Arda Güler could leave Real Madrid during the summer transfer window and it is being reported that he is open to joining a Serie A club. Güler continues to be linked with an exit because – despite the fact that he has made 30 appearances this season – the vast majority of his minutes have come as a substitute. This is perhaps not a surprise, given the wealth of attacking options that Real Madrid have. According to the latest from German source fussball.news (via Sport), Guler is attracting interest from the likes of RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen in the…
axim De Cuyper is a name that AC Milan fans have been hearing since the winter, and might have to get used to hearing a lot more in the coming months. While waiting for news on the next sporting director and next head coach, La Gazzetta dello Sport report that – in the event of Theo Hernandez being sold, obviously – the next left-back could very well be De Cuyper. It’s too early to talk about anything advanced, but Milan have contacted his agents and there is a certain approval within the management already. But who is De Cuyper, and…
Carlo Pellegatti believes that Fabio Paratici stands out as a sporting director candidate for AC Milan, while there are three head coaches on the list. Milan are approaching a critical period, one where decisions will be made that should in theory shape the direction of the club for multiple years to come, such as the addition of new members to the management and a possible new coach. Rumours are becoming more and more insistent about a possible return of Massimiliano Allegri, this time supported by Fabio Paratici. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two – after their shared successes…
Sergio Conceicao is thinking about making a further tweak to the team in order to create balance in the midfield department, a report claims. There is a real need to improve the defensive record after the Rossoneri allowed two goals in each of their last four Serie A games. They have only had three clean sheets in total under Conceicao, which is not enough for a coach whose Porto sides were much more solid at the back. According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress), Conceicao has had a new idea that he will test and develop during the full weeks…
AC Milan and Mike Maignan have reached an agreement in principle to extend his contract but there is a delay in formalising things, a report claims. It has been a strange season for Maignan, who has finally managed to go injury-free after being plagued in previous campaigns, but his performance levels have fluctuated and he has made some uncharacteristic errors at times. Nonetheless, there have been several reports stating that he has a verbal agreement with Milan to renew his deal expiring in 2026. That certainly suggests that management still have faith in the Frenchman, perhaps unlike his compatriot Theo…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, even Pioli was unable to get Leao to make a tangible contribution to the team in the non-possession phase, so it was more a case of what he was doing in the attacking third. Things went worse for Paulo Fonseca and (so far) Sergio Conceiçao who in this 2024-25 season have squeezed less from Leao than was reasonable to expect. Especially because he is the highest paid and most talented player in the squad. Maybe next season Allegri will make his contribution to help Leao make the definitive leap in…
Among the many players who arrived in the last winter transfer window, Kyle Walker is the one who seems to be impressing the most at Milanello. The English full-back has brought experience and a winning mentality to the Rossoneri dressing room, even though the results have not been what the former Manchester City captain had hoped for—nor what the Milan fans expected. However, this does not change the club’s and the environment’s perception of him, to the point that an important decision regarding his future has reportedly been made. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning:
AC Milan have a swathe of players currently out on loan and, in the absence of Champions League revenues, they could play an important role in the summer rebuild. Coming back and beating Lecce on Saturday was only a temporary reprieve in what has been an otherwise dreadful season in Serie A for Milan, one which will almost certainly see them finish outside of the top four. That is why the players out on loan could become crucial in assisting a summer revolution of sorts, because there is over €80m resting on the various options to buy. Thus, these permanent…
Alessandro Florenzi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are back in full training and ready to play again. They could be two ‘new signings’ for Sergio Conceicao. As MilanNews recall, Florenzi was actually on the bench for the comeback win over Lecce after missing the entire season due to knee surgery. Things had started well for the Italian too given he scored in the first summer friendly against Rapid Vienna. Having turned 34 years old yesterday, he is a true asset to the dressing room. Florenzi invited the entire team and staff to lunch for his birthday, but at Milanello. The group then…
While Milan and goalkeeper Mike Maignan have reached a verbal agreement to extend his contract until 2028, the Rossoneri are reportedly hesitating to put pen to paper. Milan have been in talks for months with the France international over a contract renewal at San Siro, with recent reports suggesting they have agreed on a new €5 million-per-season deal that would make him one of the club’s highest earners. Despite this understanding, the official announcement has been postponed due to both strategic and on-the-pitch considerations. As reported by Pianetamilan, transfer expert Matteo Moretto explained that Milan are first waiting to appoint…
