With the recent departures of Caroline Rask, Julia Šimić, the team will have plenty of space in their midfield. There are also rumors that Dominika Čonč will depart for Napoli. The Rossonere will have to work diligently to upgrade their midfield and to fill the void these players have left behind. Serie A Femminile Serie A Femminile will resume play on August 29th. And between August 29th and September 12th, the games will be played in the evening. The Supercoppa Femminile will follow the same format as last year, with the tournament comprised of Juve, Milan, Roma, and Sassuolo. Roma makes the list due to winning the Coppa Italia. Three teams will also be relegated from the league at the end of the season. This will be done in preparation for the league becoming a ten-team championship in 2022. The AC Milan Women are currently on hiatus right now. They are on vacation and will reconvene in July in preparation for both their upcoming Champions League qualifiers, and to prepare for next season.

Gianluca di Marzio via MilanLive.it is reporting that AC Milan are working to sell Samu Castillejo and Diego Laxalt this summer as the side looks to cut the dead weight and bolster its revenues. Calcio Mercato are reporting that the winger is not interested in a move away this summer despite the desire of the management to sell him. Milan need more quality down that right wing as that has been one of the poorest positions in the past couple of seasons. They are reporting that Espanyol and Real Betis have showed interest in the player thus far. Tuttosport via MilanLive.it are reporting that Real Betis are in fact in pole position to sign the 26 year old Castillejo this summer as they are in the market for a right winger. The player is valued at about 10 million euros by Milan but a loan with a buy out is a possibility.

Gazzetta dello Sport via MilanNews.it are reporting that AC Milan are watching Sassuolo captain and winger Domenico Berardi this summer. The report that he is not short of suitors both in Italy and abroad hence this could end up as an auction. The winger has 17 goals and 8 assists thus far this season and has started both Italy’s games in the Euros thus far. Gianluca Longaro of SportItalia is reporting that Milan have made enquiries for the player but notes that no negotiations are likely to start given the playing is featuring at the Euros and this could further drive up his value in Sassuolo’s eyes. Calcio Mercato are reporting that 26 year old is on Stefano Pioli’s wish list and has been communicated to Maldini and Massara as a key target. The 50 million euro price tag will be an issue but Milan can get creative. The player is experienced in the league and is in need of a step up.

Calcio Mercato are reporting that AC Milan are close to landing a deal for Toulouse’s break out star Amine Adli. The 21 year old is a versatile attacker who could play as a winger, a playmaker or a second striker. The youngster had 8 goals and 8 assists in 36 games in France’s second division this past season as his side finished 3rd but missed out on promotion. Tuttosport via MilanLive.it are reporting that Milan have bid 5 million euros plus 2 million in bonuses for the young attacker who was voted Player of The Year in the Ligue 2 in France. Milan are facing strong competition from Marseille for his signature. Toulouse want 8 million euros for the player. Milan are expecting a response soon. Ekrem Konur is reporting the offer of Milan is 4 million euros for the winger. Pianeta Milan are reporting that there is optimism around the deal and agreement is set to be found shortly. They report that Milan are yet to negotiate with the player and his entourage.

MilanNews.it are reporting that AC Milan’s deadline to redeem Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali following his year long loan has elapsed. This throws the deal into turmoil with reports going in both directions claiming a breakdown and breakthrough in talks with President Massimo Cellino in recent days. Sport Mediaset via MilanNews.it are reporting that Milan are Brescia are still engaged in talks for a deal for the midfielder and note that Lorenzo COlombo could be brought into the talks. There seemed to be an agreement between the parties over a discount last week as we reported here but this seems to no longer be the case as Milan pressed for a further concession. It is odd to see Maldini and Massara playing hardball for Tonali given how good he has been and the potential he has shown for the future. It remains to be seen if this is just a bureaucratic delay or a genuine breaking point in talks between the two sides.
