According to today’s edition of Corriere Dello Sport, as cited by MilanNews, Milan are ready to launch an assault on the 19-year-old. The competition is fierce, with the likes of Juventus and Napoli also interested in the player.


Kaio Jorge’s contract with Santos is set to expire in December so he could arrive on a free transfer ahead of the second half of the season. However, per the newspaper, Milan are ready to put €10m on the table to get him immediately.

Paolo Maldini has already confirmed their intentions to sign a young striker but it remains to be seen if they are willing to spend €10m. They have already spent a lot and the financial climate isn’t exactly great.

🚨 There is difference between Milan and Santos for Kaio Jorge. Milan would offer €5-6M while Santos ask for €10M. Jorge’s contract with Santos expires in December

Milan-Pro Sesto: from 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-2 with Theo Hernández freer

Daniele Triolo

July 18 - Milan



In the friendly against Pro Sesto he hit the position of Theo Hernández, Milan defender: the new tactical weapon of the Rossoneri

Yesterday afternoon, at Milanello , Milan beat Pro Sesto 6-0. Theo Hernández , AC Milan defender, was among the most positive notes of the first friendly test of the season. Despite, beyond all, the game could not say so much since it was the first trip after ten days of work in Carnago.

Theo Hernández, however, was noticed because, on the occasion of the first goal of Milan, signed by Ismaël Bennacer , he made 60 meters ball and chain in the restart after a corner kick beaten by the opponents. The Frenchman then unloaded the ball to the former Empoli midfielder who left no chance for the visiting goalkeeper.

Theo Hernández, however, also made people talk because of his position on the pitch. In the 45 ' in which he was in the game, in fact, as evidenced by' Tuttosport 'today on newsstands, the left-back of Mr. Stefano Pioli 's 4-2-3-1 was, in practice, a winger in midfield in 3 -5-2 in the attack phase.



This is because, with Matteo Gabbia (deployed right-back) climbing to make the third central defense alongside Fikayo Tomori and Alessio Romagnoli , Theo was able to enjoy more freedom, on the left, given the 'slip' of Rade Krunic towards the half the pitch and Daniel Maldini in the role of second striker.

A tactical innovation that, of course, can be seen again during the races that count during the season that has just begun

CSKA Moscow have lowered their asking price for Nikola Vlasic increasing AC Milan’s chances for a positive outcome.
AC Milan, after the return of Brahim Diaz on loan, plan to give Stefano Pioli the starting attacking midfielder who must replace the departed Hakan Calhanoglu. The targets are several but the name in pole position, appreciated by the Rossoneri management for characteristics and age, is that of Nikola Vlasic.



The 23-year-old has done a great job in Russia with CSKA Moscow and with the Croatian national team. Vlasic is a player that gives a great contribution in attack and has a keen eye for goal.

AC Milan are already in contacts CSKA Moscow but their opening asking price of 35 million euros was deemed excessive. The Rossoneri proposed to sign the player initially on loan with an option to buy. Talks are frozen at the moment but according to the latest reports from Russia things could change quickly.


CSKA Moscow appear to have lowered their demands. TuttoMercatoWeb reports that CSKA Moscow are now open to let Nikola Vlasic move on loan. However, the Russian club would like the loan to be with obligation rather tha option to buy. In addition, CSKA have even lowered their economic claims from 35 million euros to just under 30 million according to TuttoMercatoWeb.

Interesting conditions that can lead Maldini and Massara to re-evaluate their stance. Finally, TuttoMercatoWeb adds that CSKA Moscow would also accept a loan with an initial option to buy which should become an obligation under simple conditions like Champions League qualification for next season.

After loan bid turned down by Manchester United for Alex Telles, AS Roma offered €12.5m [add ons included] to Palmeiras for Matias Viña as new left back. 🇺🇾 @SkySport #MUFC #Roma

There’s still no agreement with Palmeiras - but negotiations ongoing. Viña is the main option.

📰 #Tuttosport: With the 3-5-2 tried yesterday during the friendly, #Pioli would be logically thinking to play with both Ibra and #Giroud together, when the match allows it.

Pierluigi #Gollini is getting closer to #Tottenham from #Atalanta on loan with option to buy (€15M), which will become an obligation upon reaching certain conditions. Ready a contract until 2026 (1+4). #transfers #THFC
