A Milan derby could take place in the summer transfer window as both clubs are aiming to sign Samuele Ricci from Torino, a report claims. According to Calciomercato.com, Ricci renewed his contract recently until 2028 but with a gentleman’s agreement included. Torino president Urbano Cairo is inclined to take into consideration any proposals from the big clubs that may arrive during the summer. The performances of the Italy international have attracted plenty of interest from Inter and Milan, while abroad Manchester City are keen but they spent €60m at the end of January to sign Nico Gonzalez from Porto. Ricci…
AC Milan welcome Como to the San Siro for an Italian Serie A clash on Saturday as they continue their push for one of the European places. With both teams favoring an attacking approach, an open, high-scoring contest is likely. The hosts are coming off a 3-2 league victory over Lecce, snapping a three-game losing streak in Serie A. They have been consistent going forward, netting in eight consecutive league matches, with all four goals in the last two fixtures coming in the second half. The Rossoneri have conceded nine goals in their last five outings in all competitions, failing…
Warren Bondo’s debut with AC Milan was certainly a positive one given the circumstances, and Sergio Conceicao seems to have developed an idea from it. As MilanNews write, Bondo’s return – who arrived on a permanent basis for €10m in the winter but was nursing an injury – opens up a series of new tactical scenarios for the coach Conceicao and his staff in this final part of the season. Ideal pivot Bondo arrived at Milan with the label of deputy to Youssouf Fofana but he could also play alongside him in the pursuit of balance. In Lecce this did…
In recent days, the Italian media has been flooded with news that Fabio Paratici and Massimiliano Allegri are the ideal candidates for Milan. An example of what we mean can be found just by looking at La Gazzetta dello Sport. On March 8 came news that Allegri is the No.1 candidate for Milan, then on March 10 came the first mention of hiring him plus Paratici for an ‘Italian Diavolo’. The very next day they did another double page spread about why the two former Juventus men are being considered by the Rossoneri hierarchy, on March 12 it was why…
Joao Felix’s arrival at AC Milan was greeted with some enthusiasm, but less than a couple of months later his fate already seems sealed. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning that in a parallel world, Sergio Conceiçao’s Milan turned a corner with the winter transfer window, thanks also to the signing of Felix on loan from Chelsea. In the real world, the opposite is true. If the reality had been better, today we would be talking concretely about the possibility of keeping the Portuguese forward at Milan in the seasons to come. Instead, after a bright start,…
AC Milan have four players on loan at present, and halfway through March we can already begin to make predictions on their respective fates. In addition to the issue of the sporting director and then the head coach, Milan will also have to resolve the issue regarding the players on loan. Who will be bought and who will leave? MilanNews analyse each case. Kyle Walker Milan obtained a €5m option to buy as part of the six-month loan agreed with Manchester City. The doubts are linked to the age (he will turn 35 in May) and the will of the…
According to a report by Football Italia, AC Milan have decided on a potential permanent move for Chelsea loanee Joao Felix. The Rossoneri have opted against signing the Portuguese star after his underwhelming performances. Felix has bounced around Europe since he left Benfica for Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019 for a reported €127.2 million. The forward had a loan spell with the Blues from January 2023 until the end of that season for a reported €11 million fee. He then spent a year on loan with Barcelona. He permanently joined Chelsea in the summer of 2024 for a…
AC Milan are happy with what Kyle Walker has shown during his loan spell so far and have already made a decision on his future. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), the Milan management believe that Walker’s impact has been ‘more than positive’. The former Manchester City captain demonstrated all his qualities, immediately earning a starting spot until his recent injury. The paper are sure that the Rossoneri will therefore exercise the option that they have to buy the right-back from City at the end of this season for a figure of €5m, and he will therefore become…
The Coppa Italia Primavera final will be played at a rather surprising venue, with the Arena Civica in Milan having been chosen. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, the Arena is the stadium where the Italian national team played the first match in its history, against France in 1910. It is the oldest active sports facility in the world, it was designed in 1805 and inaugurated in 1807, sensationally with a naval battle. What connection does all this have with 2025? How is it possible that they still play there? It’s possible because the Lega Council on Monday decided that…
Having avoided a calamitous defeat last week, AC Milan will host Como on Saturday evening, when the regional rivals meet at San Siro. Amid talk of a crisis, Milan fought back to beat Lecce, but they still sit only ninth in the Serie A standings. Meanwhile, their visitors are on track to secure top-flight survival. So often their saviour, Christian Pulisic saved Milan’s skin again last weekend, with his brace securing a 3-2 comeback win over Lecce at Via del Mare. The Rossoneri ended a three-game losing streak despite trailing 2-0 with more than an hour played, reportedly saving recently-installed…
