalanta on Sunday was the final nail in the coffin, leaving Milan ninth in the table. Their Champions League qualification hopes are all but over as they are nine points adrift of…
Bayern Munich and AC Milan are both interested in signing on-loan Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos this summer, a report has claimed. Chelsea struck a deal worth up to £18m to sign Santos from Vasco da Gama in January 2023. After joining that summer, the midfielder headed to Nottingham Forest on loan, but he was afforded just two appearances in five months before being recalled. He was then sent to Chelsea’s sister side Strasbourg, where Santos has emerged as one of the most exciting young midfielders around. The 20-year-old Brazil international has ten goals and five assists across all competitions this…
