But that's not all: another name in the spotlight is Dusan Vlahovic. The Juventus striker, an old acquaintance of Allegri, would represent a big hit. The interest is confirmed by Matteo Moretto and Di Marzio. The biggest obstacle remains the player's high salary, who must speak with Juventus' Director Comolli.
Another name appears: Darwin Núñez, according to Matteo Moretto, the Rossoneri have sounded out his position despite the high costs. Milan's goal is clear: to take a top-level striker.
Zinchenko + Kiwior, and Modric's visits are delayed
Milan is not limited to just the attack. According to Sky Sport, the Rossoneri are also seeking reinforcements in defense. The name of Oleksandr Zinchenko has returned to the forefront, Arsenal's left-back, considered the ideal heir to Theo Hernandez.

The Ukrainian is valued for his international experience and leadership matured in the Premier League, first at Manchester City and now at the Gunners. However, the salary issue remains to be resolved.
For La Gazzetta dello Sport, the name of Kiwior is also added: appreciated for his versatility and experience already gained in Italy.
Who, on the other hand, has already found a total agreement with Milan is Luka Modric: according to Sky Sport, there are no doubts about the operation, with the Croatian player undergoing medical visits after the Club World Cup in the USA with Real Madrid.

Michal Oleksiejczuk wants Marvin Vettori afer UFC 319 win: 'I can break this guy'
CHICAGO – Michal Oleksiejczuk feels like a different fighter now that he's training with the Fighting Nerds in Brazil, and thus far, the proof is in the results. Poland's Oleksiejczuk (21-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) spent his last two training camps with one of the hottest teams in the game today, and is thrilled with his decision – especially after recording his second straight first-round finish by stopping Gerald Meerschaert in the United Center at UFC 319. "This was my second time in Brazil and my skills, my cage game, my ground game – all is better," Oleksiejczuk told reporters during a post-fight news conference. "I am happy my corner gave me great energy." Things were not in a good place for Oleksiejczuk just a year ago. After ending his 2023 campaign with a first-round finish of Chidi Njokuani, things took a nose-dive in 2024. Oleksiejczuk lost all three of his fights, two of which were first-round stoppages. Since switching to the Fighting Nerds, he finished Sedriques Dumas in the first round at UFC 314, and followed it up with the opening-round TKO of Meerschaert. Now, the Polish middleweight has his eyes on a ranked opponent. "I think that my skill is ready for top 15 now," Oleksiejczuk said. "I want fight with Marvin Vettori. I think this is very good fight because Marvin is from Europe, I am from Europe, Poland, and I am ready. I think a lot of people want this fight." Vettori currently holds the No. 13 spot in the UFC's official 185-pound rankings. He's in a similar place to Oleksiejczuk last year, having lost three straight fights. If and when they meet, Oleksiejczuk believes he can be the first fighter to stop the ultra-durable Italian. "I know Marvin is very tough fighter, but I think that this is my time," Oleksiejczuk said. "I can break this guy, I am sure."
