AC Milan fall at Fiorentina after De Gea’s penalty heroics

AC Milan slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina on Sunday after having two penalties saved by star man David De Gea, while Juventus fell further behind Serie A leaders Napoli on a day of spot-kick drama. Albert Gudmundsson lashed home the decisive goal in the 73rd minute of a match in Florence which was packed with drama and featured three failed attempts from the penalty spot. The 27-year-old’s winner was made possible by De Gea pulling off two incredible stops to deny Theo Hernandez and then Tammy Abraham from scoring penalties in a superb display from the former Spain goalkeeper. Those saves contributed to Milan missing the chance to move second above champions Inter Milan and Juventus, with the latter held 1-1 by Cagliari due to Razvan Marin’s late penalty. “We need to work out why we p...

Milan and Inter scrap latest plan to solve their San Siro saga

Milan offered hope to land their top target from Monaco

Paulo Fonseca was clear about whom Milan want to bolster their midfield, Youssouf Fofana, and Monaco are starting to be more open about his departure. Recent reports suggested the Rossoneri could wait until 2025 to scoop him up for free. That’d be highly detrimental for the Ligue 1 side. His director Thiago Scuro, who was very stern in recent weeks, spoke with L’Equipe (via Fantacalcio). “Fofana wasn’t called up for the last friendly because, if he has no intention of staying, it makes no sense for him to be involved in the preparation. We discussed it internally and backed this choice. I’ve had many conversations with him last season. He clearly voiced his desire to leave this summer. "In his opinion, his cycle has ended. We must respect it. It wouldn’t be logical to keep ahold of som...
