You know it when you no longer feel the fire inside. That's the moment. There's no point in continuing to play, dragging yourself out and no longer having fun. When I started to feel all this, I made the decision. I felt good on the pitch right up until the end.

AC Milan announce that Pietro Faccioli has signed his first professional contract. The goalkeeper, born in 2009 and a Rossoneri player for five seasons, will be part of the Milan Futuro project, an initiative dedicated to the growth and development of young talent.

Milan are very satisfied with Koni De Winter's last performances. He had been approached by two Premier League's Clubs in January, but Max Allegri pushed to keep him because he was convinced of his break-out.

Milan must have feared yet more dropped points against a side battling relegation when the scoreboard read 0-0 on 89 minutes. Then, Strahinja Pavlovic netted from a corner and Rafael Leao converted a counter-attack, so the Rossoneri ended up winning 2-0.

Prior to the defeat against Parma last weekend, Milan had only lost one game: the opening round against Cremonese at San Siro. Davide Nicola's men made the most of two chances, more or less, to win 1-2 and shock the Rossoneri in front of their home crowd.

According to Calciomercato.com, while Terracciano might end up staying at Cremonese, Bondo will return to Milan at the end of the season. He will then start training with the first team during pre-season, hoping to convince Massimiliano Allegri to keep him in the squad.

It's quite funny. My team-mates call me Maldini. I take it well and am happy to be performing at a good level as a centre-back to be named like that.

Serie A giants Juventus have initiated contact for Leon Goretzka as the race for the German midfielder's signature begins to heat up ahead of a potential free transfer this summer. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri have established initial ties with the player's entourage to explore the feasibility of a deal.

The front line has been an issue for Milan all season; there can be no denying that. Whether it has been injuries, bad form or a mix of both, Allegri has rarely had the luxury of a front two without question.

It was a lightning negotiation, closed on the last day of the market. My agent suddenly called me saying, 'We have to take a jet to Milan right away'. I remember the interview with Pippo Inzaghi in his office on the first day in Milanello. He was supposed to show me some slides on how to move around the field, but he spoke in Italian. I didn't understand anything.

The work is progressing, just yesterday there was the last meeting of the week to talk about the new stadium. We will have to be absolutely ready for the 2032 European Championships; in the meantime, the teams will continue to play at San Siro.
