Milan sign Krunic

AC Milan have announced the signing of Rade Krunic from Empoli, with the 25-year-old signing a 5-year deal with the San Siro side in a move reportedly costing €8 million.

A central midfielder by trade, Krunic racked up 33 appearances in Serie A during the 2018-2019 season, netting 5 goals and providing a further 6 assists in the process to earn his move.

Krunic becomes Milan's second notable signing of the summer, having snapped up full-back Theo Hernandez from Real Madrid for a fee of €20 million as the Spanish capital side's selling spree continues.

Empoli confirm Bennacer to Milan

Empoli's sporting director has confirmed that midfielder Ismael Bennacer is joining AC Milan.

Bennacer is on the verge of a €16 million move to Milan after a breakout campaign for Empoli, while he helped Algeria win the African Cup of Nations on Friday and was named the tournament's best player.

Milan sign Leao

AC Milan have reportedly agreed a €35 million deal with Lille for Portugal U21 striker Rafael Leao.

RMC Sport follows up a claim by Portuguese journalist Claudia Garcia that Leao is on his way to Milan.

The radio station adds Lille will receive 20% of a future sale for the 20-year-old, who will arrive for a medical in the coming days.

He could replace Patrick Cutrone, with Wolverhampton Wanderers understood to be close to agreeing a fee for the hitman.

Leao joined the French side from Sporting Lisbon last summer and helped them qualify for the Champions League with his 8 Ligue 1 goals.

Milan sign Duarte

AC Milan have officially signed defender Leo Duarte from Flamengo for a reported €11 million.

It was confirmed on Wednesday that Milan had deposited Duarte's contract with Lega Serie A.

The Brazilian is thought to have committed to the Rossoneri for the next 5 years.

The 23-year-old made 60 appearances for Flamengo, scoring 2 goals, but is uncapped at international level.

He replaces Cristian Zapata as a centre-back option for the Diavolo, the Colombian having since joined Genoa.

Rebic to join AC Milan

Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Ante Rebic will leave the Bundesliga club to join AC Milan on a 2-year loan deal, with Andre Silva leaving Serie A to replace him in Germany.

Rebic had been left out of the Eintracht squad for the second straight league game as rumours persisted.

Earlier in August, Eintracht had voiced hope Rebic would remain despite the interest from the San Siro sides, with sporting director Bruno Huber claiming they were "still optimistic" of retaining his services.

However, the Croatian international had come in for criticism following a poor performance in the first leg of the Europa League qualification play-offs against Strasbourg, in which he was yanked at half-time.

After the match, Rebic was told by Eintracht head coach Adi Hutter that if he wished to remain with the club, he needed to show it on the field.

Rebic did not feature at all last weekend in a 2-1 loss to Leipzig, as he was left out of the squad.

He was returned to the XI in the second leg against Strasbourg, and though Eintracht came away with a 3-0 victory, Rebic himself was dismissed just before the half with a straight red card.

That sending off will be his final action for the club.

Rebic will make a return to Serie A, having first featured in the Italian top flight with Fiorentina after a €4,5 million move from Hajduk Split in August 2013.

However, Rebic struggled to break into the Fiorentina squad, and ended up spending time on loan with Hellas Verona before heading to Eintracht on a temporary basis in 2016.

The forward has spent the last 3 seasons with Eintracht, the loan being made permanent in 2018. He has 17 Bundesliga goals during his time there, with his high of 9 coming last season.

AC Milan fire Giampaolo after 4 months

AC Milan have fired head coach Marco Giampaolo, making his tenure in charge the shortest of any manager in club history.

Giampaolo was only hired in June as a replacement for Gennaro Gattuso, who stepped down as Milan coach after a fifth place finish meant the club missed out on the Champions League.

However, Milan have lost 4 of their 7 Serie A matches this season under Giampaolo.

Italian media said Milan are expected to replace Giampaolo with Stefano Pioli, who has previously coached city rivals Inter Milano.

Pioli, a self-confessed Inter fan, coached the Nerazzurri during the 2016-2017 season but was fired in May of that campaign after losing 10 out of 27 matches.

It is the second coaching change in 2 days in Serie A after Eusebio Di Francesco left Sampdoria by mutual consent on Monday.

Di Francesco replaced Giampaolo in the summer.

Milan appoint Pioli

AC Milan have officially appointed former Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio coach Stefano Pioli on a 2-year deal.

The 53-year-old is a respected figure in Italian football after spells in Serie A with Parma, Chievo, Bologna, Lazio, Inter and Fiorentina.

He led the Aquile to the Champions League play-offs in 2015 and was praised for keeping the Viola together after the tragic death of captain Davide Astori last year.

Despite that, Milan fans in their droves have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #PioliOut, which has begun trending worldwide.

He is widely considered an underwhelming choice, given he failed with Inter and has not won any senior silverware in 16 years as a coach.

Pioli becomes the Diavolo's ninth coach in 5 years and the eighth to have represented both San Siro clubs, following the likes of Leonardo and Giovanni Trapattoni.

Ibrahimovic rejoins AC Milan until end of season

AC Milan have confirmed striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rejoined the club on a free transfer.

Ibrahimovic has signed a 6-month contract until June 2020, with an option to sign for a further year. The move is subject to Ibrahimovic passing a medical, which will take place on 2 January.

The 38-year-old former Manchester United player has been a free agent since leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season.

Milan are currently 11th in Serie A, scoring just 16 goals in their 17 league games. They fired head coach Marco Giampaolo in October after just 4 months in charge. He was succeeded by Stefano Pioli.

Ibrahimovic previously spent 2 seasons at AC Milan, after initially joining them on a season-long loan from FC Barcelona in August 2010.

The Swede helped the Rossoneri win the Serie A title that season before signing for them permanently in June 2011.

He left for Paris Saint-Germain a year later having scored 56 times in 85 appearances.
