Arrigo Sacchi has absolved Sergio Conceicao of blame for what is happening currently at AC Milan, instead blaming the lack of a strong management. The past few months paint a rather puzzling picture, starting with the summer when Milan conducted a transfer window that has only really yielded Youssouf Fofana as a useful asset, and they hired Paulo Fonseca as head coach to then sack him in December. With Sergio Conceicao in charge, the directors decided to go for a winter revolution at least by relative standards. Five players arrived including Santiago Gimenez, Kyle Walker and Joao Felix, while six…
With the winter recruitment, AC Milan have recently gained the ability to play four forwards at once, but it has not been a positive experiment so far. Despite the hype of the new arrivals, there has been little action upon it. Santiago Gimenez has shown his promise, whilst opinions of Joao Felix are certainly mixed. When added to the squad together, alongside the other attackers, the unit has underwhelmed. After their first outing against Feyenoord, there were questions about the system and the potential it had, and since then no answers have been found, leading Sergio Conceicao to plan a…
With Theo Hernandez set to leave AC Milan this summer, if not next, the Rossoneri need to find a new talent to take the reigns and a new name has arisen. Despite the persistent talk of Maxim De Cuyper, Milan are not just considering one option to replace Theo. After all, it would be daft to do such a thing. Instead, the Rossoneri are assessing every option that they can find, and it seems that a new option has entered the equation. As Gazzetta dello Sport wrote this afternoon, Rayan Ait-Nouri has emerged as a potential candidate for the Diavolo.…
No, that is not a headline from his playing career. AC Milan have apparently joined ‘all of Europe’ in tracking Cesc Fabregas’ managerial situation at Como, according to a report this afternoon. Some of the biggest clubs tracking Fabregas is a story that could have been told several times in years gone when the Spanish midfielder was tearing apart teams on the pitch. Now, whilst maybe not to the same level, the Spaniard is getting people’s attention again. Como have not been spectacular this season, but they have been a solid enough team in Serie A and that has to…
Milan remain in the Coppa Italia, but their sole priority for the rest of the 2024-25 is to finish the Serie A season in the top four, which will guarantee qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. Here is what the Rossoneri might need to secure their spot in Europe’s top competition. Milan have ground to make up in their push for a top four finish in Serie A. The team currently sit in seventh place in the Serie A table with 41 points from 25 matches, although they have a game in hand against Bologna on Thursday,…
Theo Hernandez’s contract talks with AC Milan have stalled, and Manchester City are eyeing a summer move for the left-back, according to Teammate. With Pep Guardiola keen to strengthen the left-back position, Hernandez has been shortlisted alongside Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso. Milan are looking to sell Hernandez, whose contract expires in 2026, after recent poor performances. AC Milan are willing to lower their asking price to around €35m, a fee which Man City considers fair. Real Madrid are also interested in Hernandez, who previously played for them from 2017 to 2019. Hernandez is open to a return to the Bernabeu, but…

As reported, discussions about the Napoli coach’s candidacy have begun within the club. Italian media, including La Gazzetta dello Sport, have suggested that the Rossoneri may part ways with Sergio Conceição at the end of the season if the team fails to secure a top-four finish in Serie A. – Conte’s name has been circulating again over the past two days. It is being discussed, but nothing concrete has emerged yet. Last summer, Milan…
AC Milan and Inter will face each other another two times this season, with a two-legged Coppa Italia semi-final set for April. Milan booked their place in the final four of the competition earlier in the month with a 3-1 victory over Roma, which came thanks to a brace from Tammy Abraham and a goal from debutant Joao Felix. They knew that Inter or Lazio would be the opponent based on the outcome of last night’s other quarter-final, and the Nerazzurri prevailed 2-0 with a Marko Arnautovic volley and a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty. As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via…
AC Milan are beginning to think about Theo Hernandez’s potential replacement, and they have reportedly begun discussions over one of their top targets. There have been widespread reports over the past few days – including our own exclusive update – about Theo potentially leaving Milan in the summer. In addition to having a poor season form-wise, his deal runs out in 2026 meaning a natural crossroads has approached. According to what is being reported by this morning’s edition of Tuttosport, Milan have stepped up their interest in Maxim De Cuyper, knowing that they might well need to sign a new…
AC Milan hold an interest in signing Ibrahim Maza from Hertha BSC and were willing to offer a sizeable sum in January, according to a report. As per a report from Kicker, Milan and Porto both came forward to sign the 19-year-old talent Maza in the winter mercato. The forward had two ‘concrete and highly attractive offers’ and turned down both clubs. Milan ended up turning to Riccardo Sottil and Joao Felix to strengthen the attacking midfielder and left wing roles, but they went in with a bid for Maza which Hertha were willing to accept. However, the teenager made…
