"There is no shying away from the fact that AC Milan have had torrid luck in the striker mercato in recent years. Now, it must change. Whether Milan have had poor luck or made poor choices can be debated. Santiago Gimenez, on the face of it, should have done much better than he has, considering how he was scoring in the Netherlands 12 months ago."
"The topic of a center-forward for January and especially for June is undoubtedly a hot one. As for January, AC Milan will be looking for a striker to make up for the lack of physicality, power, and ability to fill the penalty area, which was also lacking against Parma, for example. AC Milan will probably sign a striker. Forget Jonathan David, Lewandowski, or Icardi, they won't come."
"I counted the players they cost, starting with Balotelli, the only one who, along with Carlos Bacca, would be a permanent starter today. Bacca is very underrated, but in his first year he scored 18 goals and in his second 14 in the league. I'll read the others to you: Torres 1 goal, then there was Lapadula. Then André Silva and Kalinic arrived, for whom €60 million were spent. Total goals between the two: 8."
AC Milan have repeatedly failed to secure effective strikers, with numerous costly signings producing few goals. Recent arrivals such as Alvaro Morata and Charles De Ketelaere underperformed, while Santiago Gimenez has not matched prior scoring form. The squad currently lacks physicality, power, and a forward who can occupy the penalty area. The club plans to pursue a center-forward in upcoming windows, prioritizing players who can provide a consistent goal threat. Historic investments returned limited value relative to fees, and several high-profile targets are considered unrealistic for Milan's immediate transfer plans.
