Santiago Gimenez has revealed that Luka Modric gave all his new AC Milan team-mates a gift instead of having to sing an initiation song. Modric’s arrival on a free transfer from Real Madrid was greeted with a lot of excitement and rightly so, given what he has won in his professional career, including a Ballon d’Or. He has been placed quite literally in the centre of Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical plans as the middle piece of a three-man midfield, and he has continued to play at an elite level despite being 40. Many team-mates have already spoken of his human qualities…

Above all, Real Madrid are undecided whether to focus on him or another free agent, Liverpool’s Ibrahima…
Luka Modric has stressed a desire to win with AC Milan, who he believes are the perfect club for him to be at in the present moment. Modric has rightly garnered huge praise since his arrival in the summer on a free transfer from Real Madrid. He has been placed quite literally in the centre of Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical plans, as the deepest midfielder in a 3-5-2 system, and he has continued to play at an elite level. The recent game against Fiorentina is a brilliant example of this. Despite having no Adrien Rabiot next to him, the 40-year-old had…
Next summer, Luka Modric could have his stay at AC Milan extended, thanks to a pre-agreed clause in his contract. A masterstroke, it seems. The impact that Modric has had on Milan has been unexpected. Most thought he would be good; some may have doubted him. However, at 40 years old, he has been a revolution for Milan, and now the business in the mercato could forever change. Luck of 40 Age is just a number, and in fact, he looks much younger than what is shown on his birth certificate. In Serie A, he is making those much younger…
Serie A referee designator Gianluca Rocchi slammed Livio Marinelli for awarding a contentious penalty to AC Milan on Sunday night. During his brief interview with DAZN via FCInterNews, Rocchi delivered his verdict on a dubious call that decided the match against Fiorentina. Massimiliano Allegri’s side overhauled a second-half deficit in a controversial 2-1 home victory over La Viola. Indeed, the Rossoneri bounced back from a goal down as Rafael Leao netted a match-winning brace. However, Milan received decisive help from referee Livio Marinelli. Despite refusing to point to the spot at first glance, Marinelli changed his decision after consulting with…

According to Di Marzio, the Nigerian forward, who later joined Werder Bremen on loan, had travelled to Milan for his medicals but was sent back after the Serie A club conducted a detailed assessment of his physical condition. Speaking to Milan Vibes, Di Marzio explained that Milan was not blindsided by Boniface’s past injury record but chose to proceed cautiously before finalizing the deal. “With Boniface, Milan was…
Luka Modric, Milan’s world-class midfielder, is exceeding the most optimistic expectations at the start of his new life in the Rossoneri shirt. The former Real Madrid player appeared live this evening on TG1. He had a few words with the news presenter. Here are his statements: “Playing for Milan is the best thing right now. I’m in a great, historic club. The team has great talents and the coach is a winner. It’s a long journey, but I have big expectations.” “I came here to win. Returning to the Champions League is the minimum goal, but I hope to achieve…
AC Milan hope to have some recoveries this week, and this would allow a return to the starting XI for Santiago Gimenez. Whilst Gimenez was not part of the returning players who were injured on international duty, the Mexican was unfortunately a victim of the circumstances. As Massimiliano Allegri explained, starting the striker would have left him in a difficult position. “If I had you on the bench, maybe I would have started with Gimenez. Jokes aside, if I had started him, I wouldn’t have had any other striker on the bench.” So, the decision was taken to have him…
In Italy there are never half measures when it comes to young players. They are either immediately considered prodigies or “not good enough.” It is the typical, backward, moralizing mindset of those with a narrow view of talent, used to seeking solutions in players from abroad who might have the same qualities as those already at home but seem more appealing because of a few highlights on YouTube or word of mouth. The same kind of judgment process happened with Davide Bartesaghi, who in the last three calendar years moved from the Primavera to the First Team, after spending an…
The VAR ‘should not have intervened’ for the penalty awarded to AC Milan against Fiorentina, confirmed the Italian Referees’ Association, as footage reveals what was discussed. The incident caused a great deal of controversy and proved decisive for a 2-1 victory at San Siro on Sunday. Referee Livio Marinelli had initially let play continue after Fabiano Parisi had a hand on Santiago Gimenez’s shoulder, but changed his mind and awarded a penalty after he was called over for the On-Field Review. Many pundits noted that this was stretching ‘clear and obvious error’ to the absolute limit, and former referee Andrea…
