                           MILAN INTERESTED IN ANOTHER ENGLISH CHELSEA STAR

As per Italian outlet Calciomercato (h/t Football.London), Serie A champions AC Milan retain their interest in Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek for a possible move in the January transfer window.

          REPORT: AC MILAN PREPARE OFFER TO SIGN MIRALEM PJANIC THIS SUMMER

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, AC Milan will look to secure the services of Miralem Pjanic in a loan deal in the summer transfer window. The Serie A giants are preparing an offer to prise the out-of-favour Bosnian midfielder away from Barcelona ahead of the 2022/23 season. Miralem Pjanic has been one of the worst transfers in recent memory, with his big-money move to Barcelona barely paying any dividends. The 32-year-old was a peripheral figure in his debut season at Camp Nou, with Ronald Koeman barely utilising him in the 2020/21 campaign.

Barcelona then shipped him out on loan to Besiktas last summer, but the Bosnian international endured a mixed bag of a stint with the Turkish club. Pjanic is now back with Barcelona, but his future is shrouded under a cloud of uncertainty, with the Blaugrana ready to offload him in the ongoing transfer window. However, the Catalan giants have not succeeded in finding him a serious suitor yet, even though Ligue 1 giants Lyon and Marseille have shown interest in him. But Pjanic’s next destination could be AC Milan, with the Rossoneri keen on prising him away from Barcelona this summer. Continue reading           REPORT: AC MILAN PREPARE OFFER TO SIGN MIRALEM PJANIC THIS SUMMER

               REAL MADRID CONSIDER SIGNING AC MILAN STRIKER OLIVIER GIROUD

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Olivier Giroud is the subject of interest from Real Madrid over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The reigning La Liga champions are hoping to pounce on the 35-year-old striker’s potentially reduced role to prise him away from AC Milan. Olivier Giroud has been one of the most underrated strikers of the last half a decade, as he was a handy contributor to Chelsea’s success before making his mark for AC Milan in the 2021/22 season. The Frenchman also played a pivotal role in helping Les Bleus win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, even though he was not prolific.


The 35-year-old had a solid record of 14 goals and four assists in 38 appearances for AC Milan in the 2021/22 season, chipping in with crucial goals to help deliver the Serie A title. But the arrival of Divock Origi this summer might hamper Giroud’s status in Stefano Pioli’s squad. Such a situation has captured the attention of Real Madrid.

According to SPORT, Clement Lenglet could be the first player to leave Barcelona this summer with the French defender attracting interest from several clubs across Europe.

It is not clear as to which club has tabled the offer, but the report adds that Lenglet is on the radars of many clubs, with AC Milan and Inter Milan the latest teams to show an interest in the French international.

Lenglet has completed four seasons with Barcelona, having joined the club from La Liga rivals Sevilla in 2018.
