MILAN

In the heart of Italy's fashion capital, amidst the architectural splendor and bustling streets, lies a rivalry that transcends the beautiful game. The Derby della Madonnina, the fiercely contested match between AC Milan and Inter Milan, is more than just a football game; it's a battle for the soul of the city, a clash that has defined generations and sculpted the identity of Milanese football.

This season's encounter, however, was a spectacle that will be etched in the annals of Serie A history as a Milan clash for the ages.

Arsenal football club received a permanent offer for star midfielder, Mesut Ozil, on the last day of the January transfer window from an unknown Qatari based club, but head coach Mikel Arteta stopped the deal from happening.

Reports suggest that the German could have left the gunners for the Middle East if not for the intervention of their manager, though apparently the German star would favour a move to Italy.

AC Milan head coach Vincenzo Montella has dispelled rumours linking Chelsea out-of-favour star player Cesc Fabregas with a move to the club.
