Concurrently, Noah Okafor's departure to Leeds United for £18 million reflects a broader reshuffle in Milan's attacking lineup. Okafor's switch, after a solid stint with significant contributions, paves the way for new opportunities upfront, notably highlighting Milan's recent pursuit of Victor Boniface. More on Okafor's move.

Tactical Insights

The impending loan deal for Nigerian striker Victor Boniface could inject fresh vigour into Milan’s attacking setup, particularly as Silvia Tare tactfully opts for a loan with an option to buy structure, minimizing risk. Boniface, noted for his pace and clinical finish, could offer versatility in the front line—provided he stays injury-free. Milan’s decision to target such profiles indicates a strategy to combine economic prudence with scouting intelligence.

Squad Insight

Ahead of the Serie A commencement, Milan’s pre-season showed moments of brilliance, especially with standout performances from key players like Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, both instrumental in the Coppa Italia triumph over Bari. However, with Leão nursing an injury, squad depth will be tested as manager Massimiliano Allegri contemplates tactical adjustments. The duel focus on nurturing Santi Giménez alongside seasoned talents like Pulisic could shape Milan’s offensive mettle in the opening league match against Cremonese.

Quick mentions

  • Milan's Coppa Italia victory against Bari saw goals from Leão and Pulisic, though Leão was subbed off due to injury concerns.
  • Victor Boniface’s potential arrival is creating a buzz with fans betting on his promise, subject to fitness.
  • AC Milan reflects on glorious Supercoppa Italiana past; adding to eight title victories, a Raphael Leão inspired side seeks more silverware.
  • Luca Ricci, on his birthday, was acknowledged for a promising start at Milan with a goal in a friendly against Perth Glory.
