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.…
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…
The top four train is very close to leaving without AC Milan, and that makes tonight’s game against Bologna a do-or-die. Bologna-Milan was originally meant to be played at the end of October, but the game ended up being postponed due to risk of flooding in what actually ended up being quite a farcical situation in the end. Fast-forward to the end of February, and the game has a lot more meaning now than it might have done then. The Rossoneri are eight points behind Juventus in fourth and this is the game in hand, so a win is needed…
Nicolo Schira reports that Barcelona have shown interest in AC Milan’s forward Rafael Leao, inquiring about his availability. While no formal negotiations or bids have been made, the Catalan club is monitoring the Portuguese international’s situation closely. Leao, who renewed his contract with Milan in June 2023, is committed to the Rossoneri until 2028, with a release clause set at €175 million. In January, Leao reportedly declined a lucrative offer from a Saudi Arabian club, reaffirming his dedication to Milan. Despite his contractual commitment, recent reports suggest that Barcelona are keen on bolstering their attacking options and view Leao as…
Alexis Saelemaekers has become a driving force at Roma just as he was in the second part of last season with Bologna, and AC Milan have taken note. As Calciomercato.com report, Saelemaekers has evolved from all points of view – tactically, technically and characteristically – to become a player who can make a difference at a club like Roma where there has been a lot of pressure this season. Against Monza he scored his fifth goal of the season with a lovely curling shot from the left wing, and with 12 games still to go, this is already the best…
Los Angeles Lakers All-Star LeBron James is playing the best basketball of the season, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by The Ringer’s Bill Simmons. After James surpassed Ray Allen on the 3-point list, he took a leap in Simmons’ player rankings for an impressive run throughout February. LeBron finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in the Lakers’ 107-99 win against the Dallas Mavericks, which marks the seventh performance he’s scored 25+ points this month. Simmons recognized James for his effort on both ends of the floor. This effort, coupled with teaming up with Lakers superstar Luka…
Milan are performing a few tactical experiments in training ahead of tomorrow’s rescheduled Serie A trip to Bologna, including the so-called Fantastic Four. The Week 9 fixture was originally planned for October, but called off due to flood warnings in the area around the Stadio Dall’Ara. It will instead kick off on Thursday at 19.45 GMT and finds both teams currently tied together on 41 points in seventh and eighth place. Milan go into the match without injured Kyle Walker, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Emerson Royal and Alessandro Florenzi. However, Florenzi was spotted on the team bus making the trip to Bologna,…
This evening, Milan is called to victory, especially if it wants to continue fueling its European dreams. Losing or drawing, on the other hand, would further complicate this matter, also because Juventus would pull even further ahead in the standings, and making up 8 points in 12 matchdays could prove to be anything but simple. After the harsh defeat in Turin, a jolt is needed—a Champions League-level jolt—with Sergio Conceição ready to rely on those who have been most targeted by criticism not just in recent weeks, but throughout the entire season. In fact, Il Corriere dello Sport writes this…
AC Milan are experiencing a complicated period made up of various individual issues, and one of them concerns what to do with Joao Felix. Milan found themselves distant from the top four places and thus they decided to intervene during the winter transfer window, bringing in Kyle Walker, Santiago Gimenez, Warren Bondo, Riccardo Sottil and of course Felix too. As Calciomercato.com recall, the Portuguese forward arrived on loan from Chelsea and – despite scoring a goal on his debut in a 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Roma – the needle on the balance of his time so far remains on…
Will it be a case of better late than never? Thursday night will yield the answer as AC Milan travel to face Bologna in the rescheduled Serie A clash. Milan have found themselves in a position where they can barely afford any more mistakes if they are to get into the top four, and that starts with the match at the Stadio Renato dall’Ara against a side also hoping for a late surge. Sergio Conceicao did not speak to the media in a pre-match press conference. While he has skipped them sometimes due to limited time there did see to…
