"AC Milan did not end up signing Jean-Philippe Mateta on deadline day, so now they will look to land the right striker in the summer. As Calciomercato.com report, the last 48 hours have seen practically everything happen. Milan agreed a deal worth over €30m with Crystal Palace for Mateta on the penultimate day of the window, but then in the last few hours they walked away following multiple consultations over knee issues."
"Who now? Massimiliano Allegri will have to make a virtue of necessity in this second half of the season. The attack is full of issues at present: Leao has pubalgia, Pulisic has iliopsoas bursitis, Fullkrug has a toe problem, Gimenez has an ankle problem, and Nkunku is still adapting to Serie A. The Rossoneri management are working on a striker for the summer and the name at the top of the list remains Dusan Vlahovic."
"The issue is that his entourage are asking for €10m in commissions, making it far from a 'free transfer'. Joaquin Panichelli is seen as a highly intriguing prospect by Milan too. He has 11 goals in 20 Ligue 1 appearances for Strasbourg this season. Milan have already contacted the Argentine's agents and knows they will also need to speak with Chelsea, who have a say given the multi-club model."
AC Milan withdrew from a late deal to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta after medical consultations raised concerns over knee issues, so the club will pursue a striker in the summer. Several forwards are currently compromised by injury or adaptation: Leao (pubalgia), Pulisic (iliopsoas bursitis), Fullkrug (toe problem), Gimenez (ankle problem), and Nkunku (still adapting to Serie A). Dusan Vlahovic is the primary summer target but his entourage demands €10m in commissions. Joaquin Panichelli has impressed with 11 goals in 20 Ligue 1 games, and Moise Kean is likely to leave Fiorentina amid potential Saudi interest.
