AC Milan need to sign a new midfielder during the mercato, and they have tried extensively to sign one player, and a report has suggested the role is, perhaps, the last thing missing from the team. It is difficult to pinpoint when exactly Milan determined they needed a new midfielder. However, with the recurring injury problems, and a lack of stability, it became evidently clear that the area needed some focus this summer. The plan was conceived before Paulo Fonseca’s arrival, but with the Portuguese coach wanting to ‘beef up’ the squad, the plan merged perfectly, and the Rossoneri got to…

The iconic Steph Curry flurry to end Saturday’s gold medal game of the Olympics will go down as one of the most memorable moments of his storied career. After the game, Team USA coach Steve Kerr revealed an insightful tidbit during a timeout preceding those four 3-pointers in the final minutes. “Down the stretch, Steph took over,” Kerr told reporters (h/t Joe Vardon of The Athletic). “He actually suggested in the timeout with about three minutes left, he said, ‘Let me run a clear side pick and roll with LeBron, and we’ll spread the floor.’ I said, ‘OK, let’s do that, because…
The pink newspaper has taken stock of the situation (see photo below), considering just how tiring the negotiations have been between Milan and Monaco. The stalemate remains regarding the offer and demand, and Fofana’s will hasn’t changed either. In fact, Fofana has told Milan – through his entourage – that he’s ready to decline a potential offer from Manchester United after first rejecting West Ham. The Old Trafford side probed the ground with Monaco but are yet to speak with the player, more keen on signing Manuel Ugarte anyway. Called up or not? Fofana returned to the Monaco training ground on August…
Samuel Chukwueze has looked very bright during pre-season, following the disappointing 2023-24 campaign, and Paulo Fonseca appears to be onto something. As highlighted by Andrea Longoni, the manager will have to do this with Emerson Royal as well. Emerson Royal is scheduled to arrive this evening, more specifically around 21:45 CEST, and he will become the third signing of the summer. However, he certainly doesn’t excite the fanbase as much as Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic did. As highlighted by Andrea Longoni in his latest editorial for MilanNews, we have seen promising signs from Chukwueze in pre-season, largely thanks to Fonseca. The…
Manchester United target Youssouf Fofana is reportedly prepared to reject the club and wait for his preferred destination of AC Milan. After the impressive captures of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, the Red Devils have agreed a double deal for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. Nonetheless, the Red Devils are still eager to sign at least one defensive midfielder before the transfer windows slams shut in 19 days time. United would still love to do a deal for Manuel Ugarte but it is clear that Paris Saint-Germain will have to lower their asking price if a transfer is to take place. Sander…
There is a problem in Paris for Jayson Tatum and it’s showing on his face. The three-time All-NBA first-team player, Celtics cornerstone, and NBA champion has been benched for two Team USA games by coach Steve Kerr, getting no minutes in both games against Serbia, including the thrilling semifinal Thursday. While the Americans were falling behind and Kerr was seeking answers to contain Serbia’s hot shooting, Tatum sat and didn’t even appear to be an option. What’s also apparent is that Kerr does not consider Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton worth playing meaningful minutes. The basketball world had no idea Tatum would soon be…
