AC Milan have provided yet another insight into Massimiliano Allegri’s training sessions via a video on the YouTube channel.
Milan are preparing for the 2025-26 season and they have two friendlies on the horizon in the next 10 days, against Arsenal on July 23rd and against Liverpool on July 26th. Therefore, training continues at Milanello to get ready for the tour.

In the video of the latest session, the team immediately get to work with the ball. “More passes, more verticality, so we can get out of this,” Allegri’s assistants say as the Rossoneri quickly move the ball around in a sort of rondo.
Mike Maignan also featured, working on his reflexes. The ball was deflected from very close range, and the Frenchman had to react as quickly as possible and close the net. The goalkeeper did brilliantly.
Then a sort of training match took place where Leao immediately showed up on the left and scored a beautiful curling goal after getting the better of Fikayo Tomori. The work of these training sessions seemed clear: one-on-one, pressing when not in possession, and quickly counter-attacking.
Leao and especially Ruben Loftus-Cheek drew praise for their running and a lot of desire. The Englishman closed down Yunus Musah on the counter, even drawing a foul, and the coaches shouted: “Well done, Ruben!”
If RLC can stay healthy and give us what he is capable of, he will kill it. I have my doubts but i’m rooting for him.
“RLC is our new midfield signing!” -RedBird
Oddly enough, if he actually stays healthy (and that’s a big if) it will be like having a new player in midfield.
“We have RLC” when I heard that I knew exactly what type of time Tare was on🤣
Hopefully he stays fit, but recent history suggests otherwise.
Let’s see what happens.
Tare and Allegri: We want Jashari, he costs 40 million…
Furliani: Great! In that case your budget is 32 to sign him…6 million more in bonuses if he wins the ballon d’or 5 years in a row.
A and T: They refused the offer.
Furl: Don’t worry, we already have Jashari at home.. Looks over at RLC. There is your reinforcement and new signing. He gets injured all the time and comes back healthy at every transfer window to play 4 games.
A and T: We have to replace the highest scoring left back in our club’s history. we save 20 million on wages and got 25 for the transfer, so we have 45 million to replace him.
Furliani: Oh not quite, you have 9 million to replace Theo Hernandez and the signing has to accept less than 3 million per year….I had to go into a 7 day meeting with Gerry to unlock that budget, he told us that according to his buddy, his software and algorithm analysis, Pobega or Salad can play fullback on either flanks, so you’ll only need a back up for those both sides…
