A Milan soccer market: fresh money coming into the meneghine coffers, thanks to a player not even available to Massimiliano Allegri as Alex Jimenez. The reason is soon said: the Spanish outfielder will move permanently to Bournemouth. In fact, the conditions have been met to trigger the buy-back obligation after his match against Aston Villa in the Premier League. In fact, the agreement between the two Rossoneri clubs stipulated that the Cherries would buy the player’s tag if he reached 50 percent of his appearances as a starter. Which he just did.

A true straightforward deal for Milan, but with an asterisk all’but irrelevant. The sale of Jimenez will earn the Diavolo 19 million euros, plus another 5 fruit of bonuses established with Bournemouth. Half of this amount will have to be “turned over” to Real Madrid as per the agreements between the two clubs at the time of the arrival of the 2005-born outfielder to Milan in the summer of 2023, right from the Merengues. It matters little: the capital gain for the Rossoneri will in any case be considerable, certifying the goodness of the de facto operation defined by the club when operations are stopped.

Meanwhile, Milan is preparing to experience a matchless weekend in Serie A, with the rossoneri’s fixture slipped by a week. The Rossoneri will return to the field directly on Friday, February 13, in Pisa, but for the twenty-fifth day. As for the twenty-fourth, however, Wednesday, Feb. 18 is scheduled for the rematch between Milan and Como with kickoff at 8:45 p.m. It is the “fateful” match postponed because it is concurrent with the ’opening of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games. And which, for a long time, was thought to be played in Australia, in Perth.

After their clear success over Bologna, AC Milan had moved back to within five points of leaders Inter’Inter. A gap that prompted Massimiliano Allegri not to make any flights of fancy. “It was crucial to get to 50 points, our goal remains to stay in the top four. At 3-0 the team remained compact, without conceding anything: not conceding goals is always a positive sign” said the Rossoneri coach.

When asked what matters most for Milan, the margin over Roma or the distance from top-ranked Inter, Allegri had no hesitation: “We have to look above all behind us. The championship is still long and there are a lot of points up for grabs to hit Champions League qualification. We enjoy the break and will try to recover important players like Leao and Pulisic”.
