Quote calciomercato Dovbyk Milan: il matrimonio si farà, con un anno di ritardo?

Sei giornate alla fine del campionato e già si pensa al Milan che verrà. Certo, tutto ruota attorno all'obiettivo Champions da raggiungere che fa tutta la differenza del mondo. Ma a prescindere da tutto servirà una rosa più ampia, perché comunque vada a finire, il Milan una competizione europea la giocherà e non potrà mai affrontare una stagione con tanti impegni con una rosa così esigua. È d'attualità il problema del gol. Delle cinque punte in rosa nessuno è in doppia cifra e nelle ultime settimane la squadra è rimasta a secco contro Lazio, Napoli e Udinese. Il centravanti era una priorità, a parole, già dall'anno scorso. Nei fatti la dirigenza si è mossa diversamente. A luglio però serve davvero un numero 9 e attenzione al ritorno di fiamma per Artem Dovbyk. Fu vicinissimo ai rossoneri la scorsa estate, coinvolto in uno scambio che avrebbe portato Santi Gimenez alla Roma. E pur essendo solo aprile, i bookmakers si sono già attivati per lanciare le quote trasferimento Dovbyk al Milan.

De Bruyne: "Napoli? Avevo tante offerte, ecco perché sono qui"

"Il ritmo è la più grande differenza tra Serie A e Premier League. Contro il Parma non siamo riusciti a trovare gli spazi giusti. Fab Four? C'è tanta qualità quando giochiamo insieme: mi aiutano a migliorare. I tifosi ci supportano bene e noi cerchiamo di farli emozionare. Finale di stagione? Vincere per qualificarci in Champions" Il calciatore del Napoli, Kevin De Bruyne, è intervenuto in esclusiva ai microfoni di Radio CRC, emittente partner del club: Di seguito le sue parole: «Abbiamo conquistato molti punti in queste ultime partite, anche se non abbiamo preso i tre punti a Parma. Sento che c'è qualcosa di diverso da quando sono tornato, l'atmosfera è un po' più positiva: era stato un momento difficile. Abbiamo provato a competere, abbiamo conquistato tanti punti e dobbiamo vincere tante partite per qualificarci alla prossima Champions League. Come sto? Mi sento bene, sono tornato bene e prima del previsto. Per me è stato davvero bello a inizio stagione, ho giocato molte partite, ma poi è arrivato l'infortunio. Adesso, però, secondo me sto facendo bene: sono davvero felice. Penso che la Serie A sia molto diversa dalla Premier League, ma devo ammettere che anche quando giocavo con il City, molte squadre ci affrontavano con il blocco basso, perché per loro era molto difficile pressarci visto il modo in cui gestivamo la palla. Quando giochi contro queste squadre, devi trovare il modo di trovare gli spazi giusti. Purtroppo non siamo riusciti a farlo contro il Parma ed è un peccato. Ma a volte succede. La decisione di lasciare il City è stata presa di comune accordo con la società. A volte, quando si sta insieme tanto tempo, succede. Avevo offerte da tutto il mondo, ma mi piace ancora giocare a calcio ad alti livelli e il Napoli mi ha dato questa opportunità. Quando si prendono queste decisioni ci sono tante cose da considerare, come soldi, famiglia e tutto il resto, ma alla fine ho deciso per il Napoli. Differenze tra Serie A e Premier? In Italia le squadre giocano in modo molto simile tra loro, annullandosi un po' a vicenda, mentre in Inghilterra ci sono molte squadre che giocano in maniera diversa. Giocatori che vanno uomo su uomo e che poi giocano basso o che giocano alto, moduli diversi. In Italia molte squadre giocano a cinque dietro, con il 5-3-2 o il 5-4-1. Direi che il ritmo è la più grande differenza tra Italia e Inghilterra, ma soprattutto per lo stile di gioco. Qui a Napoli ho trovato un gruppo ottimo, sono rimasto sorpreso dalla qualità dei giocatori, penso che abbiamo molti buoni giocatori. Sono stati molto accoglienti, per me che arrivavo da un gruppo che conoscevo benissimo non era facile. Ma il gruppo mi ha fatto sentire subito inserito e penso che tutto sia andato molto bene. Fab Four? Non mi interessa nessun nome. Sento che a volte intorno c'è troppo rumore. Sai quando giocavo al City, giocavo con i migliori giocatori del mondo: penso che tutti possano giocare insieme, è solo una questione di adattarsi con i ragazzi con cui giochi in quel momento. C'è molta qualità con tutti e quattro in campo: hanno fatto molto bene in passato, stanno facendo molto bene ora, mi hanno aiutato a migliorare. Capacità di scanning? Non mi sono mai realmente allenato su questo e sugli assist. Penso che sia il mio stile di gioco, ma cerco di adattarmi ai calciatori che giocano con me, per cercare di metterli nella giusta posizione e nelle giuste condizioni in modo che possano performare al meglio. Sai ognuno è diverso: se giochi con le ali o no, cerchi di trovare le soluzioni giuste per poi eseguirle nel migliore dei modi. Penso sia importante avere i tifosi che sostengono la squadra. Penso che la gente sa che sono venuto qui per lavorare sodo e al meglio delle mie capacità e va di pari passo: se andiamo bene, ci loderanno e sosterranno. Ma lo percepisci in città, sai che c'è una sola squadra a Napoli, è un po' diverso da Manchester che ne ha due. Ci stanno sostenendo molto bene e cerchiamo di farli emozionare. Mi sto ambientando abbastanza bene. Vivo un po' fuori città, cerco anche di trovare il mio spazio, perché sono quel tipo di persona. Ma ho anche tre figli, seguo ogni cosa che fanno, quindi sono abbastanza occupato. A volte vado in città , cerco di vederla un po' e godermela, perché ne hai bisogno nella vita. Capisco abbastanza bene l'italiano, ma parlarlo è un po' difficile. Ci sto provando, ma non sono bravo ancora abbastanza per fare interviste come questa. Però quando le persone parlano tra loro, capisco abbastanza bene le frasi, anche perché so parlare francese e altre lingue. Napoletano? Prima l'italiano e poi il napoletano (ride n.d.r.)».

#1582 | Matt Law Special! Has Chelsea Given Up? Late Season Run? Stadium Exodus! #CFC

Nick and Matt Law discuss Chelsea's current struggles, highlighted by a perceived culture of "giving up" among players and management during recent defeats. This has led to a significant emotional disconnect with the fanbase, evidenced by record-low home attendances and planned joint protests with supporters from sister club Strasbourg.

Christian Pulisic gets 2026 struggles lifeline as Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri set to reveal secret weapon for Serie A clash vs Udinese

With the club chasing consistency, all eyes are on how Allegri plans to unlock more from his forward line and help Pulisic rediscover his form. The pressure is building around Christian Pulisic as Milan prepares for a decisive clash against Udinese, with Massimiliano Allegri hinting at a potential solution to the team’s attacking struggles. With the club chasing consistency, all eyes are on how Allegri plans to unlock more from his forward line and help Pulisic rediscover his form. Milan enters the match against Udinese knowing the stakes are rising. The recent dip in results has placed the club under pressure to secure a Champions League spot, while individual performances, especially in attack, have come under scrutiny. After a bright start to the campaign, Pulisic’s form has taken a noticeable downturn. The American has yet to score in Serie A in 2026, going 13 league appearances without a goal, marking his longest drought since arriving in Italy. This dry spell stands in stark contrast to his early-season impact. He registered eight goals between August and December 2025, quickly establishing himself as one of the Rossoneri’s most dangerous attacking outlets. Fitness issues have also contributed to his inconsistency. Injuries and limited minutes have disrupted his rhythm, making it harder for him to maintain the sharpness that defined his performances earlier in the season. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan reacts What did Allegri say? When questioned about potential tactical adjustments, Allegri chose his words carefully. Rather than confirming a specific plan, he emphasized the importance of balance and perspective. “The changes, I repeat, I don’t want to be boring. Is Saelemaekers a striker or a full-back? If it were just a matter of formations, it would be too easy. There needs to be a balance,” he said. He also addressed the struggles of his attacking players, including Pulisic. “Pulisic and Leao have unfortunately had various injuries, which have prevented them from finding their fitness. But they have scored important goals,” Allegri added. The comments suggest a coach trying to protect his players while quietly preparing adjustments behind the scenes. The tactical shift revealed Behind the scenes, however, a clearer picture has begun to emerge. According to MilanNews.it, Allegri is preparing to move away from the 3-5-2 system and switch to a 4-3-3 formation against Udinese, a change designed to inject more attacking energy into the side. This shift could have a direct impact on Pulisic’s role. Operating in a front three alongside Rafael Leao and Niclas Fullkrug, he is expected to play in a more advanced and natural attacking position, which may help him rediscover his scoring touch. 🚨 [BREAKING] Allegri TRIED THE FRONT THREE! The attack in today’s training: •Rafael Leão (LW) •Santiago Gimènez (ST) •Christian Pulisic (RW) Finally. pic.twitter.com/bMvbmVTwnr — Sleeper AC Milan (@SleeperACMilan) April 9, 2026 The adjustment also reflects a broader need for evolution. With more attacking players available, Allegri now has the flexibility to deploy a system that prioritizes width, pace, and directness. Milan searching for a spark Milan’s recent results reflect a broader attacking problem within the squad. Three defeats in the last six league matches, all by 1-0 scorelines, underline the team’s inability to convert chances into goals. The loss to Napoli further complicated the situation. The gap to the league leader has widened to nine points, effectively ending any realistic title push and shifting the focus toward securing a top-four finish. With Udinese next on the schedule, the fixture has taken on added importance. Dropping more points could drag Milan deeper into a battle for Champions League qualification, increasing the urgency for change.
