After coaching him at Real Madrid, Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has set high expectations for Luka Modric's impact at AC Milan and Serie A.

Amid all the transfer noise, one subplot has quietly emerged at Milanello: Allegri’s first impressions of Santiago Gimenez.

Two main options remain on the table — a balanced 4-3-3 or a more structured 3-5-2 — and, intriguingly, Christian Pulisic could be the key to solving this dilemma.

While AC Milan has embraced the idea enthusiastically, Como is reportedly more hesitant due to the long travel involved. Even with club support, the relocation requires multiple approvals. The Lega Serie A and FIGC have already given the green light, but UEFA and FIFA must also sign off.

Luka Modric’s Milan journey has recently begun, and while his debut last weekend didn’t start under the bright lights of the opening whistle, it still carried a moment that sent waves through both the stands and social media.

That is the question on every Rossoneri fan’s mind ahead of the team’s first competitive game of the 2025-26 season.

In the midst of settling into life at Milan, Modric became the center of an unexpected — and hilarious — social media moment.

Milan has taken the lead against Leeds United in their penultimate pre-season friendly at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The Rossoneri fans were eager to see Christian Pulisic back in action — but that won’t be happening.

As it stands, Santiago Gimenez — Pulisic’s teammate — is the only recognized senior centre-forward in the squad. Allegri is ready to give the Mexican international a chance to prove himself, but the club is actively exploring options.

The matches will see Luka Modric and Santiago Gimenez potentially make their first appearances in red and black this summer. However, there is one burning question that fans can’t ignore: what about Christian Pulisic?

What caught even more attention wasn't just the record-breaking fee or the tug-of-war with rival clubs — it was his personal connection to one of soccer's greatest icons, Lionel Messi, and a surprising shirt number tribute.

Will Christian Pulisic be fit? Will Luka Modric and Santiago Gimenez finally make their summer debut? These are the uncertainties casting a shadow over what should be an exciting conclusion to Milan’s summer preparations.
