Transfer Rumors: AC Milan offer Liverpool blockbuster Federico Chiesa swap deal

Liverpool surprised a lot of fans around the world this summer when they acquired Federico Chiesa from Juventus, spending just 12 million euros to sign a player who was widely regarded as the most talented on the Bianconeri. Chiesa arrived in Turin during the summer 2020 transfer window and was an immediate success, providing a spark alongside Alvaro Morata, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, and Dejan Kulusevski in what was the latest decent Juventus attack. He then shined at Euro 2020 for champions Italy, but an ACL tear and poor management from the highly defensive Max Allegri led to the former Fiorentina star completely falling out of the picture after initially being tabbed as the future of Juve. Many thought new manager Thiago Motta would back Chiesa and coax a bounce-back yea...

AC Milan are making a move that will shred Real Madrid’s biggest weakness

AC Milan and Real Madrid will go head to head on Tuesday night in the Champions League with both sides having a point to prove to their fans. Real are coming off a 4-0 Clasico drubbing, while Milan have been mired in controversy all season long since hiring Paulo Fonseca. Real Madrid are the favorites despite their horrible loss to Barcelona, because experienced Madridistas will tell you of all the times the club have bounced back stronger than ever from a humiliation that woke them up by shaking the foundation to its core. As Real Madrid await the return of Rodrygo Goes in the attack, Milan are also set to welcome back a world-class attacking player who hasn't been starting by choice. Rafael Leao, as usual, has become the center of controversy in Milan, except the situation is ve...

Serie A: How Juve can exploit Inter; AC Milan’s barometer game; Roma could lose ugly

Roma could lose ugly vs. Fiorentina Roma were able to get the three points they needed at mid-week by grinding out a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv, but given their lone goal was an Artem Dovbyk spot kick, the Giallorossi did little to convince their doubters that they are on the right track. Last weekend, Roma lost their second game of the Serie A season against reigning champions Inter Milan 1-0, which doesn't sound like that bad of a result until you realize the Giallorossi have also only won two games and sit 10th in the league after 8 matches played. Look, Roma can cycle through as many managers as they want to, but the reality is they have a poorly constructed squad and one of the worst ownership groups in the entire league. Roma have managed to score only eight goals in eight ga...

Serie A Top 6 Predictions after Juve and Inter grind, while Milan and Napoli survive

6. Fiorentina Alright, before we talk about anything else, we have to praise Andrea Colpani. This guy is legitimately one of the best playmakers in European football, but I'll bet you only the most diehard of Serie A fans have heard of him. Colpani was a top player for Monza for a couple of seasons, delighting with his set pieces and eye for the spectacular from range, and now he's finally off the bag in Firenze with a brace for the Viola. The 25-year-old was the star of the show for Fiorentina in their 6-0 romping of Lecce, scoring an especially delightful volley goal into the absolute postage stamp of the top left portion of the net. Colpani's start to the 2024/25 Serie A season hadn't exactly been ideal, but that display against Lecce is very much a sign of things to come for ...

Serie A burning questions: Christian Pulisic for MVP, Juve’s breakout FW, the problem with Roma’s squad

What is the problem with Roma's squad? Roma weren't embarrassed on Sunday against defending champions Inter Milan, but they went down without so much as a whimper in an attacking sense, getting shut out by the league's most talented defense in a 1-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico. As Roma toil in the midtable and their ultras battle against their putrid ownership, it's fair to want to take a turn towards the sporting and wonder how a team that made two brilliant summer signings in the attack could be so thoroughly boring - and subar. Roma are suffering from the same problem they had that Jose Mourinho papered over with his brilliance, even when the Giallorossi were in Conference League nd Europa League Finals. This squad is completely unbalanced. There is no real attacking width, ...

2024/25 Champions League Predictions for Matchday 2

Arsenal vs. PSG PSG don't feel like a legitimate Champions League threat in an era without Kylian Mbappe, who seemed to be the only reason why the Parisians were threats to reach the semifinals after Neymar was fully washed on the beach like a sullen hermit crab without a shell. Joao Neves gives PSG reason for optimism, but when your standout attacking player is Ousmane Dembele heading into the year 2025, you don't really stand much of a chance against a Premier League title contender. Arsenal have their own problems after a surprisingly complacent summer transfer window from an attacking perspective, but, then again, you don't need much more than Bukayo Saka and the Champions League version of Gabriel Jesus to dismantle PSG's defense. Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 PSG Aston Villa vs....

Paulo Fonseca’s job will be decided by AC Milan vs. Inter Milan match

AC Milan are 10th in Serie A after four fixtures, with Venezia being the only victory in what has been an embarrassing start to the 2024/25 league season. As if Milan's performances in the Italian top flight weren't bad enough, the Rossoneri laid another egg in their Champions League opener, and the 3-1 scoreline against Liverpool honestly flatters them; they could have easily lost by five. Milan manager Paulo Fonseca was hired under controversy, as many Milan supporters and even club legends didn't think the former Roma and Lille manager was nearly good enough to take the club to the next level. Those concerns are coming to the fore, and Fonseca is already playing for his job, with Milan linked to big names to replace him like former Lazio and Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri and fo...

AC Milan News: The four possible Paulo Fonseca replacements

It hasn't taken long for AC Milan to second guess their own decision to hire Paulo Fonseca, who replaced Stefano Pioli despite coming in with zero major league titles whereas Pioli did win Serie A a couple of years ago. After four matches in the league, Milan are in the middle of the table, while they just came off an embarrassing performance in the Champions League against another traditional power of the competition, Liverpool. Milan seemed to be on the rise under Pioli, but, now, they risk falling flat on their faces after front office mismanagement. Fonseca is a scapegoat, in a way, but many around Milan, including club legends, felt the Fonseca hire was a poor one to begin with. According to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio, there are four candidates to replace Fonseca. Forme...

AC Milan make contact with Thomas Tuchel

With poor results in Serie A mounting and now a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, AC Milan could make a drastic move at coach and rectify their controversial decision to hire Paulo Fonseca as the replacement for Stefano Pioli. If Milan were looking to hire a coach to take them to the next level from Pioli, who won Serie A and reached the Champions League semifinal a season later, then Fonseca wasn't it. Now, Milan are trying to find an elite option to recover the squad's chances, and they could be turning to an intriguing name who has Champions League winning experience. According to a report from Milan News, AC Milan have reached out to former Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Chelsea, and PSG coach Thomas Tuchel, who was courted heavily by Manchester United earlier this ye...
