It is approaching the second month of Adrien Rabiot’s spell without a club, and AC Milan are still considering the Frenchman, but they face competition from two Serie A rivals. Before the summer mercato, it was reported that Milan would look to strengthen their midfield, by adding new profiles and restructuring the current set-up, and we have seen this so far with Paulo Fonseca at the helm. The main target was Youssouf Fofana, and the operation to sign the Frenchman lasted longer than most fans would have liked. However, the Rossoneri landed the player eventually, and brought him to the…
AC Milan are still umming and arring about adding another striker to their squad, and the option of Tammy Abraham has not died yet. Whilst they have added Alvaro Morata to their ranks this summer, Milan have continuously been linked with the idea of a third addition, to play alongside Morata and Luka Jovic, or replace Jovic and allow Francesco Camarda a route into the senior squad. Niclas Fullkrug was analysed heavily, but the Rossoneri eventually decided against a move for the German, and Abraham was seemingly the answer, but it still remains to be seen if there is even a question…
Christian Pulisic had a fantastic debut season for AC Milan and he will look to build upon that this season. However, he will do so from a new position as Paulo Fonseca has decided to move him into a central position. With Rafael Leao having a poor campaign by his standards, someone from the attack needed to step up, and the player who did was Pulisic. The American was decisive on several occasions, and considering it was his debut season, there can be a lot of excitement about this season. Perhaps, the fact that he will be given the freedom of…
Pierre Kalulu is on the verge of a move to Juventus, but at one point it seemed a deal was heading towards him staying at AC Milan. However, the reasoning for the Frenchman changing his mind has been revealed. It has been a summer of changes for Kalulu, and they have often come in quick periods. At the start of the summer, he was a central defender, then there were experiments with him at full-back. Shortly after this, he was back to being a cover player. After that, there was the back and forth about his potential move to Juventus.…
Reigning NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown has spoken out for the first time about his Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum’s lack of playing time with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Tatum won his second Olympic gold medal in Paris but the five-time All-Star’s limited playing time, including two DNPs against Serbia, sparked a widespread debate. Brown, who was left off Team USA’s 12-member roster for the Summer Games despite winning the NBA Finals MVP award, was initially hesitant to discuss Tatum’s situation. In a video shared by the Boston Celtics reporter Noa Dalzell, Brown spoke with NBC Sports…
AC Milan’s midfield has seen somewhat of a renovation this summer, but the keys to the midfield are still held by one man, according to a report. It is, perhaps, questionable if you can call one signing a renovation. However, when the signing allows the movement and reorganisation of a department which faced heavy scrutiny last season, it feels fair to do so. Since Sandro Tonali departed, there was a clear lack of something in the midfield, and whilst Milan still had a decent midfield without the Italian, it was not a sustainable grouping of players, and on several occasions…
Although the mercato is reaching its closing stages, there is still room to be active, and AC Milan could look to make some additions to the squad if departures are finalised. In many ways, this summer has been filled with positives for Milan. There have been some nice additions made, and key areas have been worked on. However, you could argue that the timing for some additions has been poor, and several departures still need to be finalised. Ultimately, though, time is still there to work, and there are plans to continue working until the closing of the window on…
AC Milan are consistently looking to better themselves now and in the future during the mercato, and today, they are finalising a deal for a young midfielder who will play an intriguing role. Of course, the focus for Milan is improving the senior squad, and that is the primary focus for every football club during the summer. However, the Rossoneri also take a keen interest in their future and have made several investments in their Futuro squad this summer. Given the Futuro squad only came to life recently, the level of investment is understandable, but the signings made are spread…
After the news that Alvaro Morata will not be present for AC Milan’s game against Parma, questions have arisen about who will replace him, and the conversation involves a certain 16-year-old star. When Joshua Zirkzee went to Manchester United, Milan were quick to move on and brought Morata to the club after triggering his release clause. Of course, going from a striker of Zirkzee’s profile to the Spaniard was questioned, but there is, reportedly, some thinking behind the change. It all comes down to Francesco Camarda, and this is why the following pursuits have been of an ‘older’ bracket, allowing the…
