You’d struggle to find many European colossuses with a greater American influence than AC Milan. Milan signed their first American player in 2009 with the arrival of Oguchi Onyewu — he would make just one appearance across his 18-month spell before departing for Standard Liège. Sergiño Dest became the club’s second American player after joining on loan from FC Barcelona, making 14 appearances for the Rossoneri across the 2022/23 season. Milan would replenish the American contingent by signing not just one, but two US Men’s National Team players in the summer of 2023. Yunus Musah arrived from Valencia for €20…
The offseason narrative in Baltimore had some wrinkles to it. The Orioles made a significant payroll increase while still allowing their two high profile free agents to walk. The Birds attempted to compensate for the loss of Anthony Santander with Tyler O’Neill and Heston Kjerstad, but the front office failed to replace Corbin Burnes. The loss of Burnes could plague the Orioles throughout the season and into the playoffs, but only if the rotation struggles. Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez have the stuff to lead a pitching staff, and the Orioles have several other starters capable of delivering above-average seasons.…
The San Francisco 49ers are making significant changes to their roster this offseason. Their first priority was securing their starting QB. General Manager John Lynch confirmed Wednesday that the team has officially begun contract negotiations with Brock Purdy, solidifying their commitment to him as the franchise QB. At the same time, Lynch also acknowledged that star wide receiver Deebo Samuel is on his way out, signaling a major shift in the team’s offensive core. With Purdy now eligible for a second contract, the 49ers wasted no time initiating talks with his representatives. While Lynch didn’t reveal specifics, he made it…
The Los Angeles Lakers took care of business once again on Tuesday night, defeating the Dallas Mavericks in a drama-filled matchup that featured several storylines. It marked Luka Doncic’s first game against his former team, while the Lakers also honored Anthony Davis with a tribute video as he returned to L.A. for the first time since the trade. However, Doncic stole the show with an impressive triple-double, finishing with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, and two blocks. He became the first player in NBA history to record a triple-double with five steals/blocks in his first game against…
Roma want to add a top coach ahead of next season. With Claudio Ranieri set to step down from his current position and become a new senior club executive, Roma’s search for his successor is on. In today’s report, Sky Sport journalist Paolo Assogna shares the following update. According to Assogna, Ranieri made personal contact with Ajax’s Farioli – however, the discussions did not go beyond a simple conversation. Additionally, in recent weeks, a Giallorossi intermediary spoke with Massimiliano Allegri to understand the Tuscan coach’s intentions, but even in this case there have been no developments, at least for the moment. In…
Inter Milan beat Lazio 2-0 in their Coppa Italia quarter-final clash at the San Siro on Tuesday night to set up a semi-final tie against AC Milan. Marko Arnautovic and Hakan Calhanoglu were on the scoresheet as Simone Inzaghi toppled his former employers. As a result, Inter will contest the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the 30th time, with only Juventus bettering that record. The 35-year-old Austria international netted a stunning volley to break the deadlock late in the first half.
Mike Maignan’s recent performances have raised doubts regarding his renewal, and ironically his replacement could arrive from Lille. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, the Milan directors have been forced to ask themselves whether Maignan justifies a big pay rise given the mistakes that he has made in the past few weeks. Considering the value of the player and his importance in the dressing room – plus his status as the captain since Sergio Conceicao arrives – the answer to the question could be yes. Yet, his dip in form during 2025 has forced a pause for reflection. At…

Milan News, this evening, bring the probable team news, and there are a few changes possible. Mike Maignan is expected to remain in goal, and he will again be shielded by Alex Jimenez, Strahinja Pavlovic and Theo…
AC Milan are facing the realistic possibility of not having Champions League football in 2025-26, something that would cause economic damage. La Gazzetta dello Sport have published a report which outlines the overall difference between the first and second continental competition, i.e. the Europa League. The UEFA prize money – divided into participation fees, results and market pool – allocated overall to the current edition of the Champions League (and which will be valid for three years) amounts to €2.47bn. The Europa League has been allocated €565m, still €100m more than the previous three years (the Champions League prize fund…
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…
