AC Milan Was into the Last 16 As PSG Was Knocked Out

PSG is no longer in the UEFA competition as AC Milan progress to the next stage. It has ignited various bits of gossip about players leaving the group throughout the late spring move window. A loan agreement with PSG may pique the interest of AC Milan. One of the midfielders that Luis Camps, the sports advisor, brought into the club was Renato. Although, Renato Sanches may be left permanently. L’Equipe says that PSG may let go of Sanches and AC Milan have the chance of getting the striker. There is, however, a catch, the Italian team might not be interested in buying the player outright. Milan might be keener for a loan deal instead.

In the competition’s last 16, Milan defeated Spurs 1-0 over two legs to advance to the round of eight alongside Inter and Napoli, as well as holders Real Madrid and Benfica, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich. At UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the draw for the quarterfinals and semifinals was held without any restrictions on who could face whom. As a result, it was possible to draw a team from the same Serie A, which was what transpired. The Rossoneri will play at San Siro for the first leg, while the winner of the tie will face the winner of Inter vs. Benfica. Milan and Napoli were the last two balls drawn. Read more… »

AC Milan Director Defends Team Performance

AC Milan Looks at Talents to Strengthen Midfield Positions

 

AC Milan has been active in the transfer market this January. One opportunity might land from Spain for this team. Currently, the team is looking to make inclusions in the attacking positions. Two players who are returning to this position are Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Divock Origi. There is, however, no guarantee that either of these two players can make significant contributions. That is because the Belgian player has injury problems while the Swede player might be past his prime playing years.

 

Milan might not be able to spend big on players this season. However, they are looking to include names such as that Arnaut Danjuma. He has amassed several appearances in Premier League games including two goals this very season. His contract with Villareal is set to expire. He is also interested in Everton. Rossoneri is probably going to attempt to sign him. This will be probably by end of the transfer window when the Dutchman has not been signed on by any other club.  Read more… »
