During his post-match press conference yesterday, Cesc Fabregas was asked about the rumours linking him with AC Milan. However, the Spaniard didn’t give anything away. It’s not exactly a secret that Milan are looking for a new head coach ahead of next season. Sergio Conceicao was an emergency solution and he hasn’t impressed enough to earn a stay. Indeed, the Rossoneri will not trigger the renewal clause in his contract. Fabregas, who nearly came away with a great result in the game between Milan and Como last night, is one of the candidates according to Italian media. When asked about…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s role at AC Milan has regularly been scrutinised, and there are now suggestions that the Swede could depart from his role at the club. Throughout the past year, Ibrahimovic has been a criticised member of the management, largely due to the confusion about his role. Even now, we find out new parts of his role, but with Milan struggling, the Rossoneri are left looking for targets. Of course, as someone who has been as present as Zlatan, he has become an easy target for frustration, however, he has not helped himself with suggestions that he has clashed with…
Dele Alli was sent off just ten minutes after coming on for Como against AC Milan last night. He brought down his compatriot Ruben Loftus-Cheek and afterwards, they had a laugh about it. The English midfielder made his first appearance in two years last night, coming on for the final ten minutes of the game. However, instead of getting a goal or an assist, he made life very difficult for Como as he received a red card. The referee initially showed a yellow but after a VAR check, it was changed to a red. The challenge on Loftus-Cheek was indeed…
Liverpool’s search for a new centre-back has led them to Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck, but the German club has no intention of letting him go without a fight. The Reds have been actively scouting defensive reinforcements after holding off on strengthening that area in recent transfer windows. Despite being linked with young centre-backs in 2023, no deals materialised, and the emergence of Jarrel Quansah last season temporarily eased their urgency. However, under new boss Arne Slot, Quansah has struggled for consistent game time, forcing Liverpool to reconsider their defensive options. With uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s contract situation, Liverpool are…
The loss against RB Leipzig was already bad, but to make matters worse, Marcel Sabitzer was forced off after the first half hour, having been on the wrong end of an awkward collision, apparently injuring his knee. Based on the Austrian’s reaction at the time, and how he hobbled off the pitch with assistance from the trainers, fans were left fearing the worst. Thankfully, Sabitzer’s injury does not seem to be severe, but renowned journalist, Patrick Berger reports the Austrian is set to undergo rehabilitation training over the next four weeks. While this doesn’t mean the end of Marcel Sabitzer’s…
AC Milan have had a statement published in this morning’s newspapers aiming to clarify the relationship between RedBird Capital and Elliott Management. As a reminder, when Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird bought Milan from Elliott in 2022, he only paid €650m for a deal that was valued at a total of €1.2bn. The remaining €550m was transformed into a ‘vendor loan’, granted by Elliott to RedBird, with an interest rate of around 7%. The repayment deadline was set for August 2025 and there was a lot of speculation about whether Cardinale would be able to repay it and whether Elliott were pulling…
AC Milan took advantage of some of the head-to-head clashes in the battle for the European places over the weekend, and now fourth is just six points away. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, Sergio Conceiçao and Milan will not give up, not when they go behind during games nor now that they want to try and get into Europe by climbing the league. The weekend gave a hand to the Portuguese coach and the team: a second (hard-fought) consecutive victory in the league saw the gap to the UCL places shrink by two points. Eight…
Tammy Abraham had a direct hand in AC Milan’s comeback against Como on Sunday, and he hopes it will begin a period that sees him earn a stay. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) reports this morning, Abraham’s impact against both Lecce and Como was decisive in allowing Milan to turn the games around and take home six precious points, to boost morale and help trim the gap to fourth (now at six points). In the game at the Stadio Via del Mare, he came on when the score was 2-0 for the home team. While he did not score,…
Cesc Fabregas has delivered a strong verdict on Dele Alli’s debut horror show for Serie A side Como 1907 against AC Milan. The English media covered his first professional appearance since February 2023 as he came off the bench at the San Siro, but his cameo lasted just ten minutes as he was sent off after catching Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s achilles with his studs while chasing down his opponent. It was a heartbreaking moment for the former Tottenham star, with ex-international teammate Kyle Walker seen pleading with the referee not to send Alli off on his return. Now, his manager has…
Austin Reaves and the Los Angeles Lakers won 107-96 Sunday against the Phoenix Suns in Los Angeles to snap a four-game losing streak. LA was led by five-time All-Star Luka Doncic who supplied 33 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists against his former Western Conference Semifinals foe. Reaves was essential to the Los Angeles win as he contributed 28 points and six assists on 47.6% shooting. This was the former undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma’s third game in a row of scoring 28 points or more as well as his 25th 20-point game of the season, which marks a new…
