According to reports from Italy's La Repubblica, Victor Osimhen has rejected the opportunity to join Manchester United during the January transfer window and will not leave his loan spell at Galatasaray. This decision has angered Napoli, who see it as an act of revenge by the 26-year-old Nigerian striker, but they are powerless to stop him. Despite reports in Nigeria suggesting that Osimhen was planning a move to Manchester United in the winter window, the reality is different. Osimhen does not intend to transfer mid-season, nor does he wish to help Napoli maximize their profits; relations between the two parties soured over the summer. Osimhen signed a new contract in December 2023, but just six months later, he was agitating for a move. His release clause is set at a staggering €120 million, with no club coming close to this figure in their offers; lower bids from Chelsea and Saudi Professional League teams were rejected on the last day of the summer transfer window. Ultimately, the Nigerian international was loaned to Galatasaray in September 2024. Napoli hoped he would maintain his form and could be sold for €85 million in January. However, La Repubblica points out that even if Manchester United had made a move, Osimhen informed Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, that he would remain at Galatasaray until the end of the season, which would at least secure him a Turkish Super League title. Osimhen's actions have infuriated Napoli's owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who sees this as another example of a player trying to put the club in a…

A Crazy Night in Football: Bayern and Real Madrid Create Big Disasters, Milan Comeback to Kill Inter and Win the Title On the early morning of January 7th, Beijing time, the Italian Super Cup final, Spanish King's Cup, and friendly matches were fiercely contested overnight. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and AC Milan, four major giants, took part in the matches. Among them, Milan made a thrilling comeback to defeat Inter 3-2, while Real Madrid won 5-0 against Minella, and Bayern Munich swept Salzburg 6-0. Italian Super Cup: Milan 3-2 Inter This was the third time the two teams met in the Italian Super Cup, with each team winning one game previously. In the first half, both teams had five shots on goal, with Inter hitting the target twice and Milan once. The only goal came during stoppage time when Lautaro scored from close range to give Inter a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Inter quickly extended their lead to 2-0 with a goal from De Vrij assisting Taremi. Shortly after, Theo scored directly from a free-kick to bring Milan back into the game at 1-2. In the 80th minute, Pulisic equalized for Milan, making it 2-2. Then in the 93rd minute, Leao assisted Abraham to score, completing Milan's remarkable comeback victory at 3-2. Lautaro, who scored the opening goal for Inter, has now scored four goals in six appearances in the Italian Super Cup, becoming Inter's top scorer in the competition. He also equaled Dybala's record as the joint-top scorer in the history of the Italian Super…

In the current winter transfer window of the football world, a midfield general has become a common target for two giants, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, and he is none other than Hakan Calhanoglu, the midfield core of Inter Milan. Firstly, let's talk about the situation at Manchester City, which can be described as being mired in the quagmire of the defensive midfielder position. The season-ending injury to Rodri dealt a heavy blow to the team's midfield defense system. Nunes' performance failed to meet expectations, while Kovacic was plagued by injuries. These unfavorable factors combined have led to a significant drop in City's results. Looking at the Premier League table, they are only in sixth place, with the once title contenders now gradually falling away from the championship group. The personnel shortage in the defensive midfielder position is like a heavy shackle, restricting the overall strength of the team. As for Bayern Munich, the situation is similarly grim. The team's two defensive midfielders, Pavlovic and Parigna, are both on the sickbed, posing a huge challenge to Bayern's defense. Despite Kane's dominance in attack, scoring goals galore and leading the team to the top of the league standings, football is a sport that emphasizes balance between attack and defense. In the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, the importance of defense is self-evident. Without a strong defensive midfielder to intercept and organize in midfield, it would be extremely difficult for the team to progress further in the Champions League. Against this backdrop, the name Hakan Calhanoglu stands out even more…

The Italian Super Cup semi-finals saw a match between Juventus and AC Milan. Juventus has had a peculiar record this season in the league, with 11 draws out of 18 matches, winning the other 7 to remain undefeated, but their ranking is somewhat low at 6th place. In the Champions League, Juventus achieved a moderate record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. This time, on the Italian Super Cup stage, Juventus faced a strong AC Milan. The two teams have drawn in their last two encounters. However, this time, Juventus fell and was eliminated after a dramatic comeback! Juventus lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game. Vlahovic led the attack. The attacking trio of Ildiz, Kupmenas, and Mbangula worked together. Locatelli and Thuram formed the double pivot in midfield. Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, and McKennie started as the four defenders. Di Gregorio was the starting goalkeeper. Weah, Gonzalez, Conceicao, and Cambiasso were on standby on the bench. Juventus started off relatively smoothly, with Ildiz scoring in the 20th minute. The 19-year-old Ildiz is the second youngest goalscorer in the Italian Super Cup, only behind Balotelli. Vlahovic had a chance to extend the lead, but his close-range shot went wide, wasting Ildiz's fine pass. Trailing in score, Milan fought back fiercely, and Lady Luck also smiled upon them. Pulisic equalized from the penalty spot, and Musa's cross led to Gatti's own goal. Milan scored twice in four minutes to complete the comeback. The final score was set at 1-2, and Juventus was eliminated. It's truly bizarre that Juventus…

Although Oaktree Capital has given Inter Milan a "command" to consider financial issues and age restrictions when buying new players, which has increased the difficulty of transfers and led many Inter executives to say there will be no major moves in the winter window; however, many media outlets are still talking about Inter's old routine of "sneaking through the warehouse" under Marotta. They are considering buying new players while meeting the basic requirements of Oaktree and considering introducing them. According to journalist Longo, Inter Milan is carefully considering signing the outstanding rising star of Apennine this season, Nico Pas, and has already carried out detailed exchanges, including interactions at the level of Marotta. This is a very important event for Inter Milan. Pas' ability does not need to be elaborated. He is also familiar enough with this sport. If he can join a top club like Inter Milan, it will also be a promotion for himself. Pas, under Fabregas, started 13 times in 16 Serie A games, ranking third in playing time within the team, totaling 1249 minutes. Pas is also the second most dribbling player in Serie A this season with 35 times, only behind Leo, and is also the player who creates the most opportunities and makes the most interceptions within the team. Of course, big clubs are no strangers to Pas' growth. Although he is currently in Como, his actual ownership is in Real Madrid. It is reported that Milan has been paying attention to Pas for months, and Milan also maintains a good relationship with Real…

The change of coaches at Milan is quite interesting. Fonseca only stayed for half a year before leaving, and the newly arrived Conceicao appears to be making sweeping reforms. However, this kind of coaching change is not uncommon in Serie A, after all, when results are poor, someone has to take the blame. Tomori, this player, did not fare well under Fonseca, basically sitting on the bench as a substitute, only coming on once in the last five games. This treatment seems unreasonable for a main player who helped the team win the Serie A title. As soon as Conceicao arrived, he put him in the starting lineup, which suggests that the new coach wants to rekindle the form of this English central defender. The central defensive partnership of Tomori and Gav in training has been good, giving Conceicao hope. After all, stable defense is needed against strong teams like Juventus, which may lead to Gabia taking a seat on the bench. This personnel adjustment shows Conceicao's high regard for the defensive system. Milan is currently ranked eighth, which is not a very good result. The new coach must act upon taking office, and reusing Tomori is a wise move, ensuring stability at least defensively, and Tomori has indeed proven his abilities before. Calabria's contract expires this summer, and at 28 years old, he is in his prime. However, this season he only had 10 appearances, with only 6 starts, which is somewhat awkward for a captain, and there is no news of renewal yet. He may leave the team…

Milan's new coach is keen on acquiring new players, targeting a disappointed striker from Manchester United and a former national team-level winger. The possibility of Zirkzee continuing under Amorim is decreasing, with the coach interested in returning to his successful past in Italy. Several Italian giants, including AC Milan, recognize his potential. The new Milan coach, Conceicao, has proposed a transfer plan to sign Zirkzee, which could be an opportunity for him to return to Italy and adapt more quickly than in England. However, Zirkzee's price may not be low, as he was recently purchased by Manchester United. Conceicao also suggested renting Chiesa, who is eager to return to Italy due to lack of opportunities at Liverpool. Both transfers would require significant financial support, and it remains to be seen if Milan's management will approve these proposals, which are also desired by Juventus, potentially leading to intense competition between the two teams.

Milan will be very busy with the renewal of core players, which will naturally increase the team's operating costs. Milan is a team that has been severely affected by the renewal issue. The players who left for free in the past still make many Rossoneri unable to let go. Renewing key players is one of the core tasks of management, and they must do better at present to prevent the tragedy of the past from happening again. At least for now, they have achieved preliminary results: Gabbia has successfully renewed his contract, and he will become the future possible team captain and spokesman for Milanism. The data in this article comes from Calcio e Finanza, and will not be repeated later. According to this data, Gabbia received a doubled salary treatment, with an after-tax annual salary reaching 2 million euros. However, due to the regulations of the Italian Growth Decree, such local players cannot enjoy preferential tax rates, so the actual cost for the team to pay Gabbia increased from 1.85 million euros to 3.7 million euros. Just like Bennacer, although he is not Italian, he does not have any tax advantages. Therefore, before the serious injury, as the absolute midfield core of the team, his renewal conditions were a post-tax annual salary of 3.8 million euros, but the actual cost for the team was as high as 7.04 million euros, even exceeding Leao. This season, Ben 4 is also one of the "most expensive" players in the team, second only to Morata (who returned to La Liga in 2022…

Due to poor results and ranking 8th in Serie A, AC Milan has changed their coach. Coach Fonseca, who only coached for half a year, was abandoned by Milan, and his Portuguese compatriot Conceicao became the new coach of Milan. Conceicao had an outstanding coaching performance at Porto, helping the team win three Portuguese Super League titles and other honors, and once eliminated Ronaldo's Juventus to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Milan hopes to revive under Conceicao's leadership. Conceicao's "three fires" upon taking office! Reusing players discarded by Fonseca, selling the Milan captain, and the first signing of the winter window emerges. On January 3rd, according to the report by Milan sports reporter Biajin from the Italian media "La Gazzetta dello Sport," in the upcoming semi-final of the Italian Super Cup against Juventus, Tomori and Jaf were paired as central defenders in training, and Tomori is expected to start against Juventus, with Gabbia possibly coming off the bench at that time. Fonseca did not pay enough attention to Tomori's use, and in the last five games he coached Milan, Tomori only came on as a substitute once. The English central defender became a marginal figure at Milan, closely linked with Juventus. With the change of leadership, after Conceicao took office, Tomori will get opportunities. This player, who previously helped Milan win the Serie A title, may experience changes in his Rossoneri career and have the chance to continue playing for Milan. Although Calabria is the captain of Milan, he has had few opportunities this season, making 10 appearances…
