Juventus have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Robert Lewandowski in Italy, but a face-to-face meeting with the Polish striker’s agent Pini Zahavi has yet to take place, leaving the situation unresolved as the Barcelona forward continues to weigh up his options.

According to Fabrizio Romano, via CalcioMercato, Juventus have established a degree of priority over AC Milan through intermediary contacts with Zahavi, though the in-person meeting that will determine whether Italian clubs have a genuine chance remains to be scheduled.
Milan had moved first, attempting to replicate the kind of deal that brought Luka Modric to Serie A, but Juventus have since overtaken them in the race.
Lewandowski’s contract at Barcelona expires on June 30, making him a free agent, though the club retain a renewal clause in the agreement. Barcelona have so far respected an informal understanding that they would negotiate with the player before activating it rather than impose the option unilaterally.
The Poland international and his family are understood to want to gather all available proposals, including any renewed offer from Barcelona, as well as approaches from Chicago Fire and clubs in the Middle East, before making what is described as a life decision as much as a footballing one.
A resolution is not expected until after Barcelona have officially wrapped up their Liga title challenge.
Ismael Kone has a €35 million release clause in his Sassuolo contract that is valid until the end of July, with Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus all understood to be among the clubs interested in signing one of Serie A’s standout performers this season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, via TuttoMercatoWeb, contacts between the parties are expected before the start of the World Cup, which Koné will feature in as a key member of the Canada squad.
Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali has also addressed the situation publicly. “I haven’t spoken with Inter or Milan about Koné, but it’s also true that we have had some requests from foreign clubs,” he said. “It’s possible that an Inter-Milan derby could emerge. We need to find the best situation for him, but at the same time for us too.”
Milan sporting director Igli Tare has already publicly confirmed his club’s interest, and with the release clause set at a fixed figure, the race is likely to come down to the player’s preference rather than a negotiation over fee.
Inter and Juventus have also been linked with the Sassuolo man, in what promises to be a difficult battle for his signature.
As Carnevali noted, there is also interest from abroad in the Canadian, meaning Italian clubs will want to act fast to avoid missing out.
Koné will head into the summer with considerable leverage, having established himself as one of the most dynamic midfielders in Serie A this season.
Milan passed up the opportunity to sign Donyell Malen in January, with the Dutch striker having since transformed Roma’s attack under Gian Piero Gasperini and emerged as one of Serie A’s most effective forwards in the second half of the season.

According to CalcioMercato, an intermediary offered Malen to Milan during the winter window, but the club declined to commit to an operation worth a total of around €27 million.
Instead, Roma secured the former Aston Villa forward on an onerous loan of approximately €2 million, with an obligation to buy that will be triggered should the Giallorossi qualify for next season’s Europa League or Champions League.
The numbers make for uncomfortable reading from a Milan perspective.
Since joining Roma, Malen has scored 11 goals and contributed two assists in 15 Serie A appearances, adding a further assist in the Europa League against Bologna.
The Dutchman left Aston Villa seeking a club that would trust him as an out-and-out centre-forward rather than a wide attacker, and Gasperini’s direct, vertical system has brought out the best in him.
Milan’s January business, by contrast, yielded little. Sporting director Igli Tare operated without a significant budget, and the arrival of Niclas Fullkrug, the only notable attacking addition, has produced just one goal, against Lecce.
Reports in Italy claim that Luka Modric returned to the Milan training centre this morning. Hence, the Rossoneri hope to see the Croat return to action for the last game of the season despite a recent cheekbone surgery.
Modric’s season with Milan might not be over as Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia and MilanNews, report that the 40-year-old returned to Milanello on Tuesday morning for the first time since suffering a cheekbone injury that required surgery two weeks ago.
It was expected that Modric would not play for Milan again this season, focusing his recovery on the World Cup with the Croatia national team.
However, according to MilanNews, his return to Milanello this morning suggests that the Real Madrid legend will push to be available for the season’s final game.
Milan have won only one of their last five league games and are still not certain to qualify for the Champions League, as their advantage over fifth-placed Roma has been reduced to three points.
Milan host Atalanta next weekend, then visit Genoa in Round 37 and play at home against Cagliari in the final round.
Manchester United are planning to strengthen their midfield this summer, and several Serie A stars, as well as Italy international Sandro Tonali, have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
UK media outlets (via Manchester Evening News) are reporting that Manchester United are ready to invest £150m (circa €173m) in new signings this summer, with a specific aim on central midfield.
Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà has claimed that both the Red Devils and Atletico Madrid are interested in Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with the Colchoneros seemingly slightly ahead in the race, having already offered €30m plus add-ons.
Atalanta, however, aim to get at least €40m from the Brazilian’s sale in the summer, so the race to secure his signature remains wide open.
Italy and Newcastle midfielder Tonali has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but other top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester City, are also considering a move for the ex-Milan star.
Last month, Tuttosport reported that even Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners had attracted interest from both the Red Devils and Galatasaray.
Manchester United are also looking for attacking reinforcements with Milan stars Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic both reported to be on their agenda.
United reportedly scouted Leao during a 0-0 draw against Juventus two weeks ago, and Gazzetta reported last week that the Premier League giants are eager to offer Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee or Marcus Rashford in a potential player-plus cash swap deal.
According to Calciomercato.it is understood that Manchester United are also attracted to Pulisic’s versatility, but are aware that Milan won’t sell the USMNT captain for less than €60m.
Milan risk missing out on Champions League qualification, and Gazzetta warns that failing to secure a top-four finish will have consequences, including the departure of Luka Modric.
Milan have won only one of their last five Serie A games, allowing fifth-placed Roma to move just three points behind them in the standings with three games remaining.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that missing out on a Champions League placement would have significant consequences for Milan, not only in terms of appeal and finances.
To start with, Croatian star Modric would almost certainly leave San Siro at the end of the season if Milan don’t finish in the top four.
Modric’s contract expires in June, and Milan will activate their option to extend until 2027 only if the 40-year-old agrees to stay.
Sky Sport previously reported that Modric would stay at Milan only in case of Champions League qualification and if Massimiliano Allegri stays for one more season.
The Italian tactician’s future at San Siro would also be uncertain without a top-four finish.
His contract expires in June 2027 and will automatically be extended to 2028 with Champions League qualification.
However, failing to reach the season’s main target might convince the coach to leave the Rossoneri, especially with the Italy national team job available.

The Week 35 fixtures have completely transformed the situation, as Milan lost to Sassuolo, while Juventus, Napoli and Como all played stalemates.
This allowed Roma to break back into the race with their dominant 4-0 victory over Fiorentina.
Napoli now have 70 points, Milan 67, Juventus 65, Roma 64, and Como 62.

Silvio Berlusconi’s former colleague Fedele Confalonieri blasted the current Milan set-up, with everyone from owner Gerry Cardinale to ‘fake champion’ Rafael Leao.
It feels like a very long way from the success of Berlusconi’s Milan, who over 30 years became the most successful club side on the planet.
Among those at his side during that time was Confalonieri, who is now the President of Berlusconi’s media company Mediaset.
While attending the launch of a book about the club, Confalonieri spoke to reporters and did not hold back on the current state of the Rossoneri.
“Leao is a fake champion. He looks like he might be a champion, but a champion plays 90 minutes every game. How much does Leao play, really?
“Luka Modric, now there is a champion, he plays every minute, even at age 40. He is someone who won the Ballon d’Or in the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Milan have been through a few owners since Berlusconi sold the club, but Confalonieri is unimpressed with current patron Cardinale.
“A bank owns a football club, what do they care about winning the Scudetto? This is the point. If you are fortunate enough, like Inter now, to have a great President in charge like Beppe Marotta… If we’d had Adriano Galliani at the helm, we might’ve stood a chance.”
When told that the man making the decisions at Milan is Giorgio Furlani, the response was not positive.
“I haven’t met him, and as a Milanista, I really don’t care to.”
Christian Pulisic could be set for a return to English football this summer, with Manchester United reportedly identifying the United States international as a priority target and AC Milan valuing the attacker at around €60 million.

According to Calciomercato.it, via MilanNews24, United have moved decisively for Pulisic, preferring him over other targets including Rafael Leão, with whom a swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee had previously been mooted before falling through.
The Red Devils are said to be attracted by the American’s versatility, with his ability to operate as a winger, attacking midfielder or second striker particularly appealing to the club’s recruitment team.
Milan, however, are not under pressure to sell and are reportedly minded to wait before entering serious negotiations. The club are understood to want to monitor Pulisic’s performances at the World Cup with the United States national team, with the hope that a strong tournament could increase his market value beyond the current €60 million asking price.
A meeting between the two clubs is expected at the end of the season to establish both the player’s wishes and United’s genuine intentions. Despite Milan’s struggles in front of goal in recent months, Pulisic remains one of their most valuable assets and the club have no intention of letting him leave on the cheap.
A move to Old Trafford would represent a return to England for Pulisic, who spent four years at Chelsea before joining Milan in 2023.
Milan have only netted 48 goals in 2025-26, resulting in their worst scoring season in the last 10 years.
Milan have only won one of their last five Serie A matches, collecting just four points in the process.
Their 2-0 loss to Sassuolo on Sunday risks jeopardising their Champions League place, as the Rossoneri have only five points more than Como with three games remaining, and Roma will move three points behind them if they beat Fiorentina tonight.
With 48 goals scored in 35 matches, Milan are expected to terminate the campaign with the worst scoring record in the last decade.
MilanNews has reported the worrying numbers for Milan’s strikers in the second part of the campaign.
USMNT star Christian Pulisic has not scored a goal in the last 126 days, being scoreless since December 28, 2025.
January signing Niclas Füllkrug scored his most recent goal on January 18, 2026. Christopher Nkunku has not scored a goal in 69 days (February 3, 2026 against Bologna).
Santiago Gimenez has spent several months on the sidelines due to an injury and has yet to score a goal in Serie A this term, finding the net for the last time in a league game on May 9, 2025, practically a year ago.
Last but not least, Rafael Leao has not scored a goal since March 1, when the Rossoneri won 2-0 over Cremonese.

Dusan Vlahovic came off the bench for his first goal of 2026 to rescue a point for Juventus against relegated Verona, but it’s a missed opportunity to go third.
The Bianconeri hoped to make the most of Como, Napoli and Milan dropping points, with Kenan Yildiz back in the starting XI after two games as a substitute and Dusan Vlahovic ready for the bench, leaving only Arek Milik and Juan Cabal out of action. A victory here would’ve put the Old Lady in joint third with Milan. Hellas were already doomed to relegation this weekend, with Nicolas Valentini suspended, Gift Orban frozen out for an altercation with a fan, and Armel Bella-Kotchap, Cheikh Niasse, Daniel Oyegoke, Suat Serdar and Daniel Mosquera injured.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
Francisco Conceicao tested Lorenzo Montipò at the near post, then the Kenan Yildiz pull-back for Jonathan David was intercepted, and Andrias Edmundsson threw himself in the path of the David angled drive.
A corner was not cleared very far, so the Pierre Kalulu cross back in was flicked onto the crossbar off Gleison Bremer’s head on 26 minutes.
Manuel Locatelli saw his strike deflected just wide, then the midfielder was perhaps harshly booked for simulation when going down in a coming together with Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro.
Moments later, Verona took the surprise lead when Bremer was caught napping passing out from the back, intercepted by Domagoj Bradaric and rolled across from the left for Kieron Bowie to sweep in. It was all the more remarkable considering Juve had kept four consecutive clean sheets before that gift.
The Scotland international nearly got another when deflected over by Lloyd Kelly, while Edmundsson made another decisive block on Andrea Cambiaso.
Dusan Vlahovic was thrown on for Khephren Thuram after the restart and Juve moved to 4-4-2. A couple of crosses were a little too high for the Serbian, but he got them on level terms and ended his 180-day goal drought by bending a free kick around the Verona wall and into the near bottom corner. Remarkably, it was also the first direct free kick scored by Juventus in Serie A this season.
Akpa Akpro risked an own goal intercepting the Conceicao pull-back to turn over from four yards, but Montipò made two extraordinary reaction saves in the space of a minute, both to deny Conceicao from point-blank range at the back post.
Conceicao also drilled wide from the edge of the area, while Jeremie Boga couldn’t surprise Montipò at the far stick on an Edon Zhegrova cross.
Boga saw his curler intercepted by a Hellas chest in the six-yard box, but Edon Zhegrova was unlucky in stoppages when his angled drive thumped the base of the near post and hit the goalkeeper on the back, but ricocheted back out.
It means both Juve’s games against Verona ended 1-1 this season, dropping four points overall in these fixtures.

Massimiliano Allegri says that he understands his fan’s frustrations, but has urged for calm after watching his Milan side fall to a disappointing 2-0 defeat away against Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon.
The Rossoneri conceded within the first few minutes of both halves; Domenico Berardi finding the net after five minutes and Armand Lauriente after 47, which means that they have now won just one of their last five matches in Serie A. Now, the Rossoneri could potentially slip down to fourth place by the end of Sunday evening.
Click here to follow the action from all of Sunday’s Serie A matches.
“We approached both halves badly, especially the second. We threw it away, that’s how it’s going in this period. You can’t waste 10 months of work. Now we have to think about Atalanta,” said Allegri in a post-match interview with DAZN (via TMW).
“Technically, we made a lot of mistakes. It was a bad day, a bad Sunday. We have to meet again on Tuesday and work to fix it.”
Despite the fact that Milan have not yet secured a Champions League spot for next season, Allegri has no doubt that the Rossoneri will finish the 2025-26 season in the all-important top four.
“It’s not at risk. I would be very happy to confirm it on the final day as well, I’ve always said it. I am with the team every day and this is a difficult moment. We have to stay calm and take responsibility, we have to prepare as best we can for the game against Atalanta.
“We’ve done 10 months of good work, we’re in the final stretch. We haven’t done very well in the second half of the season, we can’t change that anymore. We just have to look ahead.
“Until the end, we have to stay grounded and work to overcome these moments of difficulty. I understand the fans, we all wanted to get over the finish line quickly, but we can’t get anxious.”
Allegri does not deny the fact that the sending off of Fikayo Tomori after 24 minutes had a big impact on proceedings, but didn’t appear too critical of his centre-back, despite his two early yellow cards.
“The sending off conditioned the game. These things happen. The important thing is to get back up quickly. We need two positive results to get into the Champions League, let’s just think about that.”
Allegri was also asked why he decided to take off Christopher Nkunku for Zachary Athekame at the half-time interval.
“I wanted to take the game forward as much as possible and give some balance, but it didn’t help because we immediately conceded.”
It was an afternoon to forget for Milan, who fell to a 2-0 defeat away against Sassuolo in Serie A on Sunday, and were then loudly booed by their travelling supporters in an awkward moment after the full-time whistle.
An early strike from Domenico Berardi was followed by a goal from Armand Lauriente to send Sassuolo 2-0 up against Milan, who had been playing with 10 men since the 24th minute after Fikayo Tomori was sent off for two yellow card offences.
Click here to see how the action unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.
It has been a disappointing end to the 2025-26 season for Milan, who have only picked up four points from their last five matches, falling to defeats against Sassuolo, Udinese and Napoli over that period.
Now, the Rossoneri could end the weekend in fourth place if Juventus win against the already-relegated Hellas Verona later on Sunday evening.
Milan supporters made their frustrations clear after the Sassuolo defeat. The Rossoneri players did not go and thank their supporters in front of the stand, instead staying in the centre circle while being loudly jeered from a distance.
Sky Sport Italia reports that captain Mike Maignan began to lead his players over to the stand to applaud their supporters, but then began to head towards the dressing rooms upon hearing the boos, which only made the reception worse.
Milan will have an opportunity to respond next Sunday when they host Atalanta in San Siro. Then come tests against Genoa and Cagliari to close the 2025-26 campaign.
Milan crumbled in a 2-0 defeat to Sassuolo when down to 10 men for over an hour due to Fikayo Tomori’s red card, as Domenico Berardi and Armand Laurienté scored.
The Rossoneri could catch Napoli in second place with a victory and consolidate the Champions League spot, but Luka Modric’s season was over after surgery for a fractured cheekbone. Ardon Jashari stepped in, with Christopher Nkunku pushing off-form Christian Pulisic to the bench. Domenico Berardi was back after a two-match ban for the Neroverdi, though Darryl Bakola, Fali Cande, Daniel Boloca and Edoardo Pieragnolo were injured.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
It took under five minutes for Berardi to confirm his extraordinary record against Milan, as this was his 12th career goal past them. Kristian Thorstvedt robbed Jashari in midfield and it was quickly moved left to right, for Berardi to bend a first-time finish into the far bottom corner with the inside of the left foot.
Moments later, Mike Maignan made a one-handed save on the M’Bala Nzola counter-attack, while both teams had penalty appeals waved away as Berardi had his arm behind his back, then Armand Laurienté went down too easily under pressure from Matteo Gabbia, the same with Christopher Nkunku at the other end.
Rafael Leao wasted a golden opportunity when blasting wide with only the goalkeeper to beat after a defensive error sent him clear on goal.
Things went from bad to worse for Milan, as Fikayo Tomori brought down Laurienté on the counter for his second yellow card, leaving his team down to 10 for over an hour.
Strahinja Pavlovic made a decisive block on Thorstvedt and Jay Idzes limped off injured, while Alexis Saelemaekers drilled wide.
Sassuolo doubled their lead within 90 seconds of the restart, as Laurienté completed a give and go with Thorstvedt just inside the area, the finish thumped low and hard into the near bottom corner.
Zachary Athekame fired over, while Nzola and Thorstvedt failed to keep their efforts on target, while both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alieu Fadera were booked for simulation in the box.
This result means that with a victory over Verona today, Juventus could catch Milan in joint third place, while they have failed to score in five of the last seven games.

Xorvatiyalı yarımmüdafiəçi Luka Modriç “Milan”da qalacaq.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə İtaliya mətbuatı məlumat yayıb. 40 yaşlı futbolçunun müqaviləsində olan bir illik artırma bəndi qüvvəyə minəcək. O, 2027-ci ilin yayına qədər “qırmızı-qaralar”ın formasını geyinəcək.
Modriç bu mövsüm A Seriyasında 33 oyunda 2 qol vurub, 4 məhsuldar ötürmə edib.
According to Teamtalk, Tottenham Hotspur will allow goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to join Inter Milan this summer, and they’ve already begun assessing their options regarding the role between the posts for next season. Spurs apparently decided back in January they would allow Vicario to leave at the end of the season, and Inter seem to have […]

“Milan” futbolçusu Kristofer Nkunkunu satmaq istəyir.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə İtaliya mətbuatı məlumat yayıb. “Qırmızı-qaralar” fransalı yarımmüdafiəçi üçün gələcək təklifləri dəyərləndirəcək.
Nkunku baş məşqçi Massimiliano Alleqrinin planlarında yer almır.
Yarımmüdafiəçi bu mövsüm 31 oyunda 6 qol vurub.
“Milan”ın xorvatiyalı yarımmüdafiəçisi Luka Modriç yanaq sümüyünün sınığı səbəbindən cari mövsümün qalan hissəsini buraxacaq.
Arena.az xəbər verir ki, xorvatiyalı futbolçu İtaliya A Seriyasının 34-cü turu çərçivəsində “Yuventus”a qarşı keçirdikləri oyunda zədələnib.
Təcrübəli yarımmüdafiəçi qolsuz (0:0) başa çatmış bu qarşılaşmanın sonlarında hava mübarizəsi zamanı Manuel Lokatelli ilə baş-başa toqquşaraq xəsarət alıb. Bu üzdən də o, 80-ci dəqiqəsində əvəzlənmək məcburiyyətində qalıb.
Müayinələrdən sonra Modriçin mövsümün qalan oyunlarında “Milan”a kömək edə bilməyəcəyi müəyyənləşib. Buna baxmayaraq, onun 2026-cı ildə keçiriləcək dünya çempionatında (DÇ-2026) Xorvatiya millisinin heyətində yer alması gözlənilir. Futbolçu mundiala kimi tam bərpa ola bilsə, o zaman forma şansı da qazanacaq.
Xatırladaq ki, Modriç 2025-ci ilin yayında “Real”dan azad agent qismində “Milan”a qoşulub. Tərəflər 1 illik – müddəti 2026-cı ilin iyun ayının sonuna qədər qüvvədə olacaq müqavilə imzalayıblar.
Modriç “Milan”da “14” nömrə altında çıxış edir. O, İtaliya klubunun heyətində 36 oyuna çıxıb, 2 qol və 3 məhsuldar ötürmə müəllifi olub.
Luka Modriç Zaqreb “Dinamo”sunun məzunudur. Yarımmüdafiəçi karyerası ərzində həmçinin “Zrinski” (Mostar), “İnter” (Zapreşiç), “Tottenem” və “Real”da oynayıb.
Modriç 2012-ci ildən “Milan”a keçənə qədər “Real”da çıxış edib. Lukanın “qaymaqlılar”ın heyətində ümumi oyun statistikası isə göz oxşayır: 597 oyun, 43 qol, 95 məhsuldar ötürmə.
Luka Modriç “Real”la dəfələrlə bütün mümkün əsas klub yarışlarında qalib olub. Lukanın “Real”la qazandığı qənimətlərə 6 UEFA Çempionlar Liqası, 5 FIFA Klub Dünya Kuboku, 5 UEFA Super Kuboku, 4 İspaniya La Liqası, 2 İspaniya Kral Kuboku, 5 İspaniya Super Kuboku və 1 FIFA Qitələrarası Kubok daxildir. Həmçinin Modriç çoxsaylı fərdi mükafatların təltifçisidir. 28 qənimətlə Modriç “Real” tarixində ən zəngin futbolçudur.
Luka Modriç hazırda kapitanı olduğu, 2006-cı ilin martında debüt etdiyi Xorvartiya yığmasının heyətində 196 oyuna çıxıb, 28 qol vurub, 31 məhsuldar ötürmə verib.
“Transfermarkt” internet-portalı 40 yaşlı xorvat veteran yarımmüdafiəçinin transfer dəyərini 4 milyon avro məbləğində qiymətləndirir.
1990-cı illərdə Aleks Ferqyusonun rəhbərliyi altında “Mançester Yunayted”in heyətində adını futbol tarixinə qızıl hərflərlə yazdıran, 1999-cu il UEFA Çempionlar Liqasının finalının qəhrəmanlarından olan danimarkalı sabiq qapıçı Peter Şmeyxel İtaliyada sevdiyi klubun adını açıqlayıb.
Komanda.az “pianetamilan.it”-ə istinadən xəbər verir ki, sabiq qolkiper, A Seriyasında onun üçün xüsusi yeri olan komandanın “Milan” olduğunu bildirib:
“İtaliyada sevdiyim klub varmı? Bəli, var. Mənim üçün bu, sözsüz ki, “Milan”dır”.
