There are no signs at the moment that Davide Calabria will renew his contract at AC Milan and as a result the management are looking around for potential replacements, a report claims. According to the latest from Calciomercato.com, there are no encouraging signals at present which suggest that the 11 year bond between Calabria and the Rossoneri will be renewed, in fact a separation by the end of the season ‘seems increasingly likely’. This is why Milan are looking for a right-back even after the arrival of Emerson Royal during the summer transfer window. The mission for Geoffrey Moncada and his…
AC Milan’s decision to hire Paulo Fonseca during the summer as Stefano Pioli’s replacement was met with a mixed reaction, and that divide continues to exist in the second international break. When Pioli departed after nearly half a decade at the helm, many presumed that the Milan management believed it was the right time to take the ‘next step’ in their project, hiring a head coach that would be a big name and an indisputable upgrade. In actual fact, the names that floated around in orbit were never really that. Julen Lopetegui looked like arriving before a fan protest put a…
Stefano Pioli’s agent has explained how he ended up as the head coach of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr having left AC Milan at the end of last season. Valerio Giuffrida – together with his brother Gabriele and their agency GG11 – was one of the most active agents during the last summer transfer window, given they boast the likes of Albert Gudmundsson, Maduka Okoye and Hamed Traoré as clients. The brothers are also involved the intermediation of big names such as David De Gea, Artem Dovbyk and Vitinha who made moves during the mercato that ended a few weeks ago.…
The father-agent of Tijjani Reijnders has revealed that Barcelona were interested in signing him, but he is happy that in the end his son chose to join AC Milan. Reijnders arrived at Milan in the summer of 2023 on a permanent basis from AZ Alkmaar for around €20m after a long negotiation, and he has since established himself as one of the players that Stefano Pioli and now Paulo Fonseca cannot do without. Every now and again during his time with the Rossoneri, it is mentioned that Barcelona were in for him at the same time but the 26-year-old chose a…
Paulo Fonseca has so far used quite a restricted group of starters during his time at AC Milan so far, leading to suggestions that there is a clear split on the squad between those players and the reserved. This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) has a segment with the headline: ‘Fonseca’s forgotten. Milan split’. It explains how in this first part of the season Fonseca has almost always focused on the same players, especially in the last few weeks when he has practically always fielded the same line-up. Among those who have momentarily disappeared from the Portuguese coach’s radar are…
The Dallas Mavericks lost their Thursday night preseason contest against the Utah Jazz by a score of 107-102, as the Mavericks and head coach Jason Kidd are still tinkering with a variety of different lineups ahead of the start of the regular season. Thursday marked the debut for Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving in Dallas’ lineup this season though, as they didn’t play in the first game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to rest. Monitoring the workload of two of your star players on the wrong side of 30 years old is completely understandable from the Mavericks’ perspective, so it’s not surprising…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was ‘knocked over’ with ‘ease’ by his then-Milan teammate Oguchi Onyewu in a notorious fight that broke up during a training session more than 10 years ago, as revealed by Alexandro Pato in an interview. The ex-Brazilian striker was also in the Rossoneri’s squad back then and was among the witness of a brawl that only ended when players yelled at the former American defender, urging him to stop as he was going to ‘kill’ Ibrahimovic. The battle between the two took place in November 2011, in a season that would see Milan’s Massimiliano Allegri go on to win…
Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs watching Brazil international Igor Jesus with the Botafogo ace scoring on his Selecao debut on Thursday night. But TBR can confirm that Igor Jesus has been on the radar of clubs on the other side of the Atlantic for a while already, with Premier League challengers Arsenal one of those who have been keeping a very close eye on his development in South America. Igor Jesus has seven goals in 19 Botafogo appearances so far this season. And, after his impressive form earned him a place in the Brazil…

As is the case for every player, on Rafael Leao’s day, there are few wingers better than him in the world. Unfortunately, AC Milan have not seen the star’s ‘day’ as often as required, and there are questions about whether he can become a great at the club. The debate about Leao is ongoing. Many believe he still can be the next player to enter the list of Milan icons, whilst others believe that he should be sold whilst his value remains at its peak. He is certainly a polarising figure. This is where the frustration comes in. Whichever camp…
