Fenerbahce are reportedly targeting a high-profile addition to their squad in the form of Chelsea’s Joao Felix, with Jose Mourinho leading the charge. The Portuguese coach is reportedly playing an active role in convincing his compatriot to make the move to Istanbul as Felix, struggling for playing time at Chelsea, looks for a fresh start to revive his career. Joao Felix was among the most coveted youngsters in the world when he made a $130 million move to Atletico Madrid in 2019 but has endured a difficult period at Chelsea since his recent move. After joining the Premier League giants…
AC Milan have had an offer for Flamengo’s right-back Wesley rejected, according to a report, and will have to come up if they want to secure the player this month. Emerson Royal’s struggles in the right-back role have been evident for everyone, and even if he has improved lately, the exit rumours are far from surprising. At the same time, Davide Calabria is expected to leave the club, so Milan have started looking at potential right-back signings. According to the Brazilian outlet Globo, the Rossoneri have even placed a €20m bid for Flamengo’s right-back Wesley. However, the offer was immediately…
AC Milan have set their sights on Borussia Dortmund’s Almugera Kabar for the left-back position, according to a report. Indeed, they are expected to make an attempt this month to sign the youngster. As Theo Hernandez has struggled on the left this season, lacking the consistency needed, Milan have been linked with various left-back deputies in recent months. While Alex Jimenez has done well in the role in the meantime, his preferred position is on the right. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan have a strong interest in Dortmund’s Almugera Kabar, who is just 18 years old. He has made…
Paulo Fonseca has been relieved of his duties as AC Milan’s head coach after what has unfortunately shaped into a disastrous first half of the season. The Rossoneri have acted decisively, appointing Sergio Conceição as his successor in an attempt to salvage their campaign and restore faith among an increasingly disillusioned fanbase. But just what were the reasons for making such a sudden change, given that the announcement of the new coach came just a few hours after the statement confirming Fonseca’s exit? Choppy, inconsistent performances Fonseca was brought in to build upon the solid foundation laid by Stefano Pioli,…
In a surprising turn of events, AC Milan staged a remarkable comeback against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final, setting the stage for an all-Milan final against Inter. Former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi shared his thoughts on the match with La Gazzetta dello Sport, explaining the impact of new manager Sergio Conceicao. An Unexpected Turnaround “Who would have thought it at the end of the first half? Certainly not me,” Sacchi admitted. “After the interval, I was convinced that Juventus would defend their lead and then extend it. Instead, the story suddenly changed. This is part of football. I would…
The transfer market is full of surprises, and one of the most recent ones affects one of the most sought-after players at the moment. In recent weeks, there was much speculation about Rafael Leão’s future, who seemed to have everything ready to sign for Barça. However, everything has taken an unexpected turn. In recent weeks, the news that Leão could join Barça seemed closer than ever. Rumors pointed to an almost closed deal and Barça fans were already imagining Leão wearing their jersey. The transfer of the Portuguese striker was seen as a great addition to Hansi Flick’s team. Unexpected…
Sergio Conceicao admits he got ‘angry’ with Milan at half-time before the Supercoppa Italiana comeback against Juventus. ‘I am not here to make friends, I am here to win.’ It was the perfect debut for the new boss, who had only been appointed on Monday after the surprise dismissal of Paulo Fonseca and was suffering from flu symptoms giving him a high fever. Kenan Yildiz had opened the scoring for Juventus in Riyadh and there seemed to be few real chances for the Rossoneri until Christian Pulisic was brought down by Manuel Locatelli and converted the resulting penalty. Just four…
Arrigo Sacchi has admitted that he was a big fan of Sergio Conceicao’s Porto team, but believes it will be harder for him to replicate it with AC Milan. It has been a chaotic last few days at Milan to say the least, and the club will go into 2025 with a new head coach in charge. Reports emerged before the Roma game that Milan were about to sack Paulo Fonseca, and he was replaced just hours later by his compatriot. Having left Porto at the end of last season, Conceicao has been out of work since, perhaps a surprise…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a player has a special place in the hearts of AC Milan fans for over a decade, but he is under a new-found scrutiny now he is behind a desk. Ibrahimovic and Paolo Maldini’s return signified a new and positive era for the club, a quick rise from 2020-23, restoring a directionless but of course huge and historic club in such a short amount of time. Yet it all seems to be crumbling just as fast. From transfer market decisions to technical decisions, and so on. It seems that Zlatan’s role with the club is rather unexplainable.…
Question: It seems that Jackson Holliday has had enough at-bats to make me concerned! Do you think the Orioles might have a short leash on him in 2025? From: Chris Knez Answer: Chris, I don’t think you should be concerned about Jackson Holliday. At 20, he was extremely young for a major leaguer last season, and he’ll still be extremely young at 21. Colton Cowser had a rough beginning to his major league career in 2023, and he was much better in 2024. I think the same will happen with Holliday. In fact, Holliday was 7-for-19 (.368) in the last two weeks of the…
