Until this morning, Fabio Paratici seemed to be imminently arriving as AC Milan’s new sporting director, but this is no longer the case, despite no new information coming to light. When Paratici was banned at Tottenham Hotspur, it was a very publicly available matter, so there was no hiding from the sporting director’s ban, which is due to expire this summer. However, Milan didn’t let this stop their negotiations. In fact, despite these issues, he was still the primary candidate to take the reins this summer, and the Rossoneri even believed in his credentials so much that they were ready…
Work ahead of the summer mercato is already taking place, and AC Milan have sent scouts to watch a player in the Bundesliga who is heavily impressing. In recent years, Milan have typically stuck to a strict budget in the mercato, but it seems like they may push the boat out a little this summer, as they step into a new era. Already, there have been suggestions that the club are considering a move for Eberechi Eze, and a new high-value player has been put forward this afternoon. According to Christian Falk for The Daily Briefing, the Rossoneri have been…
AC Milan are preparing to face Fiorentina, and the final personnel decisions will be made on the day of the game, it seems, with Sergio Conceicao facing some issues. If there is to be a miraculous effort to be in Europe next season, the first steps must be made tomorrow, and a packed San Siro will be asking for everything to be on display from their side, who proved their worth in midweek. For Conceicao, there are a few decisions that need to be made regarding his lineup, and they start in defence, as Milan News write. Mike Maignan will…
After the defeat to Napoli and the draw in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Inter, Sergio Conceiçao’s Milan will immediately return to action to face Fiorentina in the 31st round of Serie A Enilve. As in the match at the Diego Armando Maradona, the Portuguese coach will make some important changes to his lineup for tomorrow’s match against La Viola. The most notable change concerns the defense, with Fikayo Tomori, nearly two months after his last appearance, returning to collect minutes in the league. The Englishman will be the only change from a week ago, with…
Alexis Saelemaekers is enjoying another good campaign after recovering from injury, and he will return to AC Milan in the summer, even if his future is not with the club. In the past few months, Milan have been subject to consistent talks with Roma about the situation with Saelemaekers, with the Giallorossi keen to try and land the winger before anyone else has the chance to do so. However, so far, they have not gotten any fruits from their labour, with it almost guaranteed that he will return to the Rossoneri in the summer, as Corriere dello Sport write, via…
Roma defender and 2014 World Cup winner Mats Hummels has officially announced that he will retire from professional football at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. “I’m fighting with my emotions right now.” Hummels joined Roma as a free agent in September following the expiry of his contract with Borussia Dortmund. He put pen to paper on a one-year contract with the option to extend for a further 12 months, a clause that will not be exercised. “I’m fighting with my emotions right now,” the 26-year-old said in a retirement announcement video on Friday. “Now comes the moment that no…
Arsenal have made an approach for Khephren Thuram, with a report in Italy revealing Juventus’s response to the Gunners as well as to Manchester United and Newcastle United about the midfielder, who has been compared to Steven Gerrard and Jude Bellingham. Although Arsenal are still in the Premier League title race and have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the north London club are fully aware of the need to strengthen their squad. Liverpool are doing extremely well in Arne Slot’s side first season in charge and can only do better in the 2025-26 campaign, while defending Premier…
It is an increasingly likely possibility that AC Milan will have an Italian head coach once again next season, and it seems there are four names in the mix. With the disappointments of this season, both being at the hands of foreign coaches, it seems Milan are looking to bring an Italian core back to the club, and this is the case off the pitch too, with a new head coach ideally being Italian. As Tuttosport writes this morning, it seems there are five names being linked with the job, those being Antonio Conte, Massimiliano Allegri, Roberto De Zerbi, Vincenzo…
Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City after 10 years at the end of the 2024-25 season, but the Belgian star is not expected to move to Serie A, despite some suggestions that he could be a potential target for Inter as a free agent. De Bruyne, considered one of the Premier League’s greatest ever midfielders, announced on Friday that he will be leaving Manchester City at the end of his current contract, which expires at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. A six-time Premier League winner, De Bruyne is expected to be one of the most sought-after free agents…
There have been few players as brilliant as Tijjani Reijnders this season, and AC Milan will need him against Fiorentina on Saturday. However, they might not have the luxury of doing so. This season has been difficult for everyone, but through difficulty, quality can be found, and this is largely the case with Reijnders, much like it was last season. In the past 12 months, the Dutchman has come into his own, and this season, we have seen it even more. Before, the midfielder was asked to play everywhere, covering a number of different roles. However, he has now been…
