AC Milan join Napoli in race for Victor Osimhen
Italian giants AC Milan have joined Napoli in the race for Nigeria and Lille striker, Victor Osimhen. In a surprise development, Football Italia reported Milan had entered the race to sign Lille striker, although Napoli still remain strong contenders. Osimhen visited the Napoli facilities, meeting with coach Gennaro Gattuso and President Aurelio De Laurentiis last week. He wanted time to consider all the options, including waiting for an offer from the Premier League, but that does not appear to be materialising. Instead, Football Italia sources in Nigeria now suggest Milan are in the picture too, preparing their own proposal for Lille and the 21-year-old forward. The asking price is expected to be at least €50m, so the Rossoneri would try to include some players to lower the cost of the o...

We’ll have to be aggressive but also careful. “We did well at Lecce and we must also do that against Roma. They know how to defend but could give us space to work in. “Our attackers have always moved around. With Ibra up top, we have different characteristics, but even he likes to come deep for the ball. “Now, we must insist on mobility in attack. We need to make the most of the...

25-year-old Chelsea midfielder is keen on a move to the Serie A – Fabrizio Romano
Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is understood to be keen on a reunion with AC Milan during the next transfer window, Calciomercato’s Fabrizio Romano has revealed. The Frenchman joined the Blues from Monaco during the summer of 2017 and he had an average debut season where he struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League. As a result, he was loaned out to the Rossoneri last term and he was one of their consistent performers after initially struggling to break into the starting lineup under manager Gennaro Gattuso. Still, the Rossoneri missed out on Champions League qualification by the solitary point and that contributed to the departure of Gattuso while the club could not afford to sign Bakayoko permanently. At the start of the current campaign, Bakayoko returned to AS Monaco on...
