"Massimiliano Allegri - after having encountered the difficulties of Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku and having relaunched Rafael Leao in a new role - is waiting for a true centre-forward. The coach wants a typical No.9 who can fill the penalty area, jostle with opponents and be a target man. The problem is that any investment will be possible only after selling a member of the squad, which could possibly be El Bebote's exit to the Premier League."
"The name that piques Igli Tare's imagination is Mateo Pellegrino of Parma. Milan got a close-up look at him in the 2-2 draw last month, and he was a real handful for the three centre-backs. He has seven goals in 16 games across all competitions for Parma this season."
"'Sure, it's nice to hear about a team like Milan, but my focus is on Parma. I give everything for this shirt and try to do my best.'"
Massimiliano Allegri seeks a conventional centre-forward who can occupy the penalty area, battle defenders and act as a target man. Any incoming signing depends on a squad sale, with the possibility of a Premier League exit enabling reinvestment. Igli Tare has singled out Mateo Pellegrino of Parma as a leading option. Milan observed Pellegrino closely during a recent 2-2 draw, where he troubled three centre-backs. Pellegrino, 24, has scored seven goals in 16 appearances across competitions this season and states that his current focus remains with Parma.
