The rumour mill may continue incessantly as it always does, but, for the time being no players will be swapping kits. Instead, now is the time for coaches to start preparing their troops, both new and old, for the business part of the season. It is already February and that mad month of May is [...]

27.01.2012 - "Estoy feliz, visto todo lo que ha ocurrido. Al final ha llegado el premio de poder entrar en este gran equipo", dijo Maxi López ni bien firmó contrato con el Milan. Entonces, Carlitos Tévez se enteraba de que (muy probablemente) debería quedarse otros cinco meses en el infierno de Manchester (City).

Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani definitely knows how to work a bargain. Since 1986, when he started his long and prosperous career at the Via Turati, the man known as Uncle Fester has been the man behind the scenes. The one who has engineered deals that have seen so many of the world's best players [.

It has been an odd week for Milan. From the low that last Sunday's derby loss sank us to, the club's fortunes rose steadily from one day to the next ending in triumphant fashion with a convincing 3-0 win over Novara. The loss to the ‘Tinkerman's' Nerazzurri posed serious questions over Max Allegri's men, from [.

Milan lost the weekend event 0-1 to city rivals Inter and word on the street is Pato ain't going anywhere soon as owner Silvio Berlusconi has sent the word down he wants two upfront and that means, for the time being, a Ibra-Pato partnership must bloom. Team vice-president Adriano Galliani was quoted on the club's official website as saying, "We're still five points ahead of.

It has been a topsy-turvy week for Milan ahead of Sunday's clash with our dislikeable cousins Inter. The headlines have been dominated by the transfer fiasco involving Carlos Tevez and Alexandre Pato which has left doubts regarding the harmony, or lack of, at the Via Turati. Milan's obsessive chase for Tevez the football mercenary escalated [.

Milan vice president Adriano Galliani confirmed that talks had broken down saying that City were holding out for €35 million which for Milan is too pricey.

PSG is splashing some serious cash this transfer window. They are on the verge of signing Alexandre Pato for €35 million from Milan for a three year deal. Leonardo is also milking his popularity with Brazilian players to bring Kaka on board and is offering €25 million for the services of the Real midfielder.

The recent resurgence of Inter in the Serie A and Milan's status as defending champions are nicely setting up what should be an intense and fiercely fought Milan derby on Monday. Of course, fireworks are always expected whenever these two sides meet at the San Siro. But, with the Nerazzurri desperate to continue their climb [.

The latest from the Carlos Tevez transfer saga reveals that the striker has reached an agreement with Italian giants AC Milan. According to Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani, an agreement between Tevez, City and Milan has already been reached.

Of course this only creates more controversy as Milan's city rivals Inter are also thought to be still interested in Tevez despite Milan's arrangement.

Here's a shot of AC Milan raising a toast to one another in Dubai during a boat dinner party last night- although not everyone seems interested. This is where you need to bring in some David Luiz craziness because he turns everything into a party and even the classiest and broodiest Italian stallions on the table will want to be part of that super cool group!

... and all through the land, rumours, scandal and transfer talk were at hand! What better way to end the year here at Futbolita, at least where calcio is concerned, with a look at what lies ahead in the upcoming year?

Barbara Berlusconi – daughter of disgraced former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, member of Milan's board of directors, and Alexandre Pato's girlfriend – has been the subject of much speculation as of late, with many gossip magazines claiming the beautiful blonde is carrying Pato's child.

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani claims his side are nearer to closing the gap on European champions Barcelona than Real Madrid.

Milan have already played Barca twice this season in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League with the Rossoneri earning a notable draw at the Nou Camp in September before losing 3-2 at the Giuseppe Meazza last month.

Milan's determination to sign Carlos Tevez has been unrelenting. I understand that Tevez is a great player, of this there is no doubt. But, given his off-field troubles which have kept him off the field at City, it's a little bizarre how Adriano Galliani and Co. are pulling out all the stops to get their [.

So the Carlos Tevez transfer saga is starting to get a little boring. Recent reports emerging say that the 27 year old is eager to join Milan despite City being totally against Milan's loan plan.

AC Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani is set to meet City this Thursday in a final meeting that is intended to iron out all the contentious issues.

It's about that time again when clubs begin digging into their pockets to bolster their squads for the Last half of the season. The most famous transfer deal making headlines everyday without a doubt has to be of want away Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.

It seems like with every passing day, a new twist emerges rendering the progress made futile.

Carlos Tevez appears to be inching closer to resolution on his future.

The much-maligned Manchester City striker has a major suitor in AC Milan, which has reportedly extended an offer to take the player on loan for the rest of the season before purchasing his contract during the summer.

It's official! Want away Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez will join Italian giants AC Milan on January 2nd on a loan deal that will see him earn 3 million Euros for the 5 months to the season's end in May 2012 .

According To Allegri, the club is set to offer him a two year extension that will see him stay with the Rossonerri for two more years.

Some shocking news for you today. Former Inter Milan and AC Milan Brazilian winger Mancini has been sentenced to 2 years and 8 months in prison after he was found guilty of rape.

Not many will remember Mancini as a Milan player because he only made 7 appearances for the club before returning to his boyhood club Atletico Mineiro, however, his stint with capital club Roma is where his skill was brought to the fore.

To us it is not news that come the end of the season Alberto Aquilani could become a permanent Milan player. All he has to do is make 25 appearances and his buy-out clause of €6 million will be activated. Nonetheless, with an international week that provides little in the way of newsworthy content, this [.

Serie A champions AC Milan have cooled down talk of Chelsea star Didier Drogba joining the club. Drogba who is out of contract with Chelsea next summer, has been consistently linked with a move away from the bridge.

Now, however, Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani has cooled down talks of the Ivorian star joining the 7 time European champions.

There has been much talk recently about the futures of Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba, both of whom will see their contracts expire in the summer. Former Chelsea and AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti, for one, has talked up both players as potential targets for Milan, saying he could see them "fitting in very well" at the Italian club.

We will mourn the loss of Antonio Cassano for the rest of the season. Although, I do reserve some hope that we will see him before we claim a second consecutive Scudetto and an eighth European crown in May at the Allianz Arena after we beat Barcelona 3-0. How I wish. Just like a depressed [...]

I love it. Adriano Galliani is getting on in years but has again showed that he has not lost his ability to be ironic and funny at the same time. Talking to Gazzetta Dello Sport, our charismatic director said, "It's a good job that Ibra did fight with Guardiola. "If that wasn't the case then [...]

With Antonio Cassano effectively ruled out for the season, barring a miraculous recovery – which I hope for – the club has decided that a new striker is needed. Adriano Galliani has hinted as much, but, has said that if a striker does arrive it will only be temporary, i.e. on a loan. "For sure [.

The Milan tifosi and players rallied together last night to show their support for Antonio Cassano, the AC Milan striker who will undergo an interventional cardiac surgery (of his heart) to close the 'foramen ovale'. Doctors only ruled this when they discovered he was suffering from ischemic brain damage and he has been ruled out of football for up to six months.

Milan striker Antonio Cassano's mystery illness was a stroke according to reports from Italian news agency Ansa. The club has refused to comment with Adriano Galliani avoiding going into detail. "I think every patient has the right to privacy, the doctors are working on it and there's nothing more to say," was his reply when asked [.

Milan director Adriano Galliani claimed following the Roma win on Sunday night that he was never worried about the team's poor early season form because he knew that once the numerous injured players were back, Milan would be back. Many of us were up in arms in the early throes of the campaign. Some pointed [.

Many of us were up in arms in the early throes of the campaign. Some pointed [.

I have been holding my breath before declaring this, but, I think it is safe to say now; Milan are back. In the fight again Last night's win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico made it four wins from four for Allegri's men. Few teams in Europe are in this kind of form, Real Madrid [...]

There is no doubt who the man-of-the-match was against Parma. It was, of course, Antonio Nocerino. Not a player known for his scoring ability, his hat-trick is in many ways more remarkable than that of Kevin Prince's on Sunday, circumstances aside. The former Juventus player was signed by the club at the eleventh hour of [.

Since Sunday's incredible victory all the talk, and praise, has been reserved for Kevin Prince Boaten. And, deservingly so. The midfielder's hat-trick in such trying circumstances will not be forgotten quickly and has seen him hit the headlines the world over. But, as ever, another player has been in the spotlight too; Mario Balotelli.

1) They're baaaaaack! And probably better than ever. The Champions have had a sluggish start to the season, but the biggest shock was not the high profile losses against Napoli and Juventus themselves, but the manner in which they were utterly outplayed by both pretenders and looked completely toothless.

Adriano Galliani – Aquaman and Noce are extraordinary "They all played well but this evening I was particularly impressed by Aquilani and Nocerino. Aquilani was extraordinary both defensively and in attack" Speaking after the game everyone was understandably excited, including Uncle Fester. The old baldy reserved special praise for Alberto Aquilani and Antonio Nocerino and [.

This week has seen some scary rumours emerge. First it was reported that the club had revived its interest in Juventus striker Amauri. Then Lazio's new signing Dijbril Cisse was linked to the club before Carlos Tevez was mentioned as Milan target. But, Adriano Galliani has brushed aside such rumours.

The news today surrounding the Milanello is about the apparent unsettledness of strike pair Antonio Cassano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Adriano Galliani has been forced to quell increasing speculation that the two are not happy. Perhaps in the case of Ibra there is some truth. The player has in recent days expressed his lack of [.
