Christopher Nkunku's story with AC Milan has been a complex one, but on Sunday he experienced the joy of his first league goals. As Calciomercato.com recall, here was something different about Nkunku in the 3-0 win over Hellas Verona. Perhaps survival instincts have kicked in, in what could truly be his last chance to prove something to and for Milan.

Chelsea are in danger of losing one of Enzo Marseca's key men with Atletico Madrid pushing to complete his signing. Maresca has endured a tough few weeks, with Chelsea winning just once since beating Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League. They have found themselves eight points of Premier League leaders Arsenal and 13th in the Champions League, albeit in a strong position to at least advance to the knockout play-offs.

Manchester City have been keeping a close eye on Munoz in recent months, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Pep Guardiola is said to admire the 29-year-old's athleticism, pressing intensity, and overlapping runs, traits that fit perfectly into City's high-possession, aggressive full-back system. While City's interest has yet to translate into a formal offer, sources suggest that their recruitment team has compiled extensive scouting data on the Colombian.

Pep Guardiola has once again shown his class both on and off the pitch, earning praise for his post-match gesture toward Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes following Manchester City's 2-1 Champions League victory at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night. The Premier League giants secured a crucial away win thanks to goals from Nico O'Reilly and Erling Haaland. But one of the night's most talked-about moments came after the final whistle, when Guardiola approached Rodrygo for a brief but heartfelt conversation. Speaking to reporters after the match, Guardiola revealed what he told the Brazilian forward, as reported by Fabrizio Romano: I went to Rodrygo and I told him, What a player you are he's really unbelievable.'

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has officially changed representatives, parting ways with his long-time agent Uriel Perez to join The Elegant Game, an agency co-founded by former Argentina international and Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore. According to Fabrizio Romano, the change of representation has been finalised. By signing with The Elegant Game, Enzo joins a growing roster of South American talent under Pastore's management group, which has quickly gained traction in Europe's football circles for its strong ties with Serie A and La Liga clubs.

The gates of Milanello welcomed the squad back into training on Wednesday, while they also welcomed a special guest too. As a photo posted on the club's official account shows, Franck Ribery was at the training complex. The former France international - who played for Marseille, Bayern Munich, Fiorentina, and Salernitana among others - visited Milanello. He had the opportunity to meet several Milan players, including his compatriot Mike Maignan.

It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame. The club made me a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am in the bench for three games, so I can't say they keep the promise.

Leicester City midfielder Bilal El Khannouss has been linked with a move away from the club permanently. The midfielder is currently on loan at Stuttgart, and they have an option to buy the player for a fee of around 22 million. Meanwhile, clubs like Newcastle United are keeping tabs on his progress as per TEAMtalk. They could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park. The talented midfielder could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition.

Raphinha has always stated that it had been a dream for him to play for Barcelona, and now that he is living it, the winger wants to continue for as long as possible. Indeed, according to SPORT, Raphinha has no plans of considering a departure from the Catalan club anytime soon, having only recently renewed his contract until 2028. Since parting ways with Deco, the Brazilian does not work with any agent, and every agency that has approached him has received the same message regarding his future.

I think Ollie wants to move, if I'm honest. And I think he has a fairly good reason because when they got to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and he got left out for a player on loan in (Marcus) Rashford in both ties. I might be wrong, but looking at his body language and everything else about him, probably best for everybody for him to move on.
