Rafael Leao has been linked with several big clubs over the years, including Barcelona, and the Catalan side could make a new attempt in the summer. Especially if AC Milan were to miss out on the Champions League, as a report claims. Leao has 9 goals and 8 assists for Milan this season but most would agree that there have been too many ups and downs. It’s a debate that remains very complex even among the Rossoneri fans, as we covered in the latest edition of Pub Chat. In any case, as the quality is undeniable, the winger has been…
On-loan to June from Manchester City, the veteran fullback is already happily settled in Milan. And the feeling is mutual, as far as club management is concerned. Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira is reporting: “Kyle Walker is satisfied with his first weeks at AC Milan. “He would like to stay at Milan, which are ready to sign him from ManchesterCity on a permanent deal. Rossoneri have an option to buy (€5M) and could trigger it, but they could also ask to MCFC a little discount.”
Mikel Arteta recently conceded that Arsenal might be considering a free agent to address their striker issues – a move not entirely unfamiliar for the Gunners. The 42-year-old manager finds himself in a tricky situation after Kai Havertz sustained a hamstring injury during Arsenal’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai. The former Chelsea forward joins Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the Arsenal injury list. Against Leicester City, Mikel Merino, who was brought in from Real Sociedad to push Declan Rice and Thomas Partey in midfield, scored twice when Arteta deployed him up front. While the Spaniard shone against…
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is backing midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu to improve his condition ahead of today’s Derby d’Italia clash with Juventus. The coach spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews, ahead of the match. Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has been back in action since the start of February. The Turk made his return to the pitch after missing much of January through injury. First, a hamstring problem, and then a calf strain. Naturally, it has taken Calhanoglu some time to get back to his best. The 31-year-old was certainly showing some rust in Serie A outings against the likes…
Boston Celtics legend and Hall of Famer Ray Allen named the greatest player of all time and stated that a big part of LeBron James’ game comes from him. Ray Allen, one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, solidified his legacy with the Boston Celtics as a key member of their 2008 championship team. Known for his lightning-quick release and clutch shooting, Allen was an integral part of the legendary “Big Three” alongside Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, helping redefine the modern three-point era.

Despite Joao Felix not playing much at Chelsea this season before his loan move to AC Milan, there is a recognition among supporters that the forward has a lot of talent and had more to offer during the current campaign. However, Milan’s reported desire to buy the forward could help the Blues to land one of their transfer targets, who is a very good one. Felix could depart Chelsea for good before the end of June. The 25-year-old has not even been at Stamford Bridge for a year, but he is far from Enzo Maresca‘s thinking at the moment. Left-back…
Arrigo Sacchi believes that the “Serie A title race is far from over” even if Inter Milan are to beat Juventus this evening. The legendary former AC Milan and Italy coach emphasized in his column in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, that Napoli will be in the hunt no matter what. Inter Milan will have been pleased with yesterday’s result at the Stadio Olimpico. Napoli drew their third straight match in Serie A. As with their last visit to the Italian capital, they conceded late to drop points. That slip-up by Inter’s main title…

The Giallorossi ownership has sided with the coach, the team and the fans, expressing their disappointment with the contested decisions in the Europa League match. In the coming days, the club will send a formal letter of protest to UEFA, to highlight the refereeing errors that influenced the match. The club is also awaiting developments regarding a possible suspension of Ranieri for the comments made in the post-match.
As is often the case these days, the officiating ended up in the spotlight during AC Milan’s game against Hellas Verona last night. The former referee and expert Luca Marelli believes the Bentegodi side should have been reduced to ten men. It was in the 59th minute that Alexi Jimenez made his way down the right flank. He continued into the box but his cross was blocked by Ondrej Duda who, after the ball went out of play, slapped the Spaniard at the back of his head/on the neck. Naturally, the Milan full-back got upset and perhaps showed a bit…
The clock is ticking for the Pittsburgh Steelers to figure out who will start at quarterback next season. It was March of 2024, not long before the NFL Draft, when they acquired two quarterbacks who would start for them the following season in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The season didn’t end how the Steelers hoped it would, however. Now that both Wilson and Fields are free agents, the Steelers are heading back to the wishing well to try and figure out who will bear the responsibility of trying to lead Pittsburgh to its first playoff win since 2016. Will…
