I Hate AC Milan

Chelsea star Jorginho is proving to be very different breed compared to former Premier League man Alberto Acquilani. There were fears that the Italian could go the way of his compatriot whilst in action for Chelsea. The 26-year old had a very good season at Napoli last term, and decided to follow his boss Maurizio Sarri to England for a fresh adventure.

Former Arsenal player turn pundit Paul Mersonwas concerned that the player could be another flop like Acquilani at Anfield. Acquilani came through the AS Roma youth system before making the senior team in 2003. He did well to catch the attention of the Kopites who made a big move for him in 2009 but the player failed to perform.

Radamel Falcao has said that he is honoured to be linked with a club of AC Milan’s calibre, though he is currently only focused on his job with AS Monaco and Colombia. In a recent interview with Premium Sport, the 32-year-old said: “I read and heard of Milan interest, so it is an honour that a club like that is tracking me. I follow Italian football and know that Milan are the second club in the world in terms of Champions League titles, but at the moment I am under contract with Monaco and am focused only on Monaco and Colombia. But it’s obvious that I like Italy and Italian football.”

The Rossoneri are understood to be eyeing a new midfielder, winger and a striker for the summer transfer window and they were surely be buoyed by the comments from Falcao. Nevertheless, the club are currently in UEFA trouble after their breach of the Financial Fair Play regulations and any penalties levied could hamper their chances of spending on fresh recruits without offloading a few.

AC Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso has warned the club’s faithful not to expect another raft of signing during the summer transfer window. The Rossoneri were one of the big spenders in Europe last year as they brought in 11 different recruits, but this has not enhanced their chances of finishing in the top four.

Super-agent Mino Raiola has reportedly urged his client Gianluigi Donnarumma to pursue a fresh challenge away from AC Milan at the end of the season. The teenager had come under extreme criticism from the fans after he turned down a contract earlier in the summer, but he eventually committed his future to the Rossoneri until the summer of 2022.

Silvio Berlusconi, the former owner and president of AC Milan, has spoken of his pain of the club’s current plight and also highlighted his disappointment of how the club has been run since his departure.

The 76-year-old ended his 31-year association with the club when he sold them to a Chinese-led consortium last April. Since then, the new owners splashed out over €200 million in signings on eleven new players but Milan are a whopping 15 points off Napoli in top spot. They are also 12 points away from the top four in what has been a nightmare start.

Former AC Milan legend Marcel Desailly has called on the club to show some patience with manager Vincenzo Montella even though they have started the season poorly and said that the owners have to take their share of the blame.

The Italian giants are currently seventh in Serie A, thirteen points behind leaders Napoli and that is despite their new Chinese owners spending over £170 million on 11 new faces in the summer.

Switzerland international Ricardo Rodriguez reportedly turned down advances from the likes of Napoli and Inter in order to secure his move to AC Milan, agent Gianluca di Domenico has revealed.

The left-back had been strongly linked with a Premier League switch last winter, but the ambitious project at the Rossoneri was too hard to ignore for the former Wolfsburg man.

AC Milan have announced the signing of Croatian striker Nikola Kalinic from fellow Italian club Fiorentina.

The 29-year-old has joined the Rossoneri on an initial season-long loan with the obligation to buy at the end of the campaign. The former Blackburn Rovers man has signed a contract through to the summer of 2021, and he becomes the Rossoneri's 11th signing of the summer transfer window.

Switzerland international Ricardo Rodriguez has become AC Milan's third signing of the summer transfer window after they finalised an initial £13m package with Wolfsburg.

The 24-year-old will link up with the likes of Mateo Musacchio and Franck Kessie at the San Siro outfit next season.

Vincenzo Montella has said that Serie A side AC Milan are working at convincing highly rated first choice keeper Gianlugi Donnarunmma to stay with the club.

The 18-year old has been a subject of speculation to several top clubs but the club wants to keep him.
