""Massimiliano Allegri wants a striker in January, but with very specific characteristics. While he has plenty of quality players around the penalty area, he lacks someone to fill those sixteen meters where matches are decided. Therefore, a striker with a physical presence is needed, someone the team can rely on in times of need and who can also score goals.""
""The name is still shrouded in mystery: several have been floated, but it will be necessary to consider the feasibility of the move in January and also the kind of balance he can create in the partnership of Leao and Pulisic, which will make his debut in Sunday night's derby. "Nicklas Fullkrug, who has been sidelined at West Ham, will certainly be approached by Milan's management, while it's highly unlik""
Massimiliano Allegri has informed AC Milan management that a more physical centre-forward is needed in the January transfer window. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic are adapting from wing roles and continue to score regularly. Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku remain without league goals despite costing over €70m combined and performing well at RB Leipzig and Feyenoord. The required striker should occupy the sixteen-metre zone where matches are decided and offer reliability and goal threat in tight moments. No clear target has emerged yet, and feasibility and balance with Leao and Pulisic will be key considerations. Nicklas Fullkrug, sidelined at West Ham, is expected to be approached.
