Adrien Rabiot returned to full training on Tuesday which is great news for AC Milan, but he could have actually been a derby opponent. As Calciomercato.com report, Rabiot's return is huge for Massimiliano Allegri, even if we need to see whether he will be an immediate starter after over a month of inactivity or rather ready to contribute from the bench.
Luka Modric is now one of the most treasured AC Milan players. However, in a different world, he could have been lining up for Sunday's game in different colours. A player like Modric will always have options, and this is showing currently. Already, there is talk about a move to Saudi Arabia if he does not choose to extend his deal with Milan, and in years prior to this, that interest has never really changed.
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.
As the winter transfer window looms, Europe's elite clubs are already jostling for position in one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the season, the race to sign Argentine prodigy Nico Paz, currently lighting up Serie A with Como. Once part of Real Madrid's academy, Paz has become one of the most sought-after young playmakers in Europe. The 21-year-old has scored four goals and provided four assists for Como this season.
In the area currently occupied by the Meazza, we will build a hotel, a small shopping centre, and we will house the headquarters of Milan and Inter. We will also place the museums of the two teams and create a sports area next to the new stadium. I have always described the San Siro area as a desolate wasteland, in the sense that I consider it an area that is either too empty or too full:
Martínéz, 27, was driving to Inter's training ground in Appiano Gentile when at 9:43 a.m. on a provincial road in Fenegrò, Como, Italy, when the car struck a man in an electric wheelchair that had crossed into his lane, the police report said. Martínéz stopped at the scene and called the emergency services, with an ambulance and a helicopter arriving minutes later, but attempts to revive the man were unsuccessful.
Hellas Verona are a modest club in Italy and are an established team in the top flight of Italian football. I Gialloblu finished as high as 13th in the Serie A table in the 2023-24 season and 14th in the 2024-25 campaign, and they will be happy if they end up in a similar position this time around. Paolo Zanetti's side, though, are in real trouble at the moment. Hellas are 17th in the Serie A table right now with just five points from eight matches, only a point above the relegation zone.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Massimiliano Allegri chose AC Milan in the summer 'out of love' rather than waiting for the Inter job. Ahead of a crucial summer, Milan chose to overhaul their management by hiring a new sporting director and head coach. Igli Tare was the man chosen for the former role, and he quickly accelerated to bring Allegri back to the club as Sergio Conceicao's replacement.
