Antonio Vitiello, a reporter for MilanNews.it, released a new video on his podcast discussing the latest developments involving AC Milan.

Below is the content from the first half of the full video:

Hello everyone. Let me clarify the current situation. Today, Gerry Cardinale, founder of RedBird Capital, arrived at the Milanello training center around noon. He arrived at the main gate of the training facility, but this time he chose to drive rather than take a helicopter as usual. The main reason was that Milanello was experiencing severe thunderstorms at that time, which were so intense that team training had to be temporarily suspended due to heavy rain. Additionally, there was heavy rain in Milan, which made the weather cooler. In summary, Gerry Cardinale arrived at Milanello by car.

Next, we will dive into all the details of today's discussions, including specific news about one player. But before getting to the main topic, I want to mention and share my thoughts on AC Milan's latest initiative, and I hope everyone will eagerly participate in the discussion in the comments section below and share your views. In my opinion, this is a commendable, necessary, and excellent initiative: to commemorate and honor our legendary captain Franco Baresi by printing a special message on the team's sleeve badge.

The text reads "6 per sempre (6 forever)," and shirts bearing this message will be worn by players throughout the entire season, not just in Sunday's Serie A season opener against Torino. It will be worn consistently from the first match to the last, including not only the senior men's team but also the senior women's team, Milan Futuro, and all youth academies.

Throughout the 2026-27 season, every level of the AC Milan family will wear this symbol on their sleeve as a sign of respect and remembrance for this great captain. I believe this will not be the only commemorative event this season. The club is planning other related projects, and I believe fans will be relieved that the club has not forgotten its roots and always remembers the legendary captain Baresi.

Now let's discuss another very important topic: the transfer market. After arriving at Milanello, Cardinale held meetings and discussions with his colleagues first. Those involved included club executives Almstadt, Calvelli, and Lomonte, as well as all leaders of the youth department and Milan Futuro, such as youth director Vergine, Kirovski, and Bobby Gardner. In summary, when the owner visits, all relevant executives gather at Milanello, almost like attending a "work report."

The news that AC Milan fans have been waiting for and are most concerned about from this meeting is: AC Milan's transfer market remains completely open. Yes, the transfer window for AC Milan is still open. AC Milan still needs to sign additional players in the market, but we need to understand the specific timing and moment, because today is August 21st and tomorrow is the day before the Serie A season opener. The post-match press conference tomorrow will be held at 1:30 p.m., and we will go to Milanello to listen to the first post-match press conference by new head coach Ruben Amorim before the Serie A season opener.

Therefore, AC Milan still needs to strengthen the team in at least two areas: defense and attacking midfield. The transfer market remains open, and what we need to understand now is what type of players they will target and at what level: will they continue to spend significant amounts—40-50 million euros per player—or will they simply look for "undervalued quality" at cheaper prices with good value toward the end of the window?

However, based on information we've gathered from Cardinale's communication and personal interactions with new Portuguese head coach Ruben Amorim, AC Milan remains very eager to bring in new players. This reinforces confidence and should put to rest some of the incorrect rumors that have circulated over the past few hours.

In fact, I have two pieces of news to share with you today, not just one. And one of them is very positive good news. I'll start with that: in this morning's training session, Christian Pulisic fully participated in team training, which means that as of today, he has been cleared and has fully recovered from his previous injury. This is undoubtedly good news.

Although I don't think he will play in the season opener against Torino this weekend, we will see whether he makes the squad. Making the squad might be difficult, but the possibility of him starting or playing directly is almost zero. However, in the next match against Venezia, he should be able to come on as a substitute and play for a short period to regain his form.

So the good news here is that AC Milan is at least welcoming back a key attacking player. Hopefully this will be a completely different season for Christian Pulisic. Of course, I apologize—I don't mean to say "different from usual"—because if he performs to his usual standard, it would already be an excellent season, as Christian Pulisic typically plays brilliantly under normal circumstances.

However, last season, particularly since January, his performances have been disappointing. This includes physical and health factors, as well as some psychological factors, because he may have been expending most of his energy and mental focus on the World Cup that was coming up at that time. In summary, since January, Christian Pulisic's performances have not been at the high level we expect. We sincerely hope that this season he can make a fresh start with renewed drive and a more positive attitude.
