According to what is reported by Il Corriere della Sera in this morning’s print edition, the January transfeer market window brings five important signings to reinforce Sergio Conceicao’s AC Milan team. It is the Rossoneri club’s executives way, perhaps, to renounce the mistakes made in the summer. Now, the goal is to fix those past errors on the pitch with positive results and try to secure a Champions League qualification for next season. The derby left positive impressions for the media and Milan fans, especially in terms of attitude (despite conceding the equalizer in the last moments of the match),…

AC Milan managed to get a late deal over the line for Riccardo Sottil with Fiorentina, it has been confirmed, and he will join on loan with an option to buy. It came as a bit of a shock yesterday when Matteo Moretto announced that Milan and Fiorentina have reached an agreement for Sottil over a paid loan with an option to buy set at around €10m. Things went somewhat quiet after that initial breaking news, but then with less than a couple of hours of the window remaining things accelerated again towards a conclusion. Fabrizio Romano gave the operation…

The fallout from the Dallas Mavericks trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers just won’t hover or linger around the franchise. It will stick to the Mavericks like a bad scent and what they do – and don’t do – will be seen through this prism: the Mavericks traded a 25-year-old five-time All-NBA guard who is one of the top-five players in the world and has not entered his prime seasons. They made three questionable choices. They decided they can’t win a title with Doncic. They didn’t want to give him a five-year, $345 million extension. They returned…

Let this year be a reminder that no matter how dry a trade deadline may seem, it can flip in a mere instant. Just a week ago, fans were wondering if any deals were going to happen, and if they were, the biggest names being shipped were possibly going to be Zach LaVine or DeAndre Ayton, not legitimate MVP candidates like we ended up seeing with Luka Doncic on the move. While that move was obviously enormous, it may not even be the biggest deal of the year. Teams like the Golden State Warriors are plotting, scheming, calling every GM…

Anthony Davis is a four-time first-team All-NBA selection, a three-time pick for the All-Defensive team, an NBA champion. He’s averaging 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game in this NBA season, a month before his 32nd birthday. And despite his credentials, Dallas Mavericks fans and others Sunday morning were left wondering why their team would acquire Davis if it meant giving up Luka Doncic, a dynamic scorer who led the league with 33.9 points per game last season and has been named All-NBA five seasons in a row.

AC Milan are now unbeaten in three against Inter, with the latest instalment of the Derby della Madonnina ending a 1-1 draw. Confidence going into the derby was quite high considering the results so far this season, and despite everything happening off the pitch, Milan entered the game in quite a settled state with the Nerazzurri failing to really threaten much. Despite a few offside goals in the first 45, it was the Rossoneri who actually took the lead, with Tijjani Reijnders once again popping up in the box when Milan needed him most – a tale on repeat this…

Meeting in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, AC Milan and Roma will aim to shake off their Serie A woes and secure a semi-final spot on Wednesday. After both took part in high-profile games with a dramatic finale last weekend, the pair convene at San Siro for a midweek cup clash. A month on from their five-goal thriller in Riyadh, Milan and city rivals Inter Milan met for a more conventional Derby della Madonnina on Sunday, with the Rossoneri aiming to beat their old foes for the third time this season. Indeed, Sergio Conceicao’s side came within a whisker of doing…

The NBA world suffered a seismic shift Saturday night as the Los Angeles Lakers traded Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks. The team that lost to the Boston Celtics in last year’s NBA Finals traded their assumed franchise player for nine-time All-Star in Davis, and the basketball world was/is in a frenzy. Well, everyone except for Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla. In the usual bluntness he brings to press conferences, Mazzulla followed suit in Sunday’s pregame press conference ahead of his team’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. As he sat down to begin fielding questions from reporters,…

No matter what happens in Kalen DeBoer’s encore season at Alabama, remember that he did not add a transfer quarterback. That’s not a criticism. Not yet, anyway. For now, it’s just a fact. Considering how few meaningful snaps Ty Simpson played throughout three seasons as an Alabama backup, most evaluation of him must come from what he does in practice. And, apparently, DeBoer saw enough to determine Simpson would fare better atop Alabama’s quarterback competition than one of the quarterbacks the Tide could have secured from the transfer portal. Let DeBoer be judged on how that evaluation pans out. Quarterback…
