Overview

  • The AC Milan forward has five goals in six matches across league and cup and is joint top of the Serie A scoring list with three in four.
  • Opta notes he is the first Serie A player over the past three seasons to reach at least 25 goals and 15 assists, and Milan cite him as the only player since 2023 to hit 35 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.
  • Despite earlier progress on new terms through 2028 at a reported €4–5 million net per year, coverage says the parties have not finalized the renewal.
  • Rafael Leao returned to full training and is expected to be available against Napoli, offering Milan a major boost before Sunday’s test at San Siro.
  • Corriere dello Sport reports Massimiliano Allegri could reshuffle his attack by using Leao and Christopher Nkunku as impact options, potentially affecting roles for Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez.
