Malpensa24 report that work continues at the Felice Chinetti, work that begun in late August 2025. It 'should be completed by 2026', Mayor Oreste Battiston revealed: "This is the goal we have set ourselves. The contract stipulates that the company in charge could extend the project beyond that, but we hope to reach the finish line before the end of the year."

Youssouf Fofana has been a key player under all three of his AC Milan head coaches so far, and it seems Massimiliano Allegri is trying to build the midfielder up. Milan tried desperately to bring Fofana to the club last summer; it seemed that they would have to wait until the summer just gone to land the midfielder initially. However, they eventually got a deal done, and it was worth it.

When I played at Dinamo, they told me that if I wanted to win the Golden Ball, I would have to play for Milan. In Ukraine, it is not even clear how we manage to play, but the importance of football is that it is a hope for many children. In all these years of the war, I have understood that there are no impossible things.

The AC Milan squad were once again at Milanello on Monday, as preparations continue for Friday night's game in Pisa. According to what is being reported by Sky (via MilanNews), Milan had a double session today at Milanello. The team did some work in the gym this morning and training on one of the pitches at the training complex this afternoon.

They were wonderful, formative years. They allowed me to grow in the right way: a ball, a lot of lightheartedness, and a great sense of community.

AC Milan have one of the smallest squads in Serie A in terms of numbers, but Massimiliano Allegri continues to find new resources within it. For some time, there were question marks about what the summer window brought to Milan. The squad underwent a big downsizing to just 19 outfield players, and the new signings certainly took some time to adapt.

AC Milan are working on two further renewals after getting Mike Maignan to pen fresh terms, and they are for two pillars of the defence. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) report this morning, Milan are not finished after Maignan's extension. The directors also want to tie Davide Bartesaghi and Fikayo Tomori down to new contracts for different reasons. The good news is that the Rossoneri appear to be on track to reach their desired outcome.

More information has emerged regarding the AC Milan fourth kit which will be released soon, in collaboration with PUMA and Slam Jam. According to Footy Headlines, the kits come in white and red versions with a shiny, metallic or glossy finish, which is 'inspired by late 1990s/early 2000s design aesthetics'. It is believed that they will be released later this month.

The central midfield department is the deepest in AC Milan's entire squad, and Massimiliano Allegri is still searching for the perfect trio. As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) report this morning, the right midfield position in the 3-5-2 the only spot in the starting line-up without a designated starter. Youssouf Fofana held it at the start of the season, but as the months passed, others got their chance.

AC Milan do not return to action until Friday night against Pisa, but information is emerging on the conditions of certain players. After Tuesday's win against Bologna and a recovery session the next day, Massimiliano Allegri gave his players some rest. Milan will not play this weekend, as the match against Como was postponed to February 18th due to San Siro being used for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

On Saturday last week, Milan confirmed that Maignan had signed a new contract with the club until 2031. As such, a tiring saga was put to an end and it was certainly something for the Rossoneri fans to celebrate. In addition to his fantastic performances on the pitch, the fact that the previous contract was expiring in the summer made the situation thorny for Milan. They did enough to convince the player in the end, even if a lot of clubs were interested.

When the match starts, anything can happen. I want to win every time my team plays. Against Milan, we need a certain type of tactical work, but on Friday we will enter the pitch to get a result.

According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are determined to sign Leon Goretzka as a free agent when his contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, but they face strong competition from Arsenal for the services of the 31-year-old midfielder. At Milan, they believe Goretzka would add significant quality to their midfield ranks, and they want him regardless of whether veteran Luka Modric decides to stay or leave.

With the mercato just closing, and Jean-Philippe Mateta not joining AC Milan, Oli and Anthony looked at a few others who could've stayed or joined. The mercato is a strange time, isn't it. Ultimately, it is a very volatile period for football clubs, and we saw this again with Mateta's failed move to Italy, which we have recently written a feature about. However, his move is not the only like it. There are several 'What If' moments from the past few years
