AC Milan were one of a few top European clubs to send scouts to watch Konstantinos Karetsas in action, according to a report. Milan's squad took on a more experienced feel in the summer with signings such as Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, who are 40 and 30 respectively and have both already become established starters. It showed a bit of flexibility from the previous stance of only signing players in their early or mid 20s.

There are very few players who are closer to clubs than Maldini. He is Milan, and Milan is him. When you dedicate 30 years to one club, it is a natural situation. With almost 650 appearances for the Rossoneri, too, this fact is cemented. The Italian saw everything in the colours, winning seven Scudetti, five Champions League titles, a Club World Cup and much more.

West Ham United are reportedly interested in a potential transfer move for AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez, and could try offering Jean-Clair Todibo as part of the deal. Gimenez's agent Rafaela Pimenta is said to have received some approaches from clubs in England, and it seems West Ham are one to watch in particular. According to Sport Witness, citing reports from Tuttosport and Milan Live,

The future of Bernardo Silva in the Premier League has become uncertain, with reports from Calciomercato claiming that Juventus and AC Milan have both made initial contact with the Manchester City playmaker over a potential summer transfer. The Portuguese international's contract with City is set to expire at the end of the season, putting several top clubs on alert as he edges closer to free agency.

Massimiliano Allegri constantly repeats it: AC Milan's goal is to finish the season in the top four. However, there are reasons to dream bigger. The table shows Milan two points behind league leaders Roma, thus ahead of those who began the season as the two favourites to contend for the Scudetto, namely Inter and Napoli. The fact that the Rossoneri have beat all the other teams in the top five is another strong positive signal.

According to this morning's edition of Tuttosport (via Eurosport), Franculino is very much on Milan's radar, a Guinea-Bissau international who also holds a Portuguese passport and has qualities that suggest a future at the top level. Bayern Munich had already considered securing him this summer before the auction for him erupted. According to the paper, Midtjylland are already asking €40m, considering the potential future of Franculino.

Adrien Rabiot has insisted that this current AC Milan side are built to win now, with even Rafael Leao helping out in the defensive dirty work. Rabiot returned to the starting line-up for Milan against Inter on Sunday night, and the positive trend with the Frenchman continued as he put in another excellent performance, winning his battle with Nicolo Barella in the middle of the park.

AC Milan were linked with a move to Niclas Fullkrug in the summer of 2024, but the German moved to West Ham. There was a lot of talk about Fullkrug in the 2024 summer mercato, and it seemed like he could make a move to Milan after a decent season with Dortmund and a solid European Championship performance.

Santiago Gimenez has not enjoyed his start to life at AC Milan, and the relationship could end in the next few months. When it seemed like Gimenez was going to join Milan, many were hopeful for the future. It seemed like the Rossoneri had overcome an obstacle, paying €30 million for a striker. However, he has not proved that worth since.

This is the first year that the Rossoneri have been without European football in a while, and the result of this is overwhelmingly negative in the accounts. However, it could have some perks in the longer term. As Tuttosport reports, Massimiliano Allegri will now be granted the advantage of time against his opposition around the top of the table, given that most have European commitments. In fact, he could almost be given an extra month.
