Milanello Corner

      Experiencing a rather good season so far with AC Milan , head coach, Vincenzo Montella is eyeing for much longer stay at the San Siro based club. The tactician, who at the end of 2016 won his first title with Milan after lifting Italian Super Cup, stated in his latest interview that he is enjoying himself at Milanello. Albeit his team suffering a slight dip early in the year which puts them sitting seventh in current table, Montella is quite delighted with how his players have shown significant improvement especially in creating strong foundation in their playing style.

There's some interesting development in this last few days of the summer transfer market for AC Milan as Rossoneri continue their search for new midfield players that can be deployed by Vincenzo Montella. The latest name being mentioned is young Chelsea midfielder, Mario Pasalic, who spent last year on loan with Monaco, though he didn't managed to finish the season playing with them due to back injury. Pasalic has the technical and tactical tool to play Montella's type of football, but his current fitness condition will be evaluated thoroughly by Milan before they signed the midfielder on loan.

AC Milan started off their new season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Torino, in a game that filled with many positives along with some negatives which is still common considering its just the first fixture of Italian Serie A. It was definitely an interesting match in the end, though that tie can easily turn into a comfortable rout for Rossoneri, but it seems that their lack of fitness level along with that classic mental issues somewhat troubled them near the end. Now lets try to divide the positive along with negative aspect that can be seen from Milan's Serie A opener.

New AC Milan midfielder, Jose Sosa , might not be someone that sparks enthusiasm of all Rossoneri fans, but he could very well be the player who can help Vincenzo Montella immediately transmitting his football idea on the pitch. Having the experience of playing with Bayern Munich, Napoli, Atletico Madrid and also Besiktas, the Argentinian did have some problems at the early stage of his career before eventually blooming during his last two years. Now, arriving to Milan at 31-year-old, Sosa hopes that he can transmit his recent maturity and experience to help the Red and Black squad getting back into European football.

AC Milan 's attempt to bolster their midfield have been hitting some problems recently, but they eventually set out their mind in grabbing former Besiktas, Napoli and Atletico Madrid player, Jose Sosa , who supposedly arrived in a 7.5 million euro deal. The midfielder will be wearing the number 23 jersey and is keen on transferring his experience and give his best for the next two years with Vincenzo Montella's side. Already linked with the player since early days of calcio mercato, it wasn't until Milan's offer for Rodrigo Bentacour got rejected by Boca that Rossoneri finally opted to get the player that Montella recommended. 

There's still more than a week before Italian Serie A finally start its first fixture and AC Milan continue to work their way in the market, especially following recent preliminary agreement which should provide more insurance in terms of funds for Rossoneri. Nevertheless, after Gustavo Gomez's arrival, Milan still haven't confirm any other names, although there's one interesting midfielder who the club are currently negotiating, he is Boca Juniors' talent, Rodrigo Bentacur, who has also been scouted by several teams, including Juvenus who actually have an option for him following their previous deal for selling Carlos Teves to the Argentinian Club.

The long awaited and delayed preliminary agreement for AC Milan 's sale to a Chinese consortium have officially been done today, in a sudden rush. This once again prove how fans should not just swallow every rumors being thrown out of the media, especially when those minor reports arriving only because the press were not receiving any latest info. Anyway, Rossoneri's preliminary agreement was confirmed by the club's company owner, Finivest, issuing an official statement which basically said that Silvio Berlusconi along with representative from China, Han Li have signed an agreement for Milan's sale worth 740 million Euro.
