Roma are advancing quickly in their bid to sign Angelino, but they will have to find other wingers to strengthen their attack because Fiorentina have taken Jonathan Ikoné off the market. The Giallorossi reportedly proposed a swap deal with Andrea Belotti.

Atalanta are reportedly one of the sides monitoring the growth of Dinamo Zagreb’s budding trequartista Martin Baturina. He blossomed in the past campaign.

Fiorentina and Napoli are chasing after Josip Sutalo, but their offers have stopped short of Dinamo Zagreb’s valuation. The Viola seem keener on the defender than the Partenopei, but they’ll have to improve their proposal to win the race. The Croatian side is stoking a bidding war.

Fiorentina's approach for Sutalo has been duplicated by Ajax, meaning the Viola’s proposition is bound to be rejected, given their low offer.

Just hours after links emerged with River Plate sensation Lucas Beltran, Fiorentina are inching closer to signing Croatia center-back Josip Sutalo, after submitting an official opening bid. However, their approach has been duplicated by Ajax, meaning the Viola’s proposition is bound to be rejected, given their low offer.

Napoli plan to take their time to find a defender to fill Kim Min-Jae’s large boots. Despite the windfall deriving from his departure, the Partenopei are unlikely to shell out an overly large fee for the newcomer. Robin Le Normand is no longer a target because he’s too expensive.

Milan had started to eye Pietro Terracciano for a backup role next season, but Fiorentina will not lose him for nothing as they extended his deal.

Veteran Milan marksman Olivier Giroud believes the Rossoneri could have easily scored three-four more goals in their 4-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb, if not for the presence of Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

Stefano Pioli highlighted the challenges presented by the Salernitana game: “There are more variable than usual due to their coaching change."

Milan cruised to a 4-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb to head closer to the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, just a point away from qualification. But they play Torino next, before looking to qualify against RB Salzburg in the last matchday.

Olivier Giroud has been reportedly on the verge of extending his contract with Milan multiple times in recent weeks, but the parties need more time to put the finishing touches on their agreement. The Frenchman remains highly likely to stay, but there's a small gap between the request and the offer.

After playing several bench players in Milan's weekend victory over Monza, Stefano Pioli started the match with a more typical lineup. Because of the visitors' injury crisis, the 4-2-3-1 saw Gabbia and Simon Kjaer start at centre-back, while Pierre Kalulu shifted out wide as the right full-back.

Rafael Leao carried Milan on his back in the final matches, playing up to his full potential. He was highly instrumental in the final winning streak.

In the second match of the Champions League Group Stage, Milan fought its way to victory against Dinamo Zagreb side. While the visitors often looked like the better team, the Rossoneri had several strong individual performances carry them to victory. Saelemaekers and Leao were in top form, combining for a crucial go-ahead goal in the second half.

Coming off an unconvincing win against Sampdoria, Stefano Pioli made just one change to Milan's starting XI. Brahim Diaz took over as the number ten, and Olivier Giroud returned to his usual position as the centre-forward. On the other side, Zagreb featured Luka Ivanusec in the attacking midfield, while Mislav Orsic got the start as the left-sided forward.

The Milan management is considering intervening in January since Mike Maignan and Divock Origi could miss significant time.

Divock Origi and Ante Rebic are poised to miss at least two more matches with their respective injuries. Neither will be able to play against Dinamo Zagreb and Napoli later this week. It will be particularly inconvenient against the Azzurri, considering that Rafael Leao is suspended.
