Recently, AC Milan's moves to strengthen their midfield have been highly anticipated, especially in the search for young and promising players. Although they haven't made much noise in the market, the behind-the-scenes operations are far from simple. They have targeted several young midfielders, each with significant potential. The hottest target at the moment is undoubtedly Bondo from Monza. As a 21-year-old French youngster, he has aroused strong interest from the Rossoneri. His performance at Monza quickly made him a priority transfer target for Milan. In fact, Bondo's technical style fits well with the qualities Milan seeks in a midfielder. He not only possesses excellent passing vision but also poses a threat in attack. For Milan, such a young and promising player is undoubtedly an ideal addition to the future midfield. Especially considering that he is a member of the French U20 team, his experience is not completely lacking, which is significant for Milan's future squad construction. In addition to Bondo, Milan has also set its sights on two other young players. Bellayane from Verona and Gurna-Duarte from Red Bull Salzburg are also under consideration by Milan. Bellayane is only 20 years old, and although Milan's current interest in him is relatively lukewarm, he proactively recommended himself to Milan through a transfer intermediary, showing that he hasn't given up on this opportunity. Bellayane has great technical potential, and despite Milan's conservative attitude towards him, his joining is still something to look forward to. Compared to Bellayane, Gurna-Duarte's situation is more complicated. The 21-year-old French U21 international has been a long-term focus…

"Agreement Reached! Exposed "Hundred Million Mr." Agrees to Join AC Milan! Genius Midfielder Expected to Rapidly Reinforce" Recently, there has been a heated discussion on whether Tomori should leave AC Milan. This question has turned the winter transfer window into a complex chess game for the Rossoneri. Some argue that Tomori's state is not as stable as when he first arrived in Serie A, and his commanding presence as a central defender has gradually faded, leading to doubts from the club management. However, others counter that Milan's defensive system built around him has operated for two seasons and cannot be easily changed. The decision to let Tomori go or stay presents the team with its first challenge. But this is not the whole story. As the season progresses past the halfway mark, Milan's seemingly impressive results reveal several underlying concerns: reliance on midfield creativity, a lack of diversity in attack, and a squad depth that struggles to cope with the demands of multiple competitions. The key now is how to enhance competitiveness through a series of choices in the winter window without harming the team's long-term development. Every move in this game requires careful consideration. Let's start with Tomori. He was once the cornerstone of AC Milan's defense, becoming a fan favorite for his excellent interceptions and positioning in crucial matches. However, the winds seem to have shifted, with RedBird Group willing to cash in on him, even expressing satisfaction with Juventus' offer of 30 million euros. But is it really worth it? The figure of 30 million is not…

For AC Milan, although they have shown good form since Concession took over, winning consecutive strong dialogues, the problem of insufficient squad depth has become increasingly evident as the season progresses, which has become the "Achilles' heel" of the team. At present, it seems that Redbird Group is brewing some important adjustments in this transfer window, and some top players are expected to wear the red and black jersey of AC Milan soon. In the back line, Tomori plays an important role in Concession's tactical system. During Fonseca's tenure, Tomori had already become a substitute, and rumors about his departure were rife. After Concession arrived at the team, he chose to "promote" Tomori. Judging from the performance in recent games, Tomori, who returned to the starting lineup, played moderately well. However, it seems that Concession's decision did not save Tomori from his poor situation. According to transfer expert Luca Bianchi, Redbird Group still sees Tomori as the main target for sale during this transfer period. The reason is that Juventus has offered them a bid of about 30 million euros, which they have agreed to. At present, Tomori's attitude has become the key to this transfer. If he rejects Juventus' offer, he will continue to stay at the San Siro Stadium in the second half of the season. However, it is judged that, given the team's decision to sell him, even if Tomori forcibly stays, his situation will not be good, coupled with the precedent of Kalulu before, Tomori is likely to eventually agree to leave. From AC Milan's point…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the 21st round of Serie A concluded with a clash between two giants, Juventus securing a home victory over AC Milan. The two teams had already faced each other this month, with Juventus being overturned by Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup, missing out on the final. In this match, Juventus achieved revenge, with goals from Mbangu and Weah in the second half helping them to victory. After the win, Juventus climbed into the top four of Serie A, and at the same time, they found a gem in their 2-0 victory! The 23-year-old defensive midfielder excelled in both attack and defense, piercing through Milan's defense, earning him praise as the new Pogba. In terms of possession, Juventus led with 60%-40%, had 15 shots to Milan's 13, and 6 shots on target to Milan's 3, making their victory well-deserved. In the 59th minute of the game, Mbangu's shot hit Emerson and took a deflection, changing direction and flying into Milan's goal, giving Juventus a 1-0 lead. In the 64th minute, Weah scored with his left foot after facing Tomori's defense one-on-one, ending Juventus' four-game winless streak. Currently, Juventus has 8 wins and 13 draws in 21 rounds, accumulating 37 points and ranking fourth in Serie A. Atalanta is third with 43 points in 21 rounds, Inter Milan is second with 44 points in 19 rounds, and Napoli tops the table with 50 points in 21 rounds. After Juventus defeated Milan, midfielder Khephren Thuram's performance was praised. Thuram had a passing success rate…

A splendid victory! Relying on goals from Timothy Weah and M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou, Serie A giants Juventus comfortably defeated their old rivals AC Milan 2-0 at home, securing their first victory of 2025 and temporarily surpassing Lazio, who have a game in hand, to rise to fourth place in the league table. In this match, Juventus' new signing Alberto Costa, brought in during the winter transfer window, was included in the squad but unfortunately did not make an appearance. The recovered Dusan Vlahovic was on standby on the bench. Coach Thiago Motta continued to use the 4231 formation, with Mattia Perin guarding the goal, and the four defenders were Weston McKennie, Gleison Bremer, Matthijs de Ligt, and Danilo, who is embroiled in transfer rumors. Manuel Locatelli and Arthur formed the double pivot in midfield, while Federico Chiesa, Paulo Dybala, and M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou took up the attacking midfield roles, and Alvaro Morata led the line to attack the fortress. In the 7th minute, M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou made space on the left side of the penalty area with consecutive feints and took a wonderful shot that narrowly missed the target, signaling the start of Juventus' offensive for the whole game. In the 10th minute, AC Milan responded in kind, with Brahim Diaz initiating the attack, and Rafael Leao turned and shot inside the box, which was blocked by Matthijs de Ligt with his body. In the 35th minute, Juventus launched a counterattack, and Federico Chiesa's direct shot from the back post was valiantly saved by Mike Maignan. After the break, Juventus…

AC Milan has been struggling this season, with an "obvious" lack of offensive prowess, scoring only 26 goals in 17 matches, leaving fans wishing they could rush onto the field to give them a laxative! Well, they've changed coaches! Portuguese coach Conceicao is tough and doesn't talk much, but he immediately sets rules and conducts a thorough overhaul within the team. Then he declares, "We need to strengthen our attack in the winter window!" Looking at his targets, it seems he's aiming for two "cast-offs" from the Premier League: Manchester United's Zirkzee and Liverpool's Chiesa. Is he looking to take advantage of the situation? Conceicao's vision is quite interesting! Let's start with Zirkzee, who stands at 1.93 meters tall and is a big guy, but he doesn't rely on headers. He's technically skilled, likes to dribble, and organize attacks, somewhat like a "false nine." Last season, he thrived at Bologna, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists in 37 games, with impressive stats. Milan was interested in him at the time, but negotiations fell through when his agent suddenly raised the price. Zirkzee ended up joining Manchester United for 42.5 million euros. However, since moving to the Premier League, he's struggled to adapt. Neither Ten Hag nor Amorim have been able to get the best out of him, as he's only managed 4 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances. In the last match against Newcastle, he finally started but was substituted after just 33 minutes, leaving him green with frustration. Now, it's rumored that Manchester United wants to trade…

As one of the top teams in world football, Manchester City has experienced a significant decline in performance this season. This has led to a strong desire among some players to leave the club. One such player is Walker, the team's captain who has been instrumental in their treble-winning success. Despite starting in 11 matches this season, Walker is keen on leaving during the winter transfer window for free. He is aware that Manchester City will soon undergo a rebuilding phase, which would limit his future opportunities within the team. Consequently, he has initiated discussions with several Serie A clubs, expressing his willingness to significantly reduce his salary to play in Italy. Walker currently earns a hefty weekly wage of £170,000 at Manchester City. Therefore, his decision to leave and join the Italian league necessitates a substantial pay cut, making him an attractive signing prospect for interested clubs. Initially, it was rumored that AC Milan would secure Walker's services, significantly bolstering their squad. However, there has been a major twist in events, as Inter Milan has swiftly moved to intercept Milan and sign the top-tier defender. Walker's wife also wishes for him to leave England due to their previous divorce case, which has been a considerable source of distress for them. Moving abroad to play football is something she hopes for, and they plan to live together in Milan, a goal that Walker shares. Inter Milan's successful interception is indeed commendable, as Walker's decision to forego a high salary ensures that he can remain a key player for the team…

After taking over the team, although AC Milan has put on an impressive performance in the cup matches, their state has shown some ups and downs when returning to the league. Currently, the Rossoneri are still nearly a double-digit point difference away from the top four. Coach Conceicao needs to quickly adapt to the rhythm of Serie A to ensure that the team finishes in the top four at the end of the season. At the same time, AC Milan's actions in this transfer window have been very swift, with the potential to complete three very important transfer signings. In defense, AC Milan has conceded 18 goals this season, with an average of 1 goal per game, and the team's average number of tackles is 12.8, ranking sixteenth in the league. This efficiency is not particularly ideal. Especially considering the team's need to catch up in the second half of the season, management needs to "upgrade" the defense. Among them, Emerson's performance at right-back has been very disappointing. Although he has good physical conditions, as a defensive player, Emerson is at an "unqualified" level in terms of positional sense, teamwork, and tackling and interception skills. Recently, Conceicao has been trying to re启用 Calabria, but the team captain has also failed to deliver a convincing performance. In this situation, the right-back position has been regarded by Conceicao as a top priority for reinforcement. According to L'Équipe, AC Milan views Kyle Walker as a key signing for this position. This season, due to poor performances by both the team and himself, Kyle…
