Ranking the 5 best AC Milan players in 2025

Who are AC Milan's best players right now in 2025? 5. RW Christian Pulisic Although a certain segment of Serie A fans hailing from a certain country will overrate Christian Pulisic and bloviate about how he's a better player than Rafael Leao despite having a fraction of the Portuguese international's ability, there's no questioning the fact that Pulisic is one of the best wingers in Serie A in his own right and is capable of outplaying his left-sided teammate for stretches. Pulisic has gone from overhyped Dortmund prospect and inconsistent Chelsea rotational piece to one of the best attacking players in Serie A and someone AC Milan can legitimately build their team around. He's also become more unselfish in Italian football, improving as a passer and creator with a superior work ra...

5 swap deals top Serie A clubs must make in summer 2025

Swap deals don't get made nearly enough in football, and there's no league with a more enticing slate of potential trades than Serie A with so many clubs hoping to reach that next level, whether it's winning the Scudetto every year or getting over the Champions League hump. Here are five trades for every contending team in the Italian top flight to consider making in the summer 2025 transfer window. Juventus swap Dusan Vlahovic for Randal Kolo Muani with PSG The first swap deal on the list is the most obvious one. Dusan Vlahovic joined Juventus with a lot of hype in 2022 for a fee of over 80 million euros, but he has failed to live up to that hefty price tag - or the weight of being the Juventus No. 9. Vlahovic has so much talent, but it's not working out for him in Turin. With Thi...

The 5 best attackers for Barcelona to sign in summer 2025 transfer window

Barcelona have the most exciting attacking football in the world right now and recently flexed that might with an incredible, potentially title-deciding 4-2 comeback win over Atletico Madrid. But Barcelona are always looking to get even better offensively. There are two opportunities to make upgrades for the future, as Barca currently don't have a true right-footed left winger. With Robert Lewandowski getting older at 36, there is also the opportunity to go for a young striker who can split minutes with the Polish legend and eventually supplant the former Bundesliga superstar. Here are five star attackers worth Barca's time in the summer 2025 transfer market. Eintracht Frankfurt ST Hugo Ekitike Hugo Ekitike has found his footing in Frankfurt and become one of the most must-see p...

Three summer 2025 transfers to take Arsenal to the next level

Here are three players Arsenal must target in the summer 2025 transfer window if they want to reach the next level. Atalanta ST Mateo Retegui Everyone knows that Arsenal need a new striker in the summer 2025 transfer window, and after balking on signing a new No. 9 last summer, Mikel Arteta and friends are paying dearly for their lack of ambition by falling out of the title race entirely in 2024/25, especially amidst Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury. From Viktor Gyokers and Benjamin Sesko to Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, Arsenal have been linked to everyone under the sun, no pun intended, ahead of the summer market. But one name that should get mentioned more often is the free-scoring Italian international Mateo Retegui, who has been wanted by virtually everyone in Serie A but has...

Chelsea begin €100M negotiations for world-class forward

Chelsea have been the biggest spenders in world football since Todd Boehly took the club over, and after embarrassing stumbles to begin his tenure, the American owner has the Blues back in the top four in the Premier League and with a real long-term outlook on taking the title from the grasp of the Liverpool and Manchester City battle. Although Liverpool clearly have the leg-up in the 2024/25 season, Chelsea may only be a couple of high-impact summer 2025 transfer away from usurping the Reds - and the Citizens - as the kings of the English top flight. This past summer, Chelsea added a couple of more ambitious winger signings to their existing attacking nucleus of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, who made strides this season, in Pedro Neto of Wolves, Joao Felix of Barcelona and Atleti...
