Moncada not satisfied with Milan results but backs Conceiçao
Milan visit strugglers Venezia at the Stadio Penzo in Sunday's lunchtime game in Serie A.
You can follow the build-up and live commentary on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.
The Rossoneri sit ninth in the Serie A table, but have finished the season unbeaten against city rivals Inter and qualified for the Coppa Italia Final.
'We are not satisfied with the table in Serie A. We want to do more. It's important to win trophies, and it would be important to win two,' Moncada told DAZN before kick-off.
'We want to win the Coppa Italia. It's the only chance to reach Europe, but we want to do more.'
Sergio Conceiçao has been under pressure since the very start of his tenure, but could he remain at the club until the end of his contract in 2026?
'We are very happy. He's worked hard in three months, bringing an important methodology to Milanello, and we work well together,' said Moncada.
The Rossoneri are also looking for a new sporting director, but the latest updates from Italy suggest they won't appoint a new executive before the second half of May.
'We always talk about scoring goals, but performances are also important. We got many games wrong, and we can do more. We have a structure, we have Milan, and people work hard,' said Moncada.
'We think about hiring a sporting director to develop the club and take it to the next level, but our current structure is already important.'
How about Luka Jovic? His contract expires in June, but Milan have an option to extend to 2026.
'He and the coach have worked well to reach this level. We are happy,' concluded Moncada.
'We have it all under control in terms of his contract. It's not a renewal, but it's an option, and we hope he can do well in the coming games.'

Analyzing Milan's transfer business before the start of Serie A
It's been a transformational window for Milan. Massimiliano Allegri has come in and given pre-season form, he seems to have had a solid impact on the side. The transfer business has been impressive too. Major incomings: – Samuele Ricci, Defensive Midfield, From Torino, €23m – Pervis Estupiñán, Left-Back, From Brighton, €17m – Luka Modrić, Central Midfield, Free transfer – Ardon Jashari, Central Midfield, From Club Brugge, €36m – Koni De Winter, Centre-Back, From Genoa, €20m Major outgoings: – Tijjani Reijnders, Central Midfield, To Manchester City, €55m – Theo Hernández, Left-Back, To Al Hilal, Undisclosed – Malick Thiaw, Centre-Back, To Newcastle United, €35m – Francesco Camarda, Centre-Forward, To Lecce, Loan How have they done? : In Reijnders they have lost one of the best players in Serie A at a price under the current market rates. At the same time, in Ricci and Jashari, Milan have picked up a midfield core that could stay with them for years. Modric on a free could be more useful in the short term than many probably realise presently. De Winter has been brought in to replace Thiaw like-for-like. However, despite Theo Hernandez's drop in form last season, Estupinan feels like an inadequate replacement. What remains to be done? : Milan continue to be linked with Dusan Vlahovic and Allegri is a fan of the player. Him and Santi Gimenez might not want to fight it out for one place but the Serb is a potential difference-maker. Rasmus Højlund had also been linked. So Milan seem to be on the market for another striker very clearly. Kaulik Mitra | GIFN

Done Deal: Tchatchoua ready for Wolves after 12m offer accepted
As Football Italia reported earlier today, Wolverhampton Wanderers made a €12m offer for Jackson Tchatchoua, and Hellas Verona have now accepted. Our transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà had revealed the figures of the latest proposal of €12m. That proved to be convincing enough for the Serie A side, while the player has also agreed personal terms and given the all clear. It means the Cameroon international should fly out on Friday to undergo his medical tests and sign the contract. Tchatchoua and Verona convinced by Wolves proposal VERONA, ITALY – DECEMBER 08: Jackson Tchatchoua of Hellas Verona during the Serie A match between Verona and Empoli at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on December 08, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Several clubs had shown an interest in Tchatchoua this summer, including Nottingham Forest, Galatasaray and Olympique Marseille, while Milan, Inter and Napoli were linked at one stage. However, Wolves came in with the right €12m bid and the right-back is heading to Molyneux. He turns 24 next month and has been at Verona since 2023, when he arrived on loan from Charleroi and then made the move permanent for €3m a year later. The player contributed two goals and three assists in 36 Serie A appearances last season.

Pedulla: ‘Kone & Lookman Would Be €100M – Impossible For Inter Milan To Afford Without Sales'
Alfredo Pedulla believes that signing both Manu Kone and Ademola Lookman would be 'impossible' for Inter Milan to afford without sales. Pedulla reported, via FCInter1908, that deals for the two players would cost around €100 million in total. Manu Kone has emerged as a surprise transfer opportunity for Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri reportedly see the France international as an ideal profile for the holding midfield position. Inter have no shortage of midfielders who can play in a more advanced role. However, midfielders like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu are not as well-suited to playing in a double pivot. Meanwhile, Inter are also still in the hunt for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. They have been trying to sign the Nigerian for weeks, and have had a couple offers rejected already. Pedulla: 'Impossible For Inter To Afford Kone & Lookman Without Sales' BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman meanwhile. However. Moreover. Meanwhile of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Alfredo Pedulla reported that 'I'm not aware of any direct contacts for Kone.' 'But there's a frenzy among agents looking for opportunities,' he continues. 'And clearly Inter would be a great opportunity for Kone.' 'Then, Roma value him at €50 million,' Pedulla reported. 'Including add-ons.' 'We'll see if they hold to that, and whether Inter abandon the possibility of signing Lookman.' Pedulla then commented that 'I'm keeping the 'if' in front of it because it would be a dramatic change in strategy.' 'Particularly given the wait for the player. And the €3-4 million difference between their offer and Atalanta's asking price.' 'Signing both would take €100 million,' Pedulla reported. 'Which would be difficult without major sales.'
