Here is another weekend transfer rumors round up for AC Milan and notably Milanisti out there, nothing official as just yet but there's some slight updates both in the potential departures report along with arrivals. This names are the ones who were strongly reported by the media this past days, so there might be other possibilities in the coming weeks. 

Potential Arrival Reports: 

First off, let's start with names being rumored to arrive at Milanello this season. Mateo Musacchio (Villarreal), latest news arriving from the players agent confirming that negotiation is still on going between the Spanish club and Milan, but no agreement has been struck yet up till now. Another slightly interesting update, noting that the moves remain on the card, though there's still some issues that both sides need to solve first. Media continue to speculate that it's because that Rossoneri need to sell first of immediately get the preliminary deal signed before confirming this deal, but it could also just be another push and pull negotiation which should have some light come August.

Jose Sosa (Besiktas), there's an interesting rumor swirling in online media claiming that the player has travel from Turkey to Milan, with claims that he is being allowed to negotiate with Il Rossoneri. However, no confirmation about the truth of those report as just yet, though it seems that he is jetting away from Besiktas and Milanello could be the next destination.

Alvaro Arbeloa (Free Agent), despite recent denial from Adriano Galliani, media continue to claim the the Spanish defender could be an addition for Rossoneri, though there's rumors stating that this deal will need an approval first from Milan's potential new owner, the Chinese Consortium.

Milan Badelj (Fiorentina), Various media are reporting that the player is keen on moving to Milanello this summer, but it appears that La Viola are still not keen on letting Badelj leave as they currently refusing to set up a meeting with the player who are determined to discuss his departure. 

Adnan Januzaj (Manchester United), this report just come out apparently, English media are linking Milan with a potential move for Januzaj, who is not part of Jose Mourinho's plan this summer. The player also left on loan to Borussia Dortmund last January, but that move doesn't seem to work for him.

Juan Cuadrado(Chelsea) Italian media continue to link Rossoneri with a potential swoop for Juan Cuadrado as the player is keen on returning to Serie A. However, it remain to be seen on whether Antonio Conte will allow him to move from Chelsea this summer.

Potential Departures :

Now this are some of the names who could depart the club and have been strongly linked with other teams. Carlos Bacca, not too much update regarding the Colombian international status though rumors claiming that he might be tinkering West Ham's offer after knowing that Paris Saint-German, that are coached by Bacca's former boss, Unai Emery, has no intention in purchasing the ex-Sevilla man. PSG, confirmed by Emery are unable to buy the 29-year-old attacker as the French outfit already have three non-EU quota on their side and have no plan on selling those players. 

Jeremy Menez, the former French international reportedly will be signing for Bordeaux next week as he has a medical scheduled on Monday. The reason for that wait, probably to ensure Menez that he is fit enough to do that test, following reports about him picking up an injury during Milan's preseason in the US. 

Alessandro Matri, Italian media apparently reporting that the will be the target of Sassuolo, but only if they can advance into the next stage of Europa League. The veteran is still currently joining Milan's preseason tour in the US, but could easily be moved out later in August. He remain an interesting option for some teams, either as a back up forward or potential starting role. Latest report suggesting that Greek outfit, PAOK have made an offer for the striker, but he still keen on waiting for proposals from Italian clubs.

Mattia De Sciglio, couple Italian press speculating that Milan might make De Sciglio available again on the market as they will keep Carlos Bacca instead. However, this rumors remain only a speculation as they linked him with Liverpool that are also looking for a potential new full back. Nevertheless, it remain difficult to see Rossoneri selling the Italian international, especially before coach Montella use him in friendly games.
