Milan’s record in that time is 84 wins, 63 draws and 53 defeats, and a +57 goal difference.

Although the January mercato has just shut, AC Milan are already making considerations for the summer mercato, and they have their primary target listed.

New Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic still isn’t sure why the Dallas Mavericks traded him. “They made a decision. I don’t know why,” Doncic said Tuesday in his introductory press conference, according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. Doncic also said that he is “taking the high road” regarding some of the comments from the Mavericks’ front office about the trade, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
