Cesare Casadei could well be heading for a return back to his home country but it seems as though AC Milan are no longer in the running. As Daniele Longo writes for Calciomercato.com, the goal for the January transfer window for Chelsea is to thin out the squad and send some players out to get more playing time, and this applies to Casadei. Chelsea believe a lot in his qualities and are banking on him for the future, but the issue at the moment is that in the 4-2-3-1 system it is Enzo Fernandez and Moisés Caicedo who are practically…
AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has spoken about the process of buying the club and how he has found his first couple of years in charge. Cardinale’s name has been in the headlines a fair bit recently, given his absence from the 125th anniversary celebrations and the fact that fans protested by telling him to sell the club. Not only that, but there has been a change to the vendor loan terms. After reports circulated in the media suggesting a possible refinancing, it was announced on Friday that the repayment deadline has been pushed back to 2028. The RedBird Capital…
After dealing with several absences last night, the situation will be a lot better for Paulo Fonseca against Roma next weekend. For the game after that, the Supercoppa Italiana against Juventus, it could be even better. The likes of Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata and Yunus Musah were missing from the squad yesterday, with Fonseca forced to play Filippo Terracciano in the midfield. It ended up being quite a good move, as Tijjani Reijnders scored the winner from the No.10 position. As reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), three players will be back from injury for…
Paulo Fonseca was able to breathe a sigh of relief as AC Milan collected all three points in their game against Hellas Verona on Friday evening. However, as Daniele Longo reports, the faith from the management is decreasing. Just like the 0-0 draw against Genoa, it was a poor display by the Rossoneri and individual brilliance was needed to break the deadlock. Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders provided that, but the rest of the game was certainly dull with an XG of just 0.84 for the Rossoneri. According to Daniele Longo, writing for Calciomercato.com, Fonseca managed to rescue his position…
Davide Calabria’s contract will expire at the end of the season and it doesn’t look like he will renew. As such, AC Milan could part ways with their captain in January and Como have reportedly opened talks. Since the signing of Emerson Royal, Calabria has struggled to get consistent playing time and injury struggles have also played a part in this. There is little doubt, however, that Paulo Fonseca prefers the Brazilian over the captain of the team. Calabria’s contract will expire in the summer and it has been known for quite some time that it won’t be renewed. As…
Alex Jimenez has left an impression in his first couple of Serie A starts, and AC Milan are looking to renegotiate the terms of the deal with Real Madrid. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, Jimenez was once again one of Milan’s best players during the win over Verona on Friday, as he was in his debut with the first team against Genoa. The Spaniard is perhaps the brightest spot in a troubled period for the Rossoneri. After an excellent start to the season with Milan Futuro, which allowed him to gain experience in the professional…
Paulo Fonseca has now settled on a centre-back pairing after a lot of experimentation, but naturally that means disappointment for some too. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was present at the unveiling of Strahinja Pavlovic in August, introducing him as follows: “He’s an animal. We did everything to bring him here. He will enter the hearts of the fans. Just look at him and you’re scared.” Four months later, however, that animal that was supposed to instill fear in opponents has become a reserve. By not playing against Verona, the number of consecutive games on the bench…
Since returning to AC Milan more than 12 months ago, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has had his fair share of criticism, and today, he has spoken about his job in detail. New information about Ibrahimovic’s role, power and ideas are consistently coming out as Milan find themselves in different situations and as was the case in the summer, it seems the Swede will be the key man in the upcoming mercato. In addition to this, Ibrahimovic could find himself being decisive in the future of the head coach. Despite Paulo Fonseca not being under the spotlight yet, he is very close to…
The former AC Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo shared his thoughts on RedBird refinancing the vendor loan with Elliott live on Sky Italia last night. Echoing the thoughts of many fans, he believes there is currently great uncertainty. Gerry Cardinale was under some pressure to get a solution in place, with a lack of new investors and the loan expiring in August 2025. However, a few hours before Verona-Milan, the Rossoneri and RedBird announced that the loan had been refinanced until 2028. Sky Italia was live with the pre-match coverage at the time and Riccardo Montolivo, the former Milan captain, was…
Christian Pulisic’s contract extension with AC Milan is almost a done deal as ‘Captain America’ continues to trend upwards in the one of the fashion captials of the world. When fully fit, the USMNT winger has been an undisputed key player for the Italian giants, first under Stefano Pioli and now under Paulo Fonseca. His performances have been so outstanding that Premier League clubs have considered taking him back to England. However, Milan aren’t entertaining any offers for their star man. Pulisic will stay with the Rossoneri until 2029, barring any surprises. How much Premier League clubs would have to…
