Terms done: Christian Pulisic is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Aston Villa waiting with a shirt. Nobody at AC Milan is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

An offer of $16.6M for Jacobo Ramón

AC Milan have gone to Como with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Door shut on Mattia Zaccagni

AC Milan asked and Lazio said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A move Fabián would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Fabián is living that version at AC Milan, and it tends to show in the first month.

Business is business: Fikayo Tomori goes

West Ham United paid $13.1M and AC Milan took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market10 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and AC Milan did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

AC Milan bid $5.7M for Federico Baschirotto

The offer went to Cremonese this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Bayern Munich watching Mike Maignan

The interest is real enough to have reached print. AC Milan have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Gonçalo Ramos stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gonçalo Ramos and AC Milan agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

AC Milan say no — this time

The offer from Real Sociedad for Christian Pulisic was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

AC Milan make their move for Fabián

$8.1M on the table at Paris Saint-Germain. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Karim Benzema arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Karim Benzema has, at AC Milan, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Luka Modrić stands down from international duty

“202 caps is more than I ever expected, and it is time somebody else had them.” At 40 he is finished with his country and nowhere near finished with AC Milan.

Luka Modrić wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at AC Milan hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Luka Modrić signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luka Modrić and AC Milan agree another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at AC Milan

Adrien Rabiot was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

AC Milan rebuffed over Jens Odgaard

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bologna have kept their man, and AC Milan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Alexis Saelemaekers knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Alexis Saelemaekers trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
