AC Milan have one of the smallest squads in Serie A in terms of numbers, but Massimiliano Allegri continues to find new resources within it. For some time, there were question marks about what the summer window brought to Milan. The squad underwent a big downsizing to just 19 outfield players, and the new signings certainly took some time to adapt.
Ardon Jashari's first season at AC Milan has certainly not been a walk in the park for various reasons, but it feels like he is back on the right track. As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) recall, the negotiations between Milan and Club Brugge for Jashari dragged on for a couple of months and it seemed like there were times the deal was off. Then, his first six months in Milan were a bit of a rollercoaster too.
AC Milan do not return to action until Friday night against Pisa, but information is emerging on the conditions of certain players. After Tuesday's win against Bologna and a recovery session the next day, Massimiliano Allegri gave his players some rest. Milan will not play this weekend, as the match against Como was postponed to February 18th due to San Siro being used for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
The central midfield department is the deepest in AC Milan's entire squad, and Massimiliano Allegri is still searching for the perfect trio. As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) report this morning, the right midfield position in the 3-5-2 the only spot in the starting line-up without a designated starter. Youssouf Fofana held it at the start of the season, but as the months passed, others got their chance.
More information has emerged regarding the AC Milan fourth kit which will be released soon, in collaboration with PUMA and Slam Jam. According to Footy Headlines, the kits come in white and red versions with a shiny, metallic or glossy finish, which is 'inspired by late 1990s/early 2000s design aesthetics'. It is believed that they will be released later this month.
The Juventus directors are working to secure the USA international and fend off the onslaught of clubs targeting the American on a free transfer. They name Marseille, Milan, Inter and Roma as being interested above all. Allegri appears to be keen on what would be a reunion with McKennie, who is looking ahead to a home World Cup next summer, given that he remains a key player for the United States national team.
AC Milan Women suffered a setback on Sunday afternoon as they were beaten by Roma away from home, in a game with just one goal. Milan Femminile had another positive result on Sunday afternoon as they beat Genoa 2-1 thanks to a late goal. Again it was Kayleigh van Dooren who netted a brace, opening the scoring then bagging two minutes from time after Dompig had put her through on goal.
The visitors were on top in the first half, having a great chance in the 20th minute when Adenyo missed a header from close range. In the 38th minute, Eletu hit the post with a free kick from the edge of the box: his left-footed shot grazed the woodwork, but the ball went wide. Torriani made a good save to deny Marin, too.
The city of Milan has always been an interesting touristic destination for people around the world. Here's what Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played for both Inter Milan and AC Milan at different stages of his extremely illustrious career, thinks is necessary to experience.

Next week's clash against Pisa will be AC Milan's first shot at revenge, following four now infamous games earlier in the season. Just as Milan's strong record against the top rivals has been highlighted this season, the same can be said for their struggles against the bottom-half sides. It all stems from four games, really: the defeat against Cremonese, as well as the draws against Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo.
AC Milan Women have announced the signings of Ewelina Kamczyk and Mawa Sesay in the last few days, strengthening the side after a pretty big departure. Two weeks ago, Milan confirmed the sale of their star forward Evelyn Ijeh to NC Courage. It is believed that the Rossoneri got a decent chunk of cash, especially since Ijeh explained that the decision to leave wasn't made by her. Nevertheless, having lost a pretty important player, Milan decided that it was time to make some reinforcements.
On Saturday last week, Milan confirmed that Maignan had signed a new contract with the club until 2031. As such, a tiring saga was put to an end and it was certainly something for the Rossoneri fans to celebrate. In addition to his fantastic performances on the pitch, the fact that the previous contract was expiring in the summer made the situation thorny for Milan. They did enough to convince the player in the end, even if a lot of clubs were interested.
Milan Primavera suffered a tough defeat against Lazio earlier this afternoon, definitely held back by the fact that two of their players were sent off. After the big defeat against Hellas Verona last weekend, the hope was that Giovanni Renna's boys would be able to turn things around this time out. However, an in-form Lazio squashed their hopes and yet another defeat was registered.
When the match starts, anything can happen. I want to win every time my team plays. Against Milan, we need a certain type of tactical work, but on Friday we will enter the pitch to get a result.

It seems increasingly likely that AC Milan will return to the Champions League next season, which will be a financial boost. But it will not be the only boost they receive. At present, it seems difficult to imagine a season finale where Milan are not in the premier European competition next season. They sit pretty comfortably in second, and there are no signs of them slowing down to the point of no European football.
With the mercato just closing, and Jean-Philippe Mateta not joining AC Milan, Oli and Anthony looked at a few others who could've stayed or joined. The mercato is a strange time, isn't it. Ultimately, it is a very volatile period for football clubs, and we saw this again with Mateta's failed move to Italy, which we have recently written a feature about. However, his move is not the only like it. There are several 'What If' moments from the past few years
It was a rather quiet month for Milan anyway, with January only seeing a few new faces, as opposed to the churn of last year. This was seemingly always going to be the case, though, with reports suggesting as much before Christmas. Nevertheless, things could have been different, with it clear that another striker was desired. Initially, it seemed Francesco Camarda could have returned, but a shoulder injury impacted things. So, the focus turned to Jean-Philippe Mateta. However, he also did not arrive due to injury.
This season, Massimiliano Allegri and Milan have been massively unlucky with injuries. Unfortunately, two players have suffered more than others. Of course, that duo in question has been Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic. Whilst they have had to overcome their own issues, they have also struggled to play together. When one returns, the other is out and vice versa. As a result, they have not be able to combine as the Rossoneri had hoped.
To be honest... no. Moratti paid me a lot of compliments, but I've always dreamed of playing in the Premier League and for Real Madrid, and luckily, I achieved that. "And then I'll let you in on a secret: as a kid, I supported Milan, and a few hours ago [at the event] I met Galliani. He said he saw me as a good fit for Berlusconi's Milan, but they never came forward either..."
It would be fair to say that he doesn't agree with what the former Inter striker has had to say about the Portuguese. Emanuele: "Antonio, aren't you making all this fuss over Leao because you're actually in love with him, and you see in him the only refinement and bravado in Serie A, just like you did? Or are you also a results-oriented player who criticises talent?"
When Niclas Füllkrug first arrived at AC Milan, many turned their noses up at the German. However, he is playing his role perfectly so far. It was clear from the off that Milan were not signing Füllkrug to be the first choice striker for Massimiliano Allegri. But, with no physical option in his team, and the injury issues plaguing his front line, it was a deal that made sense. Low cost with no guarantees on the future, all parties could benefit from the move.
Whilst the senior window was quiet for AC Milan, the same cannot be said for the Futuro project, who have received a few new talents to develop. It always seemed like the first team mercato would be rather quiet, and last month was for the most part. Of course, there were rumours throughout, and even a bit of late drama. However, that is part and parcel of January. Though, there was some investment in the mercato.
