AC Milan are strong title contenders, currently second in Serie A with 38 points, and are predicted to beat Genoa 3-0 at San Siro.
Scoring 11 or 12 times from the first shot on target and not even being at the halfway point of the season suggests a certain element of luck, and it has already provoked question marks about how sustainable it is. Looking at the stats for the league in general, Inter are the top scorers with 36 goals, eight more than Milan who have 28 so far.
With a desire to sign another defender this month, AC Milan have looked to make a move for one of Massimiliano Allegri's former players. It is no surprise that Allegri is looking for players whom he trusts. After all, his staff are built with the same motivation and even in the summer, a few former players were linked. So, it is not shocking news that the theme is continuing.
Whilst the calendar looks quite scary for AC Milan this month, it could certainly be worse, and the Rossoneri are in a pretty solid position. A lot can be said about the upcoming fixtures which Milan face. Five games in 18 days certainly has the possibility of being challenging, and it may well be. However, they are not alone in having a tough run of games.
AC Milan have been offered the chance to sign Federico Chiesa from Liverpool, but there is an obstacle and other teams are in the race. Milan have already signed one forward in the winter window as Niclas Füllkrug arrived from West Ham United on loan with an option to buy. Amid the talk that Christopher Nkunku is a serious target for Fenerbahce, there might yet be the need to sign another.
Even though we are not even halfway through the 2025-26 season yet, details on the kits for the next campaign continue to emerge. In a feature a couple of weeks ago we provided a round-up of all the things we know about Milan's three shirts for 2026-27, based on the leaks that have emerged from the usual sources. This morning, a mock-up of the home shirt surfaced, which claims to have 90% accuracy.
Mario Gila's agent has attempted to cool some of the rumours about a mid-season move to AC Milan, by reiterating that his focus is on Lazio. Signing another centre-back is one of Milan's missions in the winter window, even if Igli Tare claimed before the recent win over Cagliari that the current defensive options are enough for the rest of the season. Various names have been linked, but one more than most: Mario Gila.
In recent weeks, in recent months, several Premier League clubs have asked for information and tried to probe the price of the footballer, whether he could be out or not. To date there are no official proposals.
Despite leaving AC Milan in the summer and not shutting down a return in the future, Theo Hernandez could make a move to a different Italian club soon. Theo's exit was certainly an abrasive one. From the initial doubts about a renewal to his final season in Milan colours, the situation was messy. It probably didn't need to be, and yet there was an overriding feeling of toxicity from start to finish.
Taking a look at the player ratings handed out by Italian papers this morning, it's clear that AC Milan won their game against Cagliari thanks to a brilliant midfield. Rafael Leao scored the winner for the Rossoneri, finding the back of the net at the start of the second half, but he wasn't the MVP according to the papers. Instead, Milan benefitted from an exceptional midfield duo, namely Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot.
Lens extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to four points with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Toulouse on Friday evening. Toulouse were reduced to 10 men after just 23 minutes when Emersonn was sent off before Lens cruised to a comfortable win thanks to goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson and Ismaelo Ganiou. The result moves Pierre Sage's side four points clear of champions PSG, who can cut the gap to just one point with a win over Paris FC on Sunday.
