Cesc Fabregas has indicated that Dele Alli is not yet in line to play for Como as the coach insisted he is only training with the Serie A side. The former Tottenham and England star has been training with the Italian club since last month as he looks to return to match fitness and make his return to the game. The 28-year-old has been without a club since leaving Everton in the summer and has not played a competitive match since February 2023. His arrival at Como sparked hope that he could join Fabregas’s men in their bid to stay…
Saturday’s match could be season-defining as both sides look to make their push for a Champions League spot. This weekend’s match between Juventus and AC Milan feels like a must-win for both sides. Two of Italy’s traditional powerhouses find themselves under pressure, and their hopes of achieving season goals may hinge on this match. Milan will face an added challenge with American star Christian Pulisic ruled out of the fixture. Both teams have had inconsistent campaigns, leaving little room for further missteps. Juventus remain unbeaten but have been held back by a string of draws, sitting fifth in Serie A.…
Former Barcelona and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who now works in the capacity of an advisor at AC Milan – has hit back at Cristiano Ronaldo after the latter claimed the Saudi Pro League was superior to Ligue 1. Ibrahimovic finally called time on his illustrious career and subsequently hung up his boots in the summer of 2023 and played for some of Europe’s top clubs – including French top tier side Paris Saint-Germain between 2012 and 2016. And, as such, the Malmo-born figure has jumped to the support of Ligue 1 after it got caught in the…
AC Milan will face Juventus for the third time this season tonight at the Allianz Stadium in what is a big clash in the pursuit of the Champions League places. The two teams played out a very dull and drab 0-0 draw earlier this season at San Siro, but in Sergio Conceicao’s first game in charge it was Milan who celebrated victory in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final earlier in the month. Juve took the lead through Kenan Yildiz’s powerful shot to cap a rapid counter-attack, before Pulisic equalised from the spot after winning the penalty then Yunus Musah’s cross took…
AC Milan have decided to go for Kyle Walker over Marcus Rashford, and that will also see their main forward target pivot as a result. This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) is reporting that Walker is ‘one step away’ from joining the Rossoneri and he will ‘almost certainly’ arrive. They suggest that the formula will be a €1m loan with an option to buy set at €5m, rather than a permanent deal now. What it means – given that Milan can only register one English player this window – is that Joao Felix’s stock is soaring.…
In the past few days the media have spoken about a choice between Kyle Walker and Marcus Rashford, and AC Milan seem to have made their decision. Reports emerged yesterday suggesting that Milan are closing in on an agreement to sign Walker, who has made it known that he wishes to leave Manchester City after several successful years there to try something new. This morning, some further updates have arrived, starting with one from Fabrizio Romano. He states that Milan ‘received the initial green light’ from Walker to join, with more contacts scheduled ‘in the next 24/48 hours’ to get…
Sergio Conceicao made more interesting declarations after AC Milan’s narrow win over Como last night, a game they had to come from behind in. Conceicao has already made it perfectly clear during his first two weeks as the coach of Milan that he will not be frightened of speaking his mind, such as when he labelled the first half against Cagliari the worst of his managerial career. Given that the Rossoneri had to come from a goal down to beat relegation-threatened Como, he cannot be totally satisfied with how the game last night went either. The team showed good spirit…
Francesco Camarda’s position at AC Milan was quite prominent under Paulo Fonseca, but with a new man now at the helm, he could see his minutes fall. Before and during the Fonseca era, Camarda was a heavily featured name. People originally questioned if the Portuguese would be the one to give the striker the next step in his journey, and after his appointment, the starlet was consistent in the Milan team. He began training with the senior team relatively early into Fonseca’s tenure, and minutes followed shortly after. Despite getting close to scoring, Camarda was not able to take the…
Alex Jimenez has found himself a regular starter at AC Milan over the past few games, but things could have been very different for the Spaniard. As TMW report, just month ago Milan left-back Alex Jimenez ‘seemed destined to leave’ Milan because he was struggling for playing time under Paulo Fonseca. Theo Hernandez is obviously the starter but even when he couldn’t play Filippo Terracciano was chosen. However, Fonseca chose to play Jimenez when benching Theo and the results were positive, so much so that even when the Portuguese was replaced by his compatriot Sergio Conceicao he has kept his…
AC Milan are looking to make a star signing in the January mercato involving out-of-favour Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford. It is difficult to assess a potential move for Rashford because it will only go one of two ways. Either Milan will get a world-beater, or the Rossoneri will spend fortunes on the player that has struggled to refind that player. Football, after all, is about balancing risk and reward, but it seems that the club believe that the opportunity presented to them is far too great to not consider strongly. Yesterday, an exploratory meeting took place with the Englishman’s…
