Fode Ballo-Toure was mainly brought in by Milan to act as the deputy for Theo Hernandez, who is the undisputed starter on the left. However, there is one solution that would allow them to play together.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Stefano Pioli is studying several formation options ahead of the season as he wants to be more flexible. And one of the ideas that he is evaluating is playing Ballo-Toure and Hernandez together.


The 4-2-3-1 formation is still the primary one, there is no doubt about it, but with two competent strikers the manager could switch to a 4-4-2. And with that change, Hernandez could also be moved further up the pitch to left-mid.

This would allow Pioli to field Ballo-Toure at left-back, giving more freedom to Hernandez attacking-wise as he wouldn’t have to track back as much. Of course, this is an idea that might be useful for all the games, but might work for some.

Milan have been very active on the transfer market thus far and it seems there is more to come. After some reports broke last night, Rubin Kazan star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has now dropped a huge hint on Instagram.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the Rossoneri and yesterday, Metaratings.ru reported that the deal is done. On Instagram, the player himself has now seemingly dropped a hint.

“Dream come true”, he wrote, publishing a picture of himself on Instagram stories. Given that the links have been insistent in the last few days, it certainly seems like a hint

📰 @PietroMazzara: Josip #Iličić 🇸🇮 has always been the favorite. #ACMilan is looking for a profile more suited to the club's age system. #CSKA Moscow wants €30M for #Vlašić 🇭🇷. #Sabitzer 🇦🇹 is another profile but he costs €18M, the contract of the player expires in June 2022. https://t.co/ifxc7kO7rL
 
"They did not go looking for new profiles, they only got #BalloTouré who will be the backup of #Theo and Giroud for Ibrahimovic. Are we sure that #Pioli does not want to change the system of play? #Giroud and #Ibra are alternatives, I do not think they can play together." https://t.co/0QN8Yuu5ca
 
🎙️ Giancarlo Padovan to #SkySport24:

"We have to see how #ACMilan will play, having two center forwards who have similar characteristics. #Milan has not made a good market, it has only consolidated presences that were already there." https://t.co/QU9pKyXmXF

Insigne wants Napoli stay
by Football Italia
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Lorenzo Insigne doesn’t want to leave Napoli this summer and could stay at the Stadio Maradona without signing a contract extension before the beginning of the season.

His current deal expires in June 2022 and the Partenopei have not yet begun talks to discuss a potential contract extension for their captain.

Previous reports claimed Napoli need the 30-year-old to take a pay cut on his €5m-a-year salary, while Insigne wants a pay rise.


La Gazzetta dello Sport, however, reports the Napoli captain is ready to accept the same salary to stay at Napoli, but a meeting between the club and his agent has not been scheduled yet.

Insigne will return from holidays at the beginning of August to train with the rest of the team from Thursday 5.

According to the report, the 30-year-old doesn’t want to leave in the summer and is ready to stay in Naples for one more season without extending his contract.

It remains to be seen how this scenario would be handled by the club given that Arek Milik was left out of the Serie A and Europa League squad last season given that he had refused to sign a contract extension with the Azzurri.
 
IBRA: “Calhanoglu?
If from Inter you go to Milan it makes sense, vice versa no.
You have to choose for the better, not for the worse”
 
📰 #Tuttosport: #Ibrahimovic is going through pain during the training to come back as soon as possible with his teammates. The rehabilitation continues fluently. https://t.co/cqYw04LAll
 
Oliver Kahn: "The most uncomfortable striker I played against was Filippo Inzaghi. Sometimes I didn't even see him. You didn't know where he was playing, but at the end of the game you would see his name on the scoreboard. Ronaldo was the best, but the player who irritated me the most was Filippo Inzaghi. He was certainly not a super champion, but he always scored against me. Always. He always got on my nerves".

Kahn : "Ronaldo era il migliore, ma quello che mi ha irritato di più è Filippo Inzaghi. Non è certo un supercampione, però mi ha sempre segnato. Sempre. Che nervi”.
