Milan coach Paulo Fonseca insists that it’s ‘easy’ to understand where the Rossoneri must improve after earning just one point in the opening two Serie A matches. Milan return to the pitch on Saturday, meeting Marco Baroni’s Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The Rossoneri picked up a 2-2 draw against Torino in the opening round and lost 2-1 to newly promoted side Parma last week. “We are aware that we haven’t started well. But we are all united, and we want to find solutions. That’s what we’ve done this week,” Fonseca said at a press conference on Friday. “We are united, so it’s easier to…
After finishing 2nd in the previous Serie A season, Milan said they would be having a different type of mercato, focusing on specific roles instead of signing 10 players like they did last summer. And indeed, it was more targeted, with 5 new players joining, and 1 player getting bought out. In attack, Álvaro Morata was the first player to join – arriving from Atlético Madrid, and Tammy Abraham was the last player to arrive – coming from Roma. Only one midfielder arrived in this window, with Youssouf Fofana joining from Monaco after a long negotiation, while in defense, Emerson…
Paulo Fonseca is ready to send a message to his star players who have shown bad attitudes in the first games. The Rossoneri started the season very poorly, just barely avoiding defeat at San Siro against Torino, before getting outplayed by Parma away from home, and they only have 1 point from 6. On Saturday night (20:45 CEST kickoff), Milan take on Lazio at the Olimpico, and it seems that Fonseca is planning a sort of revolution in the starting XI, keeping 2 of the most prominent Milan players in recent years on the bench. As reported by La Gazzetta…
AC Milan have officially confirmed that Alexis Saelemaekers has joined AS Roma on a loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season. It has been a strange few weeks for Saelemaekers, who has gone from being seemingly set to remain at Milan to now having been loaned to Roma for the season, as confirmed on the official website. The Belgian winger had a positive season on loan at Bologna in 2023-24 and might have expected to be joining them permanently, yet he returned to Milanello and began working to impress the new head coach Paulo Fonseca. It looked as…
AC Milan will make the trip to the capital in search of their first win of the season when they take on Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night. With just one point obtained from a possible six, Milan have made their worst start to a Serie A campaign since 2011-12. A draw against Torino was followed up by a defeat against newly-promoted Parma, meaning is has been a far from ideal beginning. The pressure on Paulo Fonseca has naturally been dialled up after a great preseason, and in his pre-match press conference he admitted that the early scrutiny…
Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo underwent elbow surgery Wednesday, the team announced, and will miss the rest of the season. The 29-year-old had Tommy John elbow reconstruction with an internal brace and flexor repair to fix the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Dr. Keith Meister performed the surgery at Trinity Park Surgery Center in Arlington, Texas. “Everything went really well,” manager Brandon Hyde said of the procedure, which was performed on the elbow of his nonthrowing arm. “Hopefully, he’s back by the regular season next year but we’re happy the surgery went well.” Mateo suffered a transient dislocation in his…

Italy international Federico Bernardeschi is convinced that both Roma and Serie A will benefit from Paulo Dybala’s decision to stay at the Stadio Olimpico. Dybala rejected a €25-year salary offer from Al-Qadsiah and decided to stay at Roma until the end of his contract in June 2025. He has an option to automatically extend until 2026 if he makes a certain number of appearances with Roma this season. Roma fans were beyond delighted to learn that their idol would not leave and even thanked him at his home last week. “The affection that Roma gives you is special,” said Bernardeschi, a former…
AC Milan have departed for the capital this afternoon on the eve of the game against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico today night. A reaction is needed after the poor start to the league campaign, with only one point obtained in two games which is the worst return since the 2011-12 season. The 2-2 draw against Torino only came because of a late fightback, while the 2-1 defeat to Parma set the alarm bells ringing. As MilanNews report, Paulo Fonseca announced the call-up of the Milan Futuro quartet of Francesco Camarda, Kevin Zeroli, Davide Bartesaghi and Hugo Cuenca. In addition to being a good…
