Serie A champions AC Milan are reportedly in talks to take up the second headline role in The Sydney Cup, according to a report. After theRangers withdrew from their role as support act, tournament organisers are having to explore their options to find a big name to appear.
As per The Scottish Daily Mail, I Rossoneri are in talks regarding this role despite Everton being eyed for the position too. The Sydney Cup organisers will reveal the club’s opponents in due course for the money-spinning tournament in Australia during the Winter Break as the World Cup takes place in Qatar.
With the World Cup taking place in November, an early winter break has been pencilled in for the Scottish clubs and the rest of Europe as the stars take their place at the tournament in Qatar.
