This season’s Serie A title race promises to be as competitive as ever, with several clubs vying to become Italy’s champions. Juventus is entering a new era, but with the Old Lady, there is never an excuse not to compete for top honours. The men in black and white are doing everything they can to ensure the team is strong enough to win trophies. For Thiago Motta, one of the best ways to cap his first season at the helm of the Allianz Stadium would be to win the league. Juve fans would idolise him for that, and the former…
AC Milan have announced the signing of Damir Zukić who has joined the club on a permanent basis from ND Primorje. The Slovenian defender, born in Ljubljana on 21 May 2004, has been linked over the past few days and he will be part of the Milan Futuro squad under head coach Daniele Bonera, the official website confirms. He actually only joined his current team six months ago but has taken advantage of the opportunities presented to him and has shown enough that Milan were alerted to his quality. Zukic has played five times for the senior team since February and…
England striker Tammy Abraham has joined AC Milan on a season-long loan from fellow Italian club Roma. The 26-year-old, who won the most recent of his 11 England caps in November 2022, moved on the same day Belgian winger Alexis Saelemaekers made a loan switch in the opposite direction. Abraham joined Roma from Chelsea for £34m in 2021 and scored 37 goals in 120 games. He was part of the Roma side that won the Europa Conference League under former manager Jose Mourinho in 2022. Abraham began his career at Chelsea and had loan moves to Swansea and Aston Villa.…
Paulo Fonseca will be able to count on Tammy Abraham immediately as the striker should be called up for AC Milan’s away game against Lazio tomorrow, a report claims. Abraham underwent a medical earlier today ahead of joining Milan on what will be a season-long loan deal, with Alexis Saelemaekers going the opposite direction but under the same formula. According to Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri still have time to register the 26-year-old for tomorrow’s game at the Stadio Olimpico, thanks to the derogation from the regulation requested by the Serie A clubs and accepted by the FIGC. The Federal Council decided to allow…
The Europa League draw has paired Roma with Tottenham, Eintracht Frankfurt and Athletic Club, while Lazio face FC Porto, Ajax and Real Sociedad. Much like the new format of the Champions League for 2024-25, the Europa League has also adapted to remove the group stage and introduce a new League Phase instead. This means each team plays eight different opponents – four at home, four away – and the results are tallied into a single table of 36 teams. The top eight go directly into the next stage, whereas the mid-table clubs will enter a play-off. Roma and Lazio were both placed in Pot 1…
Lewis Hamilton hopes Formula 1’s 2024 title battle “goes down to the wire” but says Lando Norris will need “some fortune” to chase down Max Verstappen. McLaren’s Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend to reduce Verstappen’s lead at the top of the standings to 70 points, with the Red Bull driver’s winless streak extended to five races. The dominant nature of Norris’ win in Zandvoort with his upgraded MCL38 has established McLaren as the car to beat going into the final nine races of the season, starting with this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix. Speaking at Monza on Thursday,…
One of the more interesting bits from Paulo Fonseca’s press conference ahead of the Lazio game was his confirmation that four Milan Futuro players will be called up.

AC Milan are expected to hold talks with the mother-agent of Adrien Rabiot over the potential of signing him on a free transfer, a report claims. As we recently reported via our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Milan have made another contract offer to Rabiot, who remains without a team after saying goodbye to Juventus at the beginning of the summer. The reason that he is yet to find a new team is that Frenchman’s entourage want him to earn €7m net per season, which is more or less what he was getting from the Bianconeri before he decided to leave. Milan are…
AC Milan and Inter have expressed a willingness to further evaluate the idea of renovating San Siro rather than moving out, according to a report. For some time now it has been known that Milan have decided to build a new facility in the San Francesco area, in the region of San Donato Milanese. Things proceeded, with the land bought and the Program Agreement process underway, suggesting that it was a final decision. This is despite the fact that the Rossoneri and Inter have always kept open a glimmer of hope on the possibility of renovating San Siro, in the event…
The negotiations between AC Milan and AS Roma involving Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers have finally reached a positive conclusion, a report claims. The possibility of an exchange deal between Abraham and Saelemaekers only emerged a couple of days ago, but things seemed to move quickly and it was expected that they would be permanent deals. However, as of late last night the situation had stalled as per multiple sources, and with around 24 hours at that point to try and unblock the stalemate it appeared as though the deal might fall by the wayside. Nonetheless, Fabrizio Romano has tweeted the…
