MILAN, Italy — Once again, Christian Pulisic finds himself with something to prove at AC Milan. Maybe it shouldn’t be this way. He leads the Rossoneri in goal contributions with 12, after notching 20 last season behind only Olivier Giroud, who left for Major League Soccer in 2024. Off the ball, the U.S. international gets nothing but praise for his work rate and application. His former assistant coach calls him “one of the best professionals I worked with in my career.” Yet it was Pulisic who was the first player taken off the pitch on Tuesday night when Milan crashed…

The Repubblica newspaper drops the bombshell: The most serious case at Milan is that of Christian Pulisic. On the night in Zagreb, he had a face-to-face argument with head coach Sergio Conceicao, and from that moment, something broke. So much so that Captain America has requested a transfer: “Next year, either me or him,” was the message delivered to Milan. Another player struggling is Youssouf Fofana: he has not connected with the coach, who does not appear to be a great admirer of his. This is why he started from the bench on Tuesday.

Annie Kilner has jetted to Dubai with her children and enjoyed a night out with Wayne Rooney, rather than joining husband Kyle Walker at AC Milan. England international Walker finds himself in Italy after completing an initial loan transfer from Manchester City to San Siro.

Schools in the UK are enjoying a half-term break in February, allowing some winter sunshine to be sought. Kilner is among those to have headed off to warmer climes.…

Everything is fine,” Mancini said at a press conference on Wednesday via TMW. His contract runs out in 2027, and Mancini sees himself at Roma in the coming…

AC Milan senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic has defended his club’s transfer policy after the Rossoneri’s disappointing exit from the Champions League on Tuesday. Needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit from their playoff opening leg, 10-man Milan drew 1-1 at home to Feyenoord, meaning they were eliminated via a 2-1 aggregate loss. More had been expected from the Italian outfit, who completed five signings in the winter transfer window, including João Félix’s loan from Chelsea and the permanent addition of Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord. The Champions League was a goal for us so it’s a disappointment,” Ibrahimovic said. “We…

AC Milan’s Champions League journey came to an abrupt end last night as they were knocked out by Feyenoord, and there is predictably a large fall-out. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) recall, Zlatan Ibrahimovic expressed all his disappointment and regret after the full-time whistle, saying that if Milan did not qualify for the Champions League round of 16 it is their own fault. The Senior Advisor to RedBird Capital spoke of sporting suicide, and it would be accurate given that the red card Theo Hernandez received early in the second half completely changed the complexion of a tie that…
