Massimiliano Allegri is setting the tone in a dynamic AC Milan environment. The Livorno-born coach is focused on achieving a powerful start to the season. The first-team squad for Serie A will convene for training camp as early as Friday, with key players expected to report immediately. The plan involves early starts and double training sessions, which Allegri considers the ideal preparation. “I am changing Milan,” is the phrase that La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights on its front page to summarize his approach. This rigorous preparation is underway while the former Juventus coach is still on vacation in Sardinia.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan is looking to refresh its attacking options following the departures of Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa. Striker Bonny is set to join Parma; the deal, reportedly worth €24 million, is fully agreed upon, with only the medical examination left to schedule. The French center-forward is expected to earn around €2 million per season.
On the other side, Pio Esposito is already integrated with the Nerazzurri squad. He is currently participating in the Club World Cup with Cristian Chivu`s group and has shown promise, particularly after scoring against River Plate. However, recent reports indicate he has suffered a minor muscle strain, which could potentially cause him to miss the upcoming round of 16 match against Fluminense.
Regarding Juventus, the final Italian representative at the Club World Cup, the club`s management is actively engaged in discussions regarding Jonathan David. They are reportedly nearing an agreement for the Canadian player, who, according to this report, left Lille as a free agent. However, the presence of Dusan Vlahovic within the current squad is reportedly hindering the finalization of the David transfer. Consequently, the “Bianconeri” need to expedite efforts to find a new club for the Serbian forward.
