"Jean-Philippe Mateta and Niclas Fullkrug are two of AC Milan's targets for the centre-forward position, currently evaluating a January signing. Given the lack of goals from their strikers, namely Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku, Milan are looking to reinforce the squad in January. The duo only have one goal each, both scoring in the Coppa Italia, which certainly isn't good enough."
"As reported by today's edition of Corriere dello Sport (see photo below), Crystal Palace's Mateta and West Ham's Fullkrug are two of the players that Milan have identified. Furthermore, they are also keeping an eye on Parma's Mateo Pellegrino, as well as a few Premier League outcasts. However, after spending about €158m in the summer to reinforce the squad, Milan don't exactly have a massive budget for the upcoming window."
"Sales cannot be ruled out, as such, even if the most likely candidate Santiago Gimenez is very keen on staying. In our latest bonus article on Substack, we took a closer look at how Milan's budget can be boosted, relying on some of the current loanees. There is some risk involved, but the Rossoneri might have some more wiggle room than they first thought."
AC Milan seek a January centre-forward after their primary strikers have produced only one goal each, both in the Coppa Italia. Identified targets include Jean-Philippe Mateta, Niclas Fullkrug, Parma's Mateo Pellegrino and several Premier League outcasts. Heavy summer spending of about €158m has constrained the club's budget for new signings. Player sales remain a possible route to raise funds, though Santiago Gimenez is reportedly keen to stay. Selling or recalling loanees could provide additional financial flexibility, but those moves would carry risk despite potentially offering more wiggle room.
