Transfer Market

L'attaccante della Nazionale si è procurato un serio infortunio nell'ultima partita di Saudi Pro League con l'Al-Qadsiah

Dodici giocatori nuovi arrivati tra la scorsa estate e l'ultimo mercato di gennaio: qual è stato il loro rendimento?

What initially seemed like a temporary dip in form now carries wider implications, both for the team and for players like Pulisic who once looked untouchable in the lineup. The mood around Christian Pulisic has shifted dramatically in recent months, with uncertainty beginning to cloud what once looked like a defining season at Milan. As the club enters a crucial stretch, questions are growing about how the American forward could be impacted by what lies ahead. What initially seemed like a temporary dip in form now carries wider implications, both for the team and for players like Pulisic who once looked untouchable in the lineup. The American’s campaign has unfolded in two completely different chapters, each telling its own story. Between August and December, he scored eight goals and provided two assists, establishing himself as one of the club’s most reliable attacking threats. Since the start of 2026, however, the numbers have taken a sharp downturn. He has failed to score a single goal this year, registering just one assist in 14 appearances, a drought that has mirrored Milan’s own struggles. His last goal came in late December against Hellas Verona, a moment that now feels distant. What followed was a combination of reduced efficiency and a brief injury setback that disrupted his rhythm at a critical time. Milan’s broader situation has intensified the spotlight on Pulisic. Just weeks ago, the club appeared on track for a strong finish, but a series of poor results has left the Rossoneri’s position increasingly fragile. Serie A standings after Matchday 32 A heavy defeat to Udinese exposed deeper issues, and the race for a top-four finish has tightened significantly. With only six matches remaining, every point carries enormous weight for the club’s future. “The Champions League quota is around 73 points,” Allegri warned, underlining the challenge ahead. Milan now finds itself chasing that target under mounting pressure, with little room for further mistakes. What would happen if Milan misses out? Missing the top four would trigger wider consequences across the squad. As per Calciomercato, contract renewal talks across the squad have already been put on hold, affecting several key players. More importantly for Pulisic, there is a growing possibility that players could be put on the market if the club misses out on the Champions League. Financial consequences play a major role in this scenario, as participation in the competition brings in significant revenue. Milan already felt the impact of missing out on approximately $65 million to $75 million in Champions League income this season, which contributed to key departures in the squad, including Theo Hernandez, Malick Thiaw, and Tijjani Reijnders. Without that financial boost again, difficult decisions could follow. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan celebrates How it directly affects Pulisic For Pulisic, the stakes could hardly be higher, the report goes on to add. His form, combined with the club’s results, may determine whether he remains a central figure or becomes part of a wider reshuffle. Interest from abroad and his reputation as a high-profile international player make him a valuable asset in the transfer market. If Milan is forced to balance finances, players in his position could attract attention from clubs willing to invest. At the same time, a strong finish to the season could completely change the narrative. A return to form, especially in the final six decisive matches, would reinforce his importance and potentially secure his long-term place in the project.

Esterno d'attacco classe 2003, è il nuovo talento del calcio spagnolo e può finire al centro del mercato

Il centrocampista del Venezia è già diventato un importantissimo uomo mercato con 5 top club che lo stanno seguendo in vista dell'estate.

“Se le cose stanno così, arrivo di corsa, Mister”. Deve aver risposto più o meno così, Donyell Malen a Gian Piero Gasperini, quando quest'ultimo – era lo scorso fine dicembre – gli diede garanzia che qui a Roma avrebbe fatto ciò che più desiderava: il centravanti in una squadra di valore. E mai intuizione – quella di Gasp – fu più decisiva nella storia recente del nostro campionato. E se appena tre mesi fa era ancora un giocatore dell’Aston Villa – 4 gol in 21 partite – il sogno di mercato di diversi club della Serie A, ora Malen, può entrare nella storia della Serie A. L’olandese ha già messo a segno dieci gol in sole 12 presenze con la maglia della Roma. Un bottino, con sei giornate ancora da disputare, che gli permette di sognare addirittura il titolo di capocannoniere della Serie A, ora distante sei gol. L’olandese re dei bomber si gioca a 9,00 su Snai, secondo in quota soltanto a Lautaro Martinez (in pole a 1,16 su Sisal) , leader a quota 16 marcature ma ai box per un infortunio muscolare che dovrebbe tenerlo fuori per alcune settimane.Mai nessun giocatore arrivato in Italia a gennaio è poi riuscito a laurearsi capocannoniere della Serie A. Con la tripletta contro il Lecce, Malen ha eguagliato a quota 10 il numero massimo di gol segnati da un nuovo acquisto di gennaio, primato condiviso con una leggenda del calcio italiano come Zlatan Ibrahimovic.Malen non sembra però intenzionato a fermarsi alla semplice condivisione del record. Con il sorpasso a Ibra ormai a un passo, il mirino è puntato su Lautaro. L'attaccante giallorosso può riscrivere le statistiche della Serie A: se dovesse riuscire a conquistare il titolo di capocannoniere, quella di Malen non sarebbe solo l'operazione di mercato perfetta, ma la più grande rimonta mai vista in un girone di ritorno. La storia è lì, a soli sei gol di distanza.

Milan believes it holds three decisive cards that could tilt the race for Lewandowski in its favor. Christian Pulisic may soon see a major addition arrive at Milan, as the club pushes forward in talks with the agent of Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski. The search for goals has become increasingly urgent, leading the Rossoneri to explore one of the most ambitious moves of the summer window. In fact, Milan believes it holds three decisive cards that could tilt the race for Lewandowski in its favor. Milan’s struggles in attack have reached an alarming point, and the statistics reflect a worrying trend that shows no sign of easing. A recent Tuttosport analysis highlighted that the club’s forwards have now accumulated over 600 combined days without a goal. The last time any Milan forward found the net in Serie A was Rafael Leao’s strike against Cremonese on March 1. Players who were expected to provide solutions—Santiago Gimenez, Niclas Fullkrug, and Christopher Nkunku—have failed to leave any substantial mark. Even Pulisic, who started the season strongly, has endured well-documented struggles in 2026. With the team’s system stalling in the final third, the absence of an unstoppable finisher feels more visible with every match. The Rossoneri’s lack of a true, reliable centre-forward is nothing new. La Gazzetta dello Sport noted that the club’s No.9 shirt has felt ‘cursed’ since the era of Filippo Inzaghi, with Olivier Giroud standing as the lone exception in recent history. Attempts to bring stability—whether through Alvaro Morata, Divock Origi, Tammy Abraham, or Luka Jovic—have repeatedly fallen short. Rafael Leao of AC Milan celebrates with teammate Christian Pulisic. Some stayed only months, others barely contributed, and several left without any lasting footprint. Even talented prospects like Santi Gimenez remain question marks rather than confirmed solutions. This cycle of uncertainty has forced the club to re-evaluate its strategy ahead of what is shaping up to be a pivotal summer. The summer market demands precision Heading into the upcoming summer transfer window, Milan knows it cannot afford another gamble. Corriere dello Sport reported that major investments such as Nkunku ($4 million) and Gimenez (just over $37 million) are already expected to exit due to insufficient impact. Fullkrug, acquired on a low-cost deal, has not produced enough to merit a permanent stay. Santiago Gimenez of AC Milan celebrates with team mates Christopher Nkunku and Davide Bartesaghi. With the Scudetto race out of reach and Champions League qualification still a battle, the priority is unmistakable: secure a striker capable of bringing guaranteed goals. Moise Kean and Dusan Vlahovic have been evaluated, but financial demands complicate both options. That reality makes Lewandowski an increasingly compelling, if bold, target. Lewandowski enters the picture and how Milan hopes to lure him The Polish superstar, whose Barcelona contract expires in the summer, is expected to weigh up his future soon. Corriere della Sera revealed that he remains Milan’s “dream” target, even if the Catalan side may offer him an extra year. Meanwhile, MLS side Chicago Fire is prepared to match his current earnings, creating strong competition from overseas. Calciomercato.com added that talks between Milan and the player’s agent, Pini Zahavi, have accelerated in recent days. For any deal to happen, the veteran would need to accept a drastic reduction from his $23 million salary, with Milan capping their offer at around $8 million per year. Despite the financial difference, the Rossoneri believe they have advantages beyond money. What’s more, there are reportedly three factors the club hopes will sway Lewandowski. First is the appeal of Serie A, a league that continues to attract elite veterans seeking a new competitive chapter late in their careers. Second is Milan’s strong likelihood of securing Champions League action, a stage Lewandowski still cherishes deeply. And perhaps the most intriguing factor is the presence of Luka Modric, Lewandowski’s long-time Real Madrid rival. The idea of joining forces with Modric—who is thriving in Italy—represents a rare and symbolic opportunity that could appeal to the forward’s competitive spirit. These incentives form the backbone of Milan’s pitch.

It's been a week of excellent cup victories for Manchester City. To celebrate, David Mooney is joined by Dom Farrell from Sporting News and City fan Chris Higginbottom. They discuss the 10-1 win over Exeter and then the 2-0 success in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal at Newcastle.It was the first time since 1987 that City scored double-figures in a game and, strangely, the scoreline matched the date (for only the 18th time in City's history)... but it was a remarkable bit of history-making from Pep Guardiola's side. At the same time, City were also on the receiving end of a VAR controversy, as the video assistant took five-and-a-half minutes to disallow what seems to be a perfectly reasonable goal at St James's Park.With trips to Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt to come, we hear from Jay Mottershead from The Stretford Paddock and Norwegian journalist covering Glimt, Stian Høgland to get some idea of what City can expect this week.Plus, as young players like Max Alleyne and Ryan McAidoo impress, we discuss what options Guardiola has for the upcoming games and how necessary it is for the club to move again in the transfer market this month, as Antoine Semenyo settles in very nicely.==========To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
