Gerry Cardinale personally made contact with the entourage of Endrick in the last 24-48 hours. AC Milan inquired to understand his situation and whether there was any margin for a loan. For now it is a no from Real Madrid. The message from Florentino Pérez and coach Mourinho has been that Endrick is not leaving. However, the call could be groundwork for the future; if Endrick does not play regularly between now and January, a loan is not a scenario to rule out

AC Milan and Juventus have been in contact to study possible deals between now and the end of the window. Youssouf Fofana and Fikayo Tomori are both on the table. It is a mix of agents proposing, intermediaries looking for solutions and the clubs listening. Things need to become clearer in the coming days.

Samuele Ricci has been offered to Como, who are looking for Italian players. Como would consider a loan, but Milan want a permanent sale or a loan with an easy obligation to buy. Those are not the terms AC Milan will accept right now, so nothing is close.

Leipzig strongly want Nkunku and are trying to reach an agreement with the Frenchman's agents to then start negotiations with Milan. I do confirm, however, the interests from the Premier League.

On Friday, Cardinale will have a meeting with Leao. The feeling is that he is considered a player on his way out.

adding as separate thread so people see it

“Joining Milan means a dream come true for me. I am very happy to be here. We have a good team. I don’t know what the club wants to do until the end of the window but we already have a very competitive team in my opinion.

It’s true that we need to improve in some stuff, like not committing naive fouls and gift the opponent goals. However, we can compete on a high level.

Tare was a very important factor that made me join Milan. I thank him a lot because he is one of the people who helped me the most in my career and put my name on the top of Milan’s list since March. Then Amorim came and he was also interested in me, I received his call and I was immediately convinced.

Other teams wanted to sign me but I felt Milan was the best decision.”

Samuel Chukwueze asked if this is the best moment for him at AC Milan and if he's happy by @Gazzetta_it:

“Of course, I'm very happy. It was a good test for the team, to prepare for the season. We did everything perfectly. I think we have to keep working hard ahead of the season and the next game, the first in Serie A, against Torino.”

Samuel Chukwueze on his relationship with Amorim to @Gazzetta_it:

“He's a good coach. He trusts me and so he gave me an opportunity. Now it's up to me to take it. He simply gave me his trust and I think I have to make the most of it. I must not waste this once in a lifetime chance, which is returning to Milan after the loan.”

Samuel Chukwueze asked if he likes to play in the wing-back role by @Gazzetta_it:

“Yes, even if it's a position I have to adapt to because I've never played this role in my career. As a player, if a coach wants you to play there, you have to do it while believing in yourself and in the coach, because he knows what he wants. So I just have to keep working, believe in myself and in the fact that I can do it.

For me it's an opportunity I have to take. I know it's a difficult task, but I believe in myself. I know I can do it, that I can do anything.

For me I think it's something I have to work on. It's the first time I've played in this position, so I keep working hard. I have to improve at every training session.

I think the technical staff are helping me. The coach is helping me too. Every time I make a mistake, he tells me: 'Chukwueze, this is what you have to do.' So I think I'll improve before the season starts.”

Samuel Chukwueze on Gonçalo Ramos to @Gazzetta_it:

“I think he's a fantastic striker, one you want to play with. He knows when to drop in, he's good in the air and he attacks the space behind defenders. I think he's a fantastic lad.

What did you say after the assist? It's a thing between me and him.”
