Adductor injury ends Bonaventura's season
AC Milan midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on an adductor injury.
The 27-year-old was forced off in the 26th minute of Milan's 2-1 defeat at Udinese at the weekend having opening the scoring in that game.
Reports consequently suggested that Bonaventura's season was over and the San Siro club have confirmed that the Italy international will be unavailable for at least 4 months.
Milan have failed to win their past 3 Serie A matches and have dropped to 7th in the table.
Antonelli adds to AC Milan injury woes
AC Milan's injury crisis has worsened after Luca Antonelli was ruled out for at least 2 weeks with a calf injury.
Antonelli suffered the problem in training on Wednesday and will subsequently miss the upcoming Serie A games against Sampdoria, Bologna and Lazio, at which point his fitness will be re-assessed.
Milan are already without full-backs Mattia De Sciglio and Davide Calabria.
Vincenzo Montella's only fit left-back is now Leonel Vangioni, who is yet to start a match for the club since signing from River Plate.
Milan hit with Romagnoli blow
AC Milan have announced that defender Alessio Romagnoli has sustained a thigh injury.
The 22-year-old has damaged a muscle and is therefore a major doubt for Monday's key Serie A clash with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
The news is a major blow to head coach Vincenzo Montella, who has been forced to field a makeshift defence in Milan's last two matches.
Romagnoli was used at left-back for the 1-0 defeat to Sampdoria at San Siro on 5 February, with Cristian Zapata and Gabriel Paletta partnered in the middle and Juraj Kucka deployed as an emergency right-back.
Paletta was sent off during the 1-0 win over Bologna this week, leaving Montella desperately short of options now that Romagnoli is expected to be sidelined.
Gustavo Gomez is expected to deputise at the heart of the defence, while Primavera youngsters Raul Zucchetti and Matteo Gabbia are reportedly set to be called up to the main squad.
Milan agree Musacchio deal
AC Milan have reportedly agreed a €25 million deal to sign Villarreal defender and long-term target Mateo Musacchio.
According to Noticias Argentinas in the Argentine Press, all that is left is for Milan to pay up, although funds should not be an obstacle, with Sino-Europe Sports due to complete its takeover next month.
The 27-year-old has been linked with Milan since last year, although the Rossoneri were thought to have abandoned their interest.
Nonetheless, the Diavolo remain in need of centre-back reinforcements, given their lack of cover for first-choice duo Alessio Romagnoli and Gabriel Paletta.
Honda MLS move imminent
AC Milan winger Keisuke Honda could join MLS side Seattle Sounders within the coming days, according to reports.
The 30-year-old is completely out of coach Vincenzo Montella's plans at the club, having made just one starting appearance for the Rossoneri this term.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Milan would be willing to release Honda from his contract, which expires this summer, allowing him to make the move to Seattle.
The Japanese international was linked with Sunderland, Hull City and LA Galaxy during the transfer window, but a move failed to materialise.
His exit would mark the end of a 3-year spell with the club, after Honda arrived from CSKA Moscow in January 2014.
Bacca banned for referee confrontation
AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca has been suspended for one game after confronting the match officials following the award of a penalty against his side in Friday's 2-1 Serie A loss at Juventus.
Bacca had equalised for his side but the Colombian was subsequently substituted, after which Juventus were awarded a controversial injury-time penalty, converted by Paulo Dybala to take all 3 points.
The 30-year-old had to be restrained by Milan coach Vincenzo Montella as he remonstrated with the officials following the decision, with Serie A confirming he has been given a one-game ban and fined €10,000.
Bacca will miss Milan's home game against Genoa on Saturday as a result, but will be available to return following the international break for the trip to Pescara, with Milan currently 7th in Serie A.
Alessio Romagnoli will also miss the Genoa match through suspension after the centre-back collected his fifth booking of the season in the defeat to Juventus.
Abate out for the season
AC Milan vice-captain Ignazio Abate will miss the remainder of the season due to an eye injury.
The 30-year-old was injured in Milan's 1-0 win over Sassuolo last month, suffering what Milan describe as a "blunt force trauma" to his left eye and has travelled to the United States for treatment.
Abate made 23 Serie A appearances this season, most of them as skipper due to the injury of regular captain Riccardo Montolivo.
Mattia De Sciglio has taken Abate's place at right-back and as captain in his absence in their last 3 games.
Galliani confirms Barca talks over Deulofeu
AC Milan have held talks with FC Barcelona to understand their intentions regarding Gerard Deulofeu as the Rossoneri look to sign the loanee, general manager Adriano Galliani has confirmed.
Deulofeu's registration is owned by Everton but a return to Camp Nou has been touted for the Spaniard at the end of the season as the La Liga side hold a buy-back clause on the 23-year-old, who left the club in July 2015.
A January loan switch to San Siro has reinvigorated Deulofeu, who has recorded 2 goals and 3 assists in 11 league appearances for Milan, and Galliani appears keen to keep the winger at the club on a permanent basis.
"In June, you will know, I do not know what will happen in the market, so I cannot say anything", Galliani told Milan TV.
"I have spoken with the people in charge of Barcelona, but I will not tell you what they told me."
AC Milan takeover completed
The sale of AC Milan to a Chinese consortium has been finalised following months of protracted negotiations in a deal worth €740 million.
Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux completed their purchase of a 99,9% stake in the club on Thursday, a statement from previous holding company Fininvest has confirmed.
The investment group, led by executive director Han Li, has been trying for some weeks to conclude a deal but closure on the agreement was persistently pushed back.
It is reported that Li signed the contract to authorise the final payment of €370 million in Milan on Thursday, bringing an end to Silvio Berlusconi's 31-year ownership of the club.
