Serie A news

Luka Modric has urged people to stop reminding him of his age after scoring the match-winner for AC Milan against Bologna on Sunday. The midfielder, who turned 40 last week, became only the fifth player in Serie A history to find the net at that age.

AC Milan have been dealt a significant blow with Mike Maignan set to miss their next match after sustaining another calf injury. The issue, which forced him off during the win against Bologna, adds to a worrying pattern for the Frenchman, who has now missed 54 games since joining the Rossoneri, raising questions over the club's summer transfer strategy.

Ademola Lookman has been warned he faces a tough road back into the Atalanta first-team after he was left out of the squad again on Sunday. The Nigerian has been at odds with the club after his dramatic attempts to force a move to Inter in this summer transfer window. Manager Ivan Juric called it a tense situation as he asked for more "humility" and wants his players to have a "sense of belonging."

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri heaped praise on midfield maestro Luka Modric after his decisive goal secured the win over Bologna. Allegri believes Modric’s exceptional game intelligence keeps him a step ahead of both opponents and teammates, making him an "extraordinary" player.

Christian Pulisic has been urged to take as many lessons as possible from legendary AC Milan team-mate Luka Modric. USMNT star Pulisic is now working alongside a Ballon d’Or winner at San Siro. That is considered to be a good thing for his ongoing development, both as a football player and one of the most marketable performers in the global game.

Rasmus Hojlund marked his Napoli debut in style as the Manchester United flop scored in a 3-1 Serie A victory over Fiorentina, before expressing his delight at joining what he described as an “incredible” team. The Denmark striker joined on loan with a £38 million obligation to buy and wasted no time in making an impact for Antonio Conte’s side.

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte was effusive in his praise for Rasmus Hojlund after the Danish forward, signed on a season-long loan from Manchester United, contributed to the team's 3-1 win at Fiorentina by scoring on debut. Conte, who managed Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League, joked about his former rivals, the Red Devils, and thanked them for letting Napoli sign Hojlund.

Manchester United fans couldn't believe that Rasmus Hojlund scored on his Napoli debut against Fiorentina after his Old Trafford exit. Antonio Conte pushed hard to bring Hojlund back to Serie A, securing a deal that could become permanent for £38 million ($51m) if the Italian champions secure Champions League football next season. Early signs suggest that wager could prove to be a masterstroke.
