Devis Vasquez, a new goalkeeper from Colombia, is on the team and might start the game in place of Ciprian Tatarusanu, according to Milan News. Junior Messias is also working out with the team now after missing about two months due to an injury. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he might be Stefano Pioli's choice. Messias participated throughout the entire team practice.

The bad news for Milan is that Divock Origi has continued to train separately and is still not participating in full training. At the earliest, it appears that Milan supporters will see Origi on the field during their team's Supercoppa Italiana final matchup versus Inter.

Coach Stefano Pioli is hoping to have Divock Origi and Junior Messias back for the game against Torino.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News) has stated that Pioli intends to rotate his starting eleven for the Rossoneri's next Coppa Italia match against Torino. On January 11, the Rossoneri will play Torino at San Siro, but that game will be immediately followed by a Serie A contest against Lecce. Since the cup game is less significant than the title fight, the coach should ideally not start players like Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao. For the game, Messias and Origi both might return from injuries, while Simon Kjaer of Denmark is another player who might do so. He will be assessed in the days leading up to the game and might participate in the matchday squad.

Rafael Leao is wanted to remain at AC Milan

Renewal negotiations for the Portuguese winger, who is probably Milan's most crucial player and whose contract expires in 2024, are in progress. According to Pietro Mazzara, there hasn't been this much hope in the previous 18 months. The figures, which might total €8 million when bonuses are included, are generally accepted. But there must be agreement on the duration of the contract; Milan might even think about a brief extension (perhaps until 2025). This would shield the Rossoneri against low-ball bids from clubs looking to sign Leao. Even a brief renewal would enable Milan to uphold their stated policy of not even negotiating for amounts below €100 million.

This week, Leao's agent and his father will both be in Milan. As a result, fresh updates might be released soon.
