AC Milan are already laying the groundwork for their summer transfer strategy, with a focus on strengthening the Italian core of their squad. Recent developments suggest significant progress in their pursuit of Samuele Ricci, the 23-year-old Torino midfielder who has emerged as the Rossoneri’s primary target for June. Calciomercato report that the Milan management has been actively working on this deal in recent days, taking concrete steps towards securing the Italian international for the 2025/26 season. While not an immediate reinforcement for January, Ricci is seen as a key addition for the upcoming campaign. Discussions regarding personal terms are already…
Noah Okafor’s time at AC Milan may be coming to an end as the club engages in negotiations with RB Leipzig regarding a potential transfer. The Swiss forward, who has struggled to make a significant impact this season, scoring only one goal in 550 minutes across 16 appearances, is viewed as a surplus by the Rossoneri’s management. Following the arrival of new coach Rui Costa, Okafor’s prospects at Milan have not improved. He was not a preferred choice for the previous manager and is now considered expendable by the current coaching staff. Relovo report how, In light of this, Milan…
Theo Hernandez was one of the goalscorers in AC Milan’s heroic 3-2 win over Inter this evening, kickstarting the comeback with a free-kick. After the game, he shared his thoughts on lifting the Supercoppa Italiana trophy. Hernandez has been heavily criticised in recent months for his performances but tonight, he was brilliant. In our player ratings, he was handed an 8/10 – the highest score along with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao – and clearly showed his old self. Speaking to Mediaset after the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, he admitted that it’s been a difficult time but that he’s…
In the past few days, it has been suggested that Fikayo Tomori will not leave AC Milan in the January mercato, despite Juventus’ persistence, and the Bianconeri are not done yet. Under Paulo Fonseca, Tomori’s Milan chapter had been written, and his next chapter was seemingly in black and white with a deal progressing positively between the two clubs. However, with the Portuguese’s sacking, any possible deal stalled. Sergio Conceicao reportedly wanted to make his own assessments of the squad and with Tomori playing both games in the Supercoppa, the Englishman may have been given a chance to restart his…
Rafael Leao returned to the field for AC Milan with a bang yesterday in the Supercoppa Italiana final against Inter, but he still faces critics. In the leadup to the Supercoppa, it was touch and go whether the Portuguese winger would be able to feature in either game after his injury against Hellas Verona before Christmas. As the first game against Juventus approached, it became clear that the winger was not going to feature, despite the best efforts of everyone, and it seemed that a similar situation was awaiting Milan for the final. Reports before the derby suggested that the…
There have been growing calls for Juventus to replace Thiago Motta, just six months into his tenure as manager. The former midfielder joined the club as one of the most promising coaches in Europe, with Juventus confident they had secured the right man to lead them forward. However, coaching Juventus is an entirely different challenge from managing a team like Bologna, and this season has been marked by mediocrity for the Bianconeri. At top clubs like Juventus, results are paramount, and managers often face the ultimate consequence when expectations are not met. As one of the most prestigious clubs in…
It’s been a chaotic 10 days for AC Milan to say the least. Paulo Fonseca was sacked and Sergio Conceicao was appointed the very next day, yet he has already found success. With a couple of days to prepare for the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Juventus, the pressure was not really on Milan. Nevertheless, they won 2-1 after going behind initially. The real test, if the Rossoneri made it there, was always going to be in the final, against a very strong Inter side that dismantled Atalanta to reach the final. With Rafael Leao not fully ready following his injury…
Alexis Saelemaekers has had a decent start to life at AS Roma, and the Roman club are considering asking AC Milan about a permanent deal already. It has not been a fantastic season for Saelemaekers, simply because he has struggled for minutes due to injury in the opening part of the season. However, in recent weeks he has been a shining point in Claudio Ranieri’s team. With four contributions, including a goal and an assist in the Rome derby this weekend, in his last four games, there is a desire to keep him at the club according to Gazzetta dello…
Former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi is ‘even more angry’ with Rafael Leao after the Portuguese’s ‘exceptional’ display against Inter in the Supercoppa Final. The Portuguese returned from an injury and was a game-changer in Milan’s 3-2 win over Inter in the Supercoppa Final. The Rossoneri recovered from two goals down after the Portuguese was introduced as a substitute in the second half, and Leao provided the assist for Tammy Abraham’s late winner. Sacchi admitted that Milan deserved to beat their city rivals: “It was an even game, but the Rossoneri put in that bit of extra wickedness,” the former Italian…
AC Milan won the Supercoppa Italiana with a dramatic 3-2 victory against Inter in Saudi Arabia on Monday night. A fantastic start to a new era. In the lead-up to the game, Sergio Conceicao was quite open about his ambition to win the Supercoppa, stating he had confidence about his team’s chances to bring home the trophy. Two Inter goals on either side of the half-time interval quickly caused a bit of worry amongst Milan supporters, but things very quickly changed. In the 50th minute, the Portuguese looked to his bench and brought Rafael Leao onto the pitch, and within…
