Piatek joins AC Milan from Genoa

AC Milan and Genoa have agreed a €35 million deal for the transfer of Poland international striker Krzysztof Piatek, according to Sky in Italy.

Representatives from the two Serie A clubs met on Monday night and exchanged documents finalising the move.

The deal sees Genoa lower their original asking price of €40 million, but Milan will have to pay the fee upfront and include add-ons should they reach a Champions League qualifying spot in Serie A.

Piatek, who will earn around £34,000-per-week, is expected to arrive in Milano on Tuesday night and undergo a medical on Wednesday morning.

The 24-year-old originally joined Genoa for €4 million from Cracovia in the summer, after netting an impressive 21 goals in 36 appearances in the Ekstraklasa season.

His stint in Italy has been just as successful, with 19 goals scored in 21 appearances for Genoa so far this season.

Piatek makes Milan history

Krzysztof Piatek has made history, taking only 310 minutes of competitive football to score his first 6 Milan goals - with 18 attempts.

The former Genoa man found the net 6 times in just 4 starts between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, including this evening's brace in the 3-1 victory away to Atalanta.

Milan TV point out no striker has ever reached 6 goals so quickly in a Rossoneri jersey, as he achieved it in just 310 minutes of game time.

That crushes the previous record-holder Gunnar Nordahl, who took 419 minutes.

Mario Balotelli is next on 433 minutes.

Calabria suffers compound leg fracture

AC Milan have confirmed that defender Davide Calabria suffered a broken leg during their Coppa Italia defeat to Lazio, the club have confirmed.

The 22-year-old took a heavy blow to his left leg and appeared in some discomfort on the pitch. Subsequent tests have since revealed he has a compound fracture of his fibula.

Initial reports in Italy suggest Calabria will need approximately 2 months to recover, meaning he will not play again in the 2018-2019 season.

The full-back has made 33 appearances in all competitions throughout the campaign, scoring one goal, which came in the opening weekend of the Serie A season against Napoli.

This is Calabria's second full year with the Milan first team, although he did make his senior debut for the Rossoneri in 2015.

Having emerged through Milan's youth system, Calabria is considered one of Italy's most talented young defenders and can also operate in midfield.

His injury only compounded what was a miserable evening for Gennaro Gattuso's men after they were beaten 1-0 in Wednesday's Coppa Italia second leg, courtesy of Joaquin Correa's second half goal.

The victory was enough to send the Rome outfit to the Final after the first leg finished 0-0 at Stadio Olimpico in February.

It means Milan's season now hangs entirely on their ability to finish in the top 4 and gain a place in next year's Champions League.

The 7-time European champions have not competed in the continent's elite tournament since 2014, but are currently 4th in the table with just 5 games remaining.

However, the Rossoneri are only ahead of Atalanta on head-to-head record and are just a point clear of 6th place AS Roma.

Gattuso and sporting director Leonardo leave Milan

Coach Gennaro Gattuso and sporting director Leonardo have left AC Milan, the Serie A club confirmed on Tuesday.

Gattuso has left by "mutual agreement", while the club accepted fellow former Milan player Leonardo's resignation after a fifth place Serie A finish saw them narrowly miss out on a return to the Champions League.

Sky in Italy understands that the duo had both been left frustrated by the club's transfer policy, which is controlled by former Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

Gattuso, who spent the bulk of his playing career with Milan, took over at the San Siro with the club struggling in November 2017 and guided them to a 6th place finish last season.

Leonardo, who spent 5 seasons playing for Milan before returning briefly as manager during the 2009-2010 season, was appointed in July last year.

Milan appoint Giampaolo

AC Milan have announced the appointment of Marco Giampaolo as their new head coach, with the Switzerland-born 51-year-old signing a deal until 2021 with the option of an additional year.

Milan have been in the hunt for a new coach since Gennaro Gattuso's departure at the end of last season, after the former Italy international failed to lead the Rossoneri to a Champions League spot in Serie A.

Sporting director Leonardo also left the with Gattuso as they sought a complete overhaul.

Giampaolo will now be in charge of leading the revival at San Siro.

The Italian left Sampdoria at the end of last season having led them to a ninth place finish in Serie A, and has previously had spells at Empoli, Brescia, Cagliari and Siena.

AC Milan banned from Europa League

AC Milan have been excluded from the 2019-2020 Europa League as a result of Financial Fair-Play (FFP) breaches, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has announced.

The Serie A giants will play no part in continental competition during the upcoming campaign, despite having secured a fifth place finish last season.

They ended 2018-2019 one point behind arch-rivals Inter and outside of the Champions League spots.

The Rossoneri were due to participate in Europe's secondary club tournament, but they have been forced to withdraw after failing to adhere to FFP regulations.

Milan had faced similar sanctions ahead of the 2018-2019 campaign, with UEFA having brought charges against them intending to block their participation in the Europa League.

That decision was overturned on appeal by CAS and the Rossoneri were reinstated but the Italian giants have been unable to repeat that success 12 months on.

Having been allowed to compete in 2018-2019, Milan ended up being knocked out at the group stages.

A side then managed by Gennaro Gattuso finished third behind Real Betis and Olympiacos, falling at the first hurdle.

With Milan being ruled out of the Europa League for 2019-2020, Italian football has one place to fill.

That invitation will drop one place down the final standings in Serie A from 2018-2019, with FC Torino seemingly now replacing Milan.

Their campaign will start at the second qualifying round, with AS Roma joining old adversaries Lazio in securing a passage straight through to the group stages.

Hernandez to join Milan

AC Milan will complete the signing of Real Madrid full-back Theo Hernandez in a €20 million deal and a 6-year contract, report Marca.

The information has been verified by a number of outlets including Italian transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, with a deal now said to be imminent.

Hernandez was signed by Madrid from city rivals Atletico in the summer of 2017 in a landmark deal worth a reported €30 million but his career has stalled since.

He started just 10 La Liga matches in his first season with Los Blancos and failed to dislodge long-standing first-choice Marcelo at the club.

Hernandez was subsequently loaned to Real Sociedad this season but once again has struggled, featuring in just 24 league games this season and recently being left out of matchday squads entirely.
