GIMENEZ IS THE MVP FROM AC MILAN v BOLOGNA
AC Milan came away with a solid 3-1 win over Bologna at San Siro, with Santiago Gimenez emerging as the standout performer of the evening. With a brilliant display, he led the Rossoneri to victory: the Mexican scored twice - in the 73rd and 92nd minutes - to help the Rossoneri come from behind and, in doing so, once again showcased his value on the pitch.
Gimenez was a real thorn in Bologna's side from the moment he stepped onto the pitch. His first goal was a precise left-footed finish through the goalkeeper's legs from a Pulisic assist, while the second was a clinical right-footed strike set up by Chukwueze. His ability to find space and convert chances proved decisive in securing a positive result for AC Milan.
Gimenez's stats speak for themselves: two goals from two shots on target in just 25 minutes. His presence changed the game, underlining his importance to the team. Santi, who played five successful passes, also contributed defensively, showing real strength and character. His form continues to improve as he looks to build on his goal in Venice. The Mexican striker has now bagged six goals in an AC Milan shirt.

Inter make initial contact for Como manager Cesc Fabregas
Serie A giants Inter are yet to be sure about Simone Inzaghi's future and have made contact for Cesc Fabregas. Corriere dello Sport have reported about the Nerazzurri's decision, which will hinge on their key meeting with Inzaghi tomorrow. There are no outright indications about the Italian's departure but they do not want to be caught unprepared. Advertisement Fabregas has rejected all offers that have arrived in his direction in an attempt to stay at Como. But he has been clear that he would only accept a call from Inter. It has now arrived and the Spaniard will become the likely candidate, if Inzaghi does depart for Saudi Arabia or takes a one-year sabbatical. Contact was made yesterday and Inter believe that Fabregas will be the best candidate because of versatility and ability to use a back three, which he has used multiple times in the season.
