AC Milan

Milan haven't made any moves regarding the Gabriel Jesus option. However, they have already started asking for information about other strikers. As of today, from what I understand, he is not a priority for Milan.

You can be competitive in sport and financially self-sufficient. I don't think there are any other sectors where people wake up in the morning and ask themselves, 'Can we build good infrastructure and make money?' Football has incentives that lead to a financial imbalance, such as Champions League qualification for those who aspire to be at the top of the table and avoid relegation.

Fedele Confalonieri took a serious swipe at Cardinale's management of AC Milan, stating that RedBird is like a bank and therefore has no interest in winning the Scudetto. He emphasized that while private equity funds aim for budgetary rigor, it is not true that they never win, citing successful examples like Atlético Madrid and Inter.

After sub-standard defeats in recent years, AC Milan has often approached fans to listen to frustrations, but against Sassuolo, that did not happen.

The Milan team looked mentally broken, having scored only one goal in their last five games while losing three times, matching their total losses from the previous 31 fixtures.

AC Milan will table a contract renewal at the end of the season, offering Davide Bartesaghi a deal until 2031 with a significant pay rise.

In the past 18 months, both AC Milan and Juventus have had an interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta. However, they have never made the final step for him.

In recent years, there have been several cases of players developing on loan at a club regularly. For example, look at Chelsea. During the 2010s, they had a partnership with Vitesse, where it felt like every decent youngster headed to the Netherlands to develop.
