Having failed to finish high enough in Serie A last season, AC Milan must begin their latest Coppa Italia quest in the first round, meeting Bari at San Siro on Sunday. Following a chaotic 2024-25 campaign – in which they still lifted the Supercoppa Italiana and reached the cup final – Milan are intent on challenging for more trophies this season. Match preview By their lofty standards, Milan have endured an abysmal year, dispensing with two Portuguese coaches – first Paulo Fonseca, then Sergio Conceicao – and finishing only eighth in Serie A. Though they won the Supercoppa Italiana in…
This weekend could be big for AC Milan’s pursuit of a striker, considering some more names could come into the mix. There is a lot of work to do before the end of the summer. However, it involves one more signing: a striker. Milan cannot go into the season with only one forward, and when Santiago Gimenez has not fully proved himself, it enhances the need. Of course, the Rossoneri are aware of this, and Massimiliano Allegri is requesting a new number nine. No one has arrived yet, though, and it may be a bit longer before a signing is…
Recently, Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio reported that Josip Stanisic could receive offers from other clubs seeking a right-back before the end of the current transfer window, mentioning AC Milan among them. According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, AC Milan showed concrete interest in Josip Stanisic but was promptly turned down by Bayern Munich. The 25-year-old right-back will remain at Bayern, and all other inquiries were also rejected. The Croatian international plays an important role in Vincent Kompany’s plans. His contract runs until 2029.
After finishing eighth in Serie A last season, their lowest league standing in over a decade, AC Milan find themselves at a critical juncture, and have made some serious moves to try and right the ship this summer. The Rossoneri, a club synonymous with silverware and European glory, endured a 2024-25 campaign that fell far short of their lofty standards. The worst finish since their 10th-place result in 2014-15 has sparked soul-searching at the San Siro, with fans and management alike demanding a swift return to form. Milan are currently favoured to finish in the top four of Serie A,…
San Siro is set for a truly special evening: the new faces of AC Milan, from Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modrić to Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci, Pervis Estupiñan, Koni De Winter, Zachary Athekame and Pietro Terracciano, are ready to step onto the pitch and meet their new fans for the very first time. Ahead of the home Coppa Italia clash against Bari, between the end of the warm-up and the opening whistle, the players will take to the field to connect with the Rossoneri family and kick off a new chapter in the Club’s history – one to be lived…
Arsenal have a number of incredible players in their squad. The Gunners have been challenging for the Premier League title in each of the last three seasons, and they have come close to winning it. That wouldn’t have been possible without world-class players, and Mikel Arteta has quite a few of them available at his disposal. Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister is a big fan of one of them. Mac Allister has always been a talented player. The Argentine joined Brighton and Hove Albion in January 2019, but it wasn’t until March of the following year that he made his…
Arsenal want to offload Oleksandr Zinchenko, but do they have a suitor? It can be easy to forget how crucial and integral the Ukrainian was to Mikel Arteta’s Gunners plans all those years ago, and he has been a good servant of the club, but now, he’s far down the pecking order. Jurrien Timber, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, and Myles Lewis-Skelly are all ahead of Zinchenko, and with the club splurging this offseason, Andreas Berta has to balance the books. With the entire football world knowing the Gunners are willing to listen to offers for Zinchenko, thus far, there hasn’t…
Mikel Arteta insisted that Martin Odegaard retains the support of his Arsenal teammates after calls for the midfielder to be stripped of the captaincy. Odegaard has captained the Gunners for the past three seasons, leading his side to three successive runners-up finishes in the Premier League, but endured a quieter season last time out, with just 11 goal contributions in the league last season. That reduced output recently led Tony Adams to call for Declan Rice to instead be given the armband, with the former Arsenal captain claiming the Gunners won’t win the league with Odegaard as skipper. ‘The call…
Mikel Arteta expects Manchester United to “be better” this season as they look to put their miserable 2024/25 campaign behind them. Ruben Amorim is preparing to lead United in his first full season as manager, having arrived at Old Trafford in November 2024. Amorim’s arrival failed to be the fillip United hoped it would be following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal, with the club failing to secure European qualification and slumping to 15th in the table. United kick off their campaign with a home game against Arsenal on Sunday, and Arteta addressed the media on Friday ahead of the weekend’s big…
Benjamin Sesko could make his Manchester United debut this weekend against Arsenal. Many of the biggest headlines ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal stem from the fact that both clubs spent big on new centre-forwards this summer. Arsenal won the race to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, despite being heavily linked with a move to United throughout the summer. Interestingly, United signed RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who was one of Mikel Arteta’s top targets for Arsenal this summer. This weekend, the two Premier League newcomers could make their competitive debut for their new clubs. All…
