It's over to you to pick your player of the month for January, and the options are: Niclas Füllkrug, Mike Maignan, Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot. From Cagliari to Roma, from 2 to 25 January. It was an intense month, as the Rossoneri played six times, often away from home, recording three wins and three draws. Four players in particular stood out in the first month of 2026. Let's start with our newest arrival, Niclas Füllkrug, who made his debut against Cagliari and opened his goalscoring account for the Club against Lecce.
Then, we have Mike Maignan. As usual, Mike was brilliant in January, continuing his stellar form this season. We have got to talk about the trips to Como and Roma, during which he made several vital interventions. Against Como, he denied Nico Paz and Da Cunha; in the capital, he thwarted Malen and Çelik, and also came close to keeping out Pellegrini's penalty.
Massimiliano Allegri has often highlighted Luka Modrić's constant presence in the centre of the park. He made three starts in January and was named MVP in the game away at Cagliari on 2 January. He was rested against Fiorentina and Lecce, but he made telling contributions in the rest of our fixtures this month. Away at Roma, he was excellent, impressing in his defensive efforts as well as his control in possession.
Adrien Rabiot took centre stage not only with his brace in Como, but also with his great all-around performances. Intelligence, technique, physicality, presence, calmness, and vision, in every area of the pitch. Adrien, who arrived at AC Milan in September 2025, didn't need much time to settle in, and his on-pitch displays have always been impressive, and they are getting better and better.
