AC Milan can not consider any player truly untouchable without Champions League football, and that applies to Tijjani Reijnders despite his renewal. Reijnders has been perhaps Milan’s best performer this season with 40 games played (and we are still at the beginning of March), 12 goals scored and three assists in all competitions. In the disastrous and negative season that the club are experiencing, he has been a shining light. As Calciomercato.com report, Reijnders signed a new contract yesterday worth €3.5m net per season (plus bonuses tied to personal and team objectives) until June 2030, without the inclusion of any…
The Sporting Judge has confirmed that Strahinja Pavlovic will be suspended for Sunday’s game between Lecce and AC Milan. The surprise news from the press release is that Mike Maignan will be banned for one game because of something he said to the referee in the tunnel after the full-time whistle, but Pavlovic will also be suspended for one round. The Serbian centre-back will not make the trip to Lecce for the game on Saturday 8 March at 18:00 at the Stadio via Del Mare. He was sent off midway through the second half during the 2-1 defeat to Lazio…
Inter Milan and AC Milan’s bid to to get a new stadium built on the site of the San Siro was boosted on Tuesday after the mayor of Milan said he hoped to sell the iconic old ground to the Serie A clubs before the summer. Speaking to radio station RTL 102.5, Giuseppe Sala said that he was hoping to receive on Tuesday a formal feasibility study, including a purchase offer, from the two clubs which he would then pass to Milan’s city council. Giants of European football, Inter and Milan have long desired to replace the current San Siro…
Liverpool are once again in the headlines for a potential high-profile transfer, with AC Milan’s Rafael Leao emerging as a serious target. According to TeamTalk, “Liverpool are considering an approach for AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, after AC Milan set an enticing price tag for him amid Barcelona interest.” With Milan looking to generate funds this summer, the opportunity to sign the Portuguese winger at a reduced price has certainly caught the Reds’ attention. AC MILAN READY TO CASH IN ON LEAO Leao has long been considered one of Serie A’s brightest attacking talents, and his performances for Milan have made…
Milan seems to have made its choice. Unless there are incredible twists, the new sporting director of the Rossoneri will be Igli Tare, a director with over a decade of experience at Lazio, where he managed to make his way and become one of the most influential and credible figures in the world of football. The choice of the new director seems to be made, after the London meetings with Cardinale and Ibrahimović: the former right-hand man of Lotito has surpassed the competition from Paratici and Berta, the other two candidates for the position. In fact, he is a strong…
Stefano Pioli has admitted that he is not enjoying seeing his old club AC Milan going through such a difficult moment, while also speaking about the late Davide Astori. Milan made the decision to part ways with Pioli after nearly five years at the club following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, and it would be fair to say that things have not gone to plan. His replacement Paulo Fonseca lasted less than 25 games before being given his marching orders, and Sergio Conceicao is doing even worse in terms of points per game pace. On a day like today…
Milan star Christian Pulisic was delighted by Tijjani Reijnders’ contract extension and congratulated his teammate on social media: ‘Well deserved. Netherlands international Reijnders signed a new contract with Milan until 2030 on Monday. Reijnders has been one of the few standout performers at San Siro this season, having collected 12 goals and three assists in 40 appearances across all competitions. Pulisic celebrated his teammate’s contract extension with an Instagram story, where he shared the club’s official statement, adding his own comment: “Well deserved. Both Pulisic and Reijnders joined Milan in 2023 for a similar transfer fee, circa €20m. Reijnders joined…
Thibaut Courtois—6: Did not had much to do to prevent Julian Alvarez’s strike. Otherwise a routine night—the Belgian was not really tested. Federico Valverde—8: One of his best performances for Real Madrid. Found the brilliant pass for Rodrygo’s goal and was an iron-man in defence. Raul Asencio—6: Neither spectacular nor underwhelming. Did not see him try many long balls from the deep. Antonio Rudiger—6: Solid game from the Gemran but anticipation could have been better as Atletico stitched more than one quality sequence from his side of the pitch. Ferland Mendy—6.5: Assisted Brahim’s goal and was much better on the…

The veteran spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos, where he appeared in 144 games. He won Super Bowl 50 with the organization.

Bam Adebayo has become the Miami Heat franchise leader in double-doubles after securing the feat for the 222nd time against the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Adebayo, who was selected by the Heat as the No. 14 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, surpassed Rony Seikaly‘s mark of 221. Seikaly was in the building to see Adebayo cross the threshold. “I’m so glad to get that record out the way. I’ve been trying to break that record for the past three games and it’s just like the rebounds were just not falling my way. It was just a special…
