"AC Milan have a number of strikers on their list of potential targets, but Mateo Pellegrino or Parma is one that stands out. As Calciomercato.com report, Santiago Gimenez's lack of goals and his injury struggles have reignited discussions about Massimiliano Allegri's need for a new striker, even if his agent Rafaela Pimenta claimed a January exit is not possible. Pellegrino on the radar"
"Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were 'impressed' by the performance of Mateo Pellegrino during the 2-2 draw with Parma last month. The Argentine did not score, but he hit the post and was a real handful for the Milan defenders. There is growing conviction that the 24-year-old might just have the technical but above all the physical characteristics for Allegri, who wants a profile that is different to Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku, who should be around long-term."
AC Milan are evaluating striker options due to Santiago Gimenez's scoring drought and injury problems, prompting consideration of Parma's Mateo Pellegrino. Pellegrino impressed figures such as Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a 2-2 draw, hitting the post and troubling Milan defenders with his physical presence. Parma signed him from Vélez Sarsfield for €2m plus 50% of any future resale and rejected a €15m Premier League offer last summer, believing his value can double. Several Italian and foreign clubs have shown interest. Milan may pursue a Pellegrino-type in January and Jean-Philippe Mateta next summer.
