Juraj Kucka has clarified comments that he made a while ago about Rafael Leao, based on a game that he saw first-hand. Kucka did four years with Genoa before moving to Milan in 2015 a fee widely reported to be in the region of €3m plus bonuses. He ended up becoming a fan favourite at the San Siro and stayed for a couple of seasons before heading to Trabzonspor, then moving on to Watford.

A common thread unites AC Milan and Inter with Sunday's derby approaching: both are in the market for a new goalkeeper. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning, barring any sensational surprises Milan will be without Mike Maignan and Inter will be without Yann Sommer. Both are on contracts that expire next June, with no signs of a renewal. Negotiations over Maignan's extension have been stalled for some time.

Thiago Silva joined Milan from Fluminese back in 2009 and he would remain at the club for three years, winning the Scudetto and the Supercoppa Italiana. According to La Repubblica, Milan are looking for an experienced central defender who can bolster a young department. Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori, Koni De Winter and the young David Odogu are the current options, but Odogu could be loaned out.

The risk of Mike Maignan leaving on a free transfer continues to grow, as there have been no moves from either side over a new deal. As MilanNews report, a renewal currently remains on hold for Maignan, with no progress made, but also no desire to admit defeat. The situation is 'stagnant, immobile, searching for a spark from both sides' - management and player. Maignan's quality and importance are beyond dispute.

David Odogu is not getting regular playing time under Massimiliano Allegri, and AC Milan are plotting a loan move for him. Milan turned to Odogu late in the summer transfer window, a name practically unheard of and with good reason. As opposed to the experienced names like Manuel Akanji and Joe Gomez, the German only had three senior appearances to his name when arriving.

AC Milan are working on completing the rearguard, with a key renewal and several targets in mind to strengthen at the back. According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), it cannot be considered an emergency to sign a new central defender, but adding an experienced player to work under Massimiliano Allegri certainly isn't a bad idea for the rest of the season.

"Dear football, I bid you farewell, I have decided to call it a day. "It wasn't an easy decision to make. Neither is it writing this. I keep re-reading these words. Maybe it's a way of accepting it a little more. "I've found some peace now, but it took me a while to make this decision. It all started in July after a visit to a specialist: 'Mattia, you no longer have any cartilage in your ankle.

AC Milan and Inter bought San Siro earlier this month, and the clubs will hopefully be in their new stadium ahead of the 2031-32 season. There is a lot to look forward to for Milan and Inter. In the present day, both are competing for the Scudetto, and they have set themselves up well ahead of the Derby della Madonnina next weekend. However, in the long-term, they have a new stadium to move to. It has taken time, but now the clubs own San Siro, after signing the deed last week, and the next few steps have been confirmed after this took place. San Siro roadmap As this morning's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport writes (seen below),

AC Milan are constantly scanning the mercato for opportunities, and with a striker needed, this position is being focused on more. In the past few years, Milan have spent big and their returns have been dismal. Since Olivier Giroud left, no one has been able to replace him, despite €100 million being spent to find an heir for his goals.

Talking to the people at AC Milan, but also when I left the national team, we had good conversations. I haven't come back yet; I don't think it's right for me to fly there and play my first match with the national team. I just want to make sure I have the right amount of time to recover from my injury and put it behind me. I think it's the best decision for everyone now. Too soon? Yes.

The latest update comes from Sky Sports and states that Milan legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is part of the club's coaching staff, is "strongly pushing" the Rossoneri to go for Lewandowski in the summer. The veteran will be available on a free transfer and Ibrahimovic believes "Lewandowski perfectly embodies the club's values ​​and could serve as a role model for the younger generation."

AC Milan have shared a bit of insight into the hard work that goes on at Milanello daily, despite it being the international break. On Wednesday, the squad were present at the Milanello Training Center powered by Clivet - those who were not called up for national team duty anyway - and they did some work in the gym on strength and conditioning.

I've never spoken to any club about a winter move. Such talk is simply untrue. For me, showing respect to my club and giving everything where I play - that's what matters most. That won't change,

At the heart of the case is a debt of $289.17m (approximately €250m) relating to the personal guarantee Li signed in 2017 in favour of the funds for the issuance of $150m bonds, which financed the purchase of Milan from Fininvest. The company issuing the bonds was Rossoneri Advance Co. Limited, one of the offshore structures used by Li to control the club, which has officially been requested for liquidation in recent days. Eventually, Elliott Management would take over Milan, with loans not repaid.
