AC Milan Insider

❤️🖤 Luka Modrić: “We all need to work together to bring Milan back to where it deserves to be.”

In a lengthy interview with Marca, Luka Modrić opened up about his decision to join AC Milan, last season’s disappointment and his ambitions for the new Rossoneri project. 🇭🇷

On choosing Milan:
🔴 “When I was a child and watched Italian football, Milan was my favorite team.”
⚫ “Milan is one of the best clubs in the world, a historical giant.”
🔴 “The history of Milan is literally in the air, even at the training ground.”

On last season:
Modrić admitted that Milan were fighting for the Scudetto until around March, before throwing away their chances in the final stages and missing out on Champions League qualification.

“It was a heavy blow, because Milan, due to its history, should play in the Champions League every year.”

On the new project:
🔴 New coach
⚫ Many new players
🔴 A new direction

Modrić knows he cannot change everything alone.

“One player cannot do everything alone, but we all need to work together to gradually bring Milan back to where it deserves to be.”

A true Rossonero mentality from the Croatian maestro. 👑🔴⚫

🚨🇺🇸 Pulisic could make his return against Juventus! 🔴⚫

Christian Pulisic may finally get his chance to return to the pitch against Juventus, with Ruben Amorim reportedly planning to introduce him from the bench. 👀

The Allianz Stadium could be the perfect place for Pulisic to start a new chapter at Milan.

Almost 11 months ago, the American missed a penalty against Juventus — a moment that began a difficult period for him.

Since then:
❌ No club goals in 2026
😶 A quiet home World Cup
🩹 A serious ankle injury that ruled him out of Milan’s pre-season

Pulisic returned to the squad in early August, but Amorim has been careful with his minutes. He remained on the bench against Torino and Venezia, while young Alfadjé Sissoko impressed and even scored early in the season. 🔥

Pulisic isn’t ready to start a full match yet, but Amorim still considers him an important part of Milan’s attack — and Juventus could be his comeback moment. 👊

Can Pulisic finally break the curse and score his first Milan goal of 2026 against Juventus? 🇺🇸🔥👇

🚨🇪🇨 The Athletic: Aston Villa tried to sign Pervis Estupiñán for over a month!

Aston Villa were determined to bring Pervis Estupiñán to Birmingham, with Unai Emery already familiar with the Ecuadorian from their time together at Villarreal. The involvement of agent Jorge Mendes also made the move look increasingly possible. 👀

However, negotiations repeatedly stalled as the terms kept changing. Eventually, Villa lost patience and turned their attention to Matteo Ruggeri, completing the deal for the Italian defender. 🔄

Interestingly, Villa briefly considered signing Estupiñán even after reaching an agreement with Ruggeri — but ultimately decided to proceed with the Italian.

🔴⚫ Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim had other plans.

The Milan coach personally assessed Estupiñán during the pre-season tour and decided to block his departure. The Ecuadorian remained at Milan and has already:
🔴 Started against Torino
⚫ Appeared as a substitute against Venezia

Amorim clearly sees a role for Estupiñán in his Milan project. 👊

Was Amorim right to keep Estupiñán at Milan? 🇪🇨🔴⚫👇

🚨🇮🇹 Mikael Fabbrini appointed as VAR for Juventus vs Milan — and Rossoneri fans have reasons to be concerned. 👀

Fabbrini’s appointment has raised eyebrows because his name has been linked to several controversial decisions involving Milan in recent years.

🔴 April 2019 vs Juventus: Milan were leading 1-0 when Alex Sandro appeared to handle the ball inside the box. Fabbrini reviewed the incident on the monitor but did not award a penalty. The decision was later publicly acknowledged as a major refereeing error.

⚫ 2025 vs Bologna: As VAR, Fabbrini called Matteo Marchenaro to the monitor over a Milan penalty and showed him an angle that reportedly influenced the decision to overturn it. The refereeing authorities later acknowledged an error.

🔴 2024 vs Cagliari: A Zito Luvumbo offside-positioned near Mike Maignan was involved in the build-up to Gabriele Zortea’s goal, with questions raised over whether the goalkeeper’s view was obstructed.

⚫ 2025 vs Roma: A possible foul on Tijjani Reijnders inside the penalty area was also left without a penalty.

Now Fabbrini will be on VAR duty for a crucial Juventus–Milan clash. 😬

Milan fans will be hoping for one thing above all: clear, consistent and impartial officiating. ⚖️

Do you trust Fabbrini to handle the VAR fairly against Juventus? 👇

🚨🇮🇹 La Gazzetta dello Sport: Fikayo Tomori officially returns to the AC Milan squad! 🔴⚫

Fikayo Tomori will remain at Milan and has officially returned to first-team training after his failed move to Fulham. Ruben Amorim personally called the defender after the transfer window closed to inform him of the decision. 👀

Key details:
🔴 Fulham move collapsed after the two sides failed to reach an agreement
⚫ Tomori’s priority was always to continue at Milan
🔴 His contract runs until June 2027
⚫ He previously rejected interest from Juventus, Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa
🔴 Milan could not find a centre-back who matched the club’s price and quality requirements
⚫ Tomori will reclaim his No. 23 shirt
🔴 His return is especially important with Matteo Gabbia currently sidelined by an ankle injury

Tomori was once a key part of Milan’s defence. Now he has another chance to prove himself under Ruben Amorim. 💪

Can Tomori become an important player for Amorim again? 👇

🚨🇮🇹 La Gazzetta dello Sport: Milan’s €150M transfer campaign is complete!

AC Milan have wrapped up an unusual summer transfer window worth around €150 million. The campaign was heavily front-loaded, with major spending early on before a quieter deadline period. 👀

It was also a distinctly international window — not a single Italian player was among the new arrivals, while only one signing came directly from another Serie A club.

There were surprises too:
🔴 Diego Moreira’s arrival came unexpectedly
⚫ Milan ultimately abandoned plans to sign another centre-back
🔴 The squad now fully belongs to Ruben Amorim’s vision

Now comes the real challenge. Amorim has five major tasks ahead:

1️⃣ Integrate the new signings without losing the team’s balance
2️⃣ Build an effective squad despite limited reliance on players from Serie A clubs
3️⃣ Find solutions in the centre of defence
4️⃣ Unlock Diego Moreira’s full potential
5️⃣ Maintain high intensity even with heavy rotation

€150M has been invested. Now, the pressure is on Amorim. 🔴⚫

Can Ruben Amorim turn this ambitious Milan project into a title-winning team? 👇

🚨🇫🇷 Adrien Rabiot set for a new role against Juventus!

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Rabiot is expected to make his first start of the season for AC Milan against his former club Juventus — but Ruben Amorim has a surprise in store. 👀

The Frenchman is set to play as the right-sided attacking midfielder in a 3-4-2-1, replacing Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the No. 10 role.

💪 Physical power
🧠 Intelligent movement
🎯 Long-range shooting
🔥 Pressing intensity

Rabiot has already made a huge impact off the bench this season. Milan’s four goals so far have all come while the Frenchman has been on the pitch. 😳

Against Torino: 🅰️ Assist + ⚽ Goal
Against Venezia: 🔥 Immediate impact

Amorim reportedly considers Rabiot, alongside Mike Maignan, one of the foundations of his Milan project — and the club are already discussing a contract extension with his representatives.

Now comes the big test: Rabiot vs. his former club. 🔴⚫️

Can Rabiot make the difference against Juventus? 👇
