According to Sky in Switzerland, City are ‘preparing a revolution’ and they are moving ahead of time to try and line up players in view of the summer window. One of the issues they must address is replacing Kevin De Bruyne, who will leave the club. Florian Wirtz is a name on their list, and Tijjani Reijnders has been mentioned too. However, the report states that the latter is now considered the ‘ideal man to replace Ilkay Gündogan’ and ‘revitalise what has always been the lifeblood of the Guardiola system’. Reijnders has without doubt been one of Milan’s best performers…
According to La Repubblica, the first task of the new sporting director will be to try and build an ‘Italian nucleus’ at the club.

The basis will be the coach, who will be Italian or at least with experience in Serie A. The reinforcements for the squad will be known more clearly after the arrival of the new director and the coach, naturally. However, the idea of going for a ‘tricolore’ revolution also…

The French defender will not return to base, that is, to Milan, also because Juventus is ready to exercise the option to buy following a more than decent season by the former Rossoneri defender. After having paid 3 million euros for the paid loan, the ‘Old Lady’ management is ready to pay Milan the remaining 14 million euros to purchase Pierre Kalulu’s card permanently. With the Bianconeri, he has managed to regain confidence, but above all consistency in performance and results, something he had lost with the Rossoneri due to the serious injuries that had affected him in recent seasons,…

Alex Jimenez’s former coach Julen Guerrero has warned that the young Spaniard is the ‘right profile’ for Real Madrid as they seek a long-term heir to Dani Carvajal in the Spanish capital. Jimenez joined Milan from Madrid on an initial loan deal for the 2023-24 season, which became permanent at a cost of €5m at the end of that campaign. Madrid have an option to buy the 19-year-old back for a fee of €10m until the summer of 2026. That means that Madrid effectively still have a say in Jimenez’s next move until that clause expires next summer. Meanwhile, Carlo…
