Milanello Corner

  AC Milan are eyeing their second league win this season and their first at home as they face Bologna at San Siro this Sunday. Unfortunately, Massimiliano Allegri's side will still be playing without their star forward, Rafael Leao, for this weekend's tie. 

  AC Milan will still be without their star striker, Rafael Leao, for their weekend Serie A clash against Lecce on Friday, as Massimiliano Allegri doesn't want to risk the Portuguese international. Aside from Leao, Milan will also miss their summer signing, Ardon Jashari, who picked up an injury during the Rossoneri's latest training session. 

    Christian Pulisic will reportedly miss AC Milan's upcoming two preseason friendlies, against Leeds United on Saturday and Chelsea on Sunday. The USMNT star is currently recovering from an ankle injury he picked up during the Rossoneri's latest preseason match against Liverpool.

AC Milan are eyeing to get their first home win for the new season following their 2-0 away victory over Bologna in their Serie A opener. Stefano Pioli's men will be facing a tricky encounter though as they face Torino at the San Siro this Saturday. 

  AC Milan are close to seeing their Croatian striker, Ante Rebic leave the club this summer with reports linking him with Besiktas. Meanwhile, once Rebic's move is confirmed, the Rossoneri will reportedly grab another signing, which will be the American international midfielder, Yunus Musah. 

The latest 2010 World Cup results have put the Italian soccer's credibility at stake as they fail to qualify from the group stage despite their defending champion status. Making things much more worse, the Azzurri fail to win a single game on the group which consist of opponents that on paper are weaker than them. That epic failure has slammed the face of the footballing country's soccer federation, resulting the implementation of some new rules and projects to get more quality local players for the Azzurri's future.

Starting from today, I will try to capture the current transfer movement in this silly season, which already started despite the fact that the market won't be officially opened until July 1. However, some new signings already arrived for the Rossoneri and rumors keeps on coming to provide plenty early excitement along with unnecessary disappointment from Milanisti.

When some fans are busy arguing which super stars that they're looking forward to see at Ac Milan , the Ganso mania, the Fabregas, and everything. Personally, I'm more excited with the arrival of Stephan El Shaarawy along with the return of Alberto Paloschi , who both will be joined with Marco Fossati , Simone Calvano , Mattia Valoti and Mattia De Sciglio in the pre-season training that starts on July 12. Those players are the youngsters that I really hope can start showing their talents to Masimiliano Allegri  and forced some good playing time in the upcoming season.

Unlike the much more widely reported England footballers, Italian serie A players haven't had the super wide publication as those fellow sportsman in the Queen Elizabeth's country, especially when it comes to the personal luxury stuffs. Just like other players from outside of Italy, Serie A players also have a luxurious way of living which includes the possession of expensive cars to fill their garage and accompany their daily activities.

Here's the highlights from Varese v Ac Milan game: The home side shock the Rossoneri with two goals in the first half, Allegri's side played much better in the second half but fail to get the break through until the final whistle.

Not so long ago Milan 's president Silvio Berlusconi shouted an interesting statement to the media and fans saying that if there's an opportunity he won't mind spending some cash to buy a champion or world class player for the club. Lately, the statement has also been confirmed by Ill Rossoneri's director, Adriano Galliani, who was quoted saying that if there's a chance the team would purchase a world class player this season. Surely both of those statements create such a buzz in the media, as the press begin to link Milan with many top players that could be joining them this summer

The rumors spreading this days are getting heavy on Ac Milan camp as the Italian giant are seriously listing candidates to replace Leonardo as the team's new coach. Names are being brought out by media as speculation grows more intense until the day the management confirmed who will be the new coach, up till now there have been few names that the media speculated from Marco Van Basten to Roberto Donadoni as the latest inclusion. Certainly the names being revealed the the media are probably not all true, as the club's management haven't actually revealed clear names about the ones who could change Leo next season.

This past few days, the rumor commode is running very fast in the AC Milan headquarters as reports from Italy claim that the Italian giants are very close in signing some new players, despite there haven't been any clear confirmation regarding Milan 's next season's coach. Until today, the players that have been heavily linked and believed will soon arrive at Milannello are Rafael Toloi, Nicolas Otamendi and the latest the continuing raid for Dennis Aogo.

The latest reports from Italy suggested that Milan is currently having a serious discussion with Juventus in talking about some of their owned and co-owned players. Most of the rumors on the net revealed some of the names that is being “asked” by Milan are David Trezeguet, Paolo De Ceglie , Felipe Melo , Gigi Buffon , Amauri and the latest one is Domenico Criscito . Personally I believe not all of those players will be joining Milan, the fact is Galliani and co are probably asking for price and status whether they are available for transfers.

The Fun fearless Milan under the new Leonardo regime, has finally put a little break in their last two games, a draw against Zurich and a shocking defeat against Palermo has really stop the Rossonerri good runs in a few months. Seeing the team play, the new formation does make Milan improves a lot, they started to entertain the crowd but there's a hint of imbalance in the squad that makes them somehow vulnerable at times. On their day, Milan can really trashed their opponents but at times they can have lots of troubles breaking dawn defenses or defending a counter attack. Those two effect can be seen from the latest two games, against Zurich they were unable to break down Zurich's park the bus kind of defending despite the Swiss team ends the game with 10 men. Than against Palermo who was playing a similar style of Milan, not only the rossoneri failed to put one goal on the opponents net, they we caught twice on the counter. Off course there is a reasonable arguments for ...

Regarding Bonera, who has been absent from the latter part of last season, the news revealed that he already managed to follow all the training session with the team. Which surely means that he will be at Leonardo's disposal as soon as possible, maybe even in the near serie A game against Sampdoria, Bonera will be filling the bench. Meanwhile as for Janku, it might take a little bit longer as he is currently still undergoing a special program to recover his fitness after the removal of a plat on his left ankle. However, it is still a question mark about Janku's future in Milan as previous rumors stated that he w...

It was an emotional win in the end for the Milan boys as after the final whistle everyone congratulate the Hunter for his two goals which were his first ever on a Milan shirt. The most interesting thing is on both goals he collaborate with Pippo which in theory is a bit hard to digest as the two are supposed to be strikers with the same characteristic, however in terms of extraordinary situation the two somehow manage to combine well and Hunt finally gets his break. As for the second goal, it was obvious that the Dutch striker has finally find his confidence as he put in a class goal with a lovely chip that beats Andujar for the second time in just a minute after the first goal. The big question is would this finally be the real turning point for Hunt's future in Milan? only time will tell, at the moment surely the striker would cherish his two g...
