Tension is rising between the Milan council and the San Donato council, according to a report, and this is making things more difficult for AC Milan and the stadium project. And whether a solution can be reached or not is currently unknown. Milan have been working on the San Donato project for quite some time, not wasting any time as all parties await potential San Siro updates, and the total cost will be €1.28bn. However, there are still some hurdles to overcome as highlighted this morning. According to Corriere dello Sport, as cited by MilanNews, the relations between the Milan council…
Today, there was bad news from Algeria: Ismael Bennacer suffered a serious injury during a training session on a synthetic field. According to medical staff of the national team, he sustained a third-degree calf injury, which is similar to a muscle tear, with all the consequences that follow. The initial estimates, pending further examinations when the midfielder returns to Italy on Tuesday for additional tests with Milan, suggest a long recovery time ranging from two and a half to three months. It will take at least six weeks for the injury to heal. This is a big blow for Paulo…
Tijjani Reijnders has been on fire with the Netherlands as of late, impressing everyone during the Euros in Germany earlier in the summer. Yesterday, he was back with the Oranje and he not only scored but also assisted. While Milan fans were well aware of the midfielder’s qualities, others were taken aback by his high-quality performances at the Euros. His starting spot with the Netherlands is now undisputed and yesterday, the No.14 proved that once again as he scored and assisted against Bosnia. The goal was very well taken, combining with Joshua Zirkzee (who almost joined Milan), and the assist came…
Roma are one week away from facing Genoa on the fourth matchday of this year’s Serie A campaign.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Dybala will soon make his return to Rome and begin preparations for the match against Genoa where he is expected to start, Dybala will likely replace Artem Dovbyk…

Algeria released a statement confirming that Bennacer had picked up an unspecified physical issue after a recent training session, and that he is set to return to Milanello for further assessment and treatment.

AC Milan will take on Venezia after the break and according to multiple reports, Tammy Abraham should be the starting striker. He has already impressed his teammates and Paulo Fonseca, as was the case from the start, is a big fan. Fonseca was the one who pushed for Abraham’s arrival and it was thus no surprise to see him in action against Lazio last weekend. It ended up being a successful cameo off the bench as he combined for the crucial equaliser, showing what he can add to the team. Today’s edition of Tuttosport, as cited by MilanNews, has highlighted the…
There is a debate raging at the moment regarding AC Milan’s ambitions and whether the new-found financial resurgence has been congruent with an intention to raise the level of the squad. To start this piece we must quantify exactly what is meant by an improvement in the accounts. Calcio e Finanza reported, Milan registered a €6.1m profit in 2022-23 and they are expected to close 2023-24 with a profit between €10m and €20m as the key numbers continue to trend in the right direction. The revenues are expected to be around €435-440m, an increase of over €30m compared to last season and…
Despite being one of the best players for AC Milan last season, Matteo Gabbia is yet to play a single minute under Paulo Fonseca’s management. Considering the struggles in defence, the manager would make a serious mistake not to give the Italian a chance. Gabbia returned from his loan spell at Villarreal in the middle of last season due to Milan’s injury crisis. He made an impact immediately and quickly became one of the most important players, named the best player based on our player ratings last season. As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, the fact that Gabbia has yet to play a…
Theo Hernandez was a key figure the last time AC Milan faced Venezia, more specifically in the 2021-22 season, as he scored a brace. A similar display will be needed next weekend as they face each other again, with the Rossoneri desperate for a win. A lot has changed since 2021-22, also known as the Scudetto season, and Milan currently find themselves in a very difficult position. After three games, they have just two points and the game against Venezia is thus a must-win, with a good performance and strong signal needed. Milan and Venezia have faced each other 28…
Emerson Royal arrived at AC Milan a month ago and while the start has been far from fantastic, the Brazilian is convinced he can make a difference. At the same time, he has embarked on a new adventure off the pitch, a report claims. Milan took some time in the negotiations with Tottenham but eventually reached an agreement at €15m, something James Horncastle labelled ‘the biggest donation in Fondazione Milan history’. In other words, the transfer hasn’t been well received by everyone. Off the pitch, in addition to settling in, Emerson Royal has also decided to embark on online studies.…
