"Milan's search for a striker over the last decade has been, with a few rare exceptions, a veritable curse. This is still terribly true in the now-flops of Gimenez and Nkunku: who cost not a small sum, a combined total of €75m. Rewinding the tape, there are many flops up front: from Luiz Adriano to Kalinic, passing through Higuain, Piatek and André Silva,"
"Milan is the only club in Serie A that has yet to score a goal through its centre forward. Gimenez and Nkunku are still without a goal. The Frenchman was brought in with the idea that he could play the role; Tare himself recently stated that he's played as a centre-forward 70% of the time in his career: this is not even remotely apparent today."
AC Milan have repeatedly failed to find a reliable long-term centre-forward despite substantial spending and occasional successes. Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez have not scored in Serie A, leaving Milan as the only club in the league without a goal from its centre-forward. The club has linked several potential mid-season targets and even eyed a free transfer for Robert Lewandowski next summer. Historical forward signings such as Luiz Adriano, Kalinic, Higuain, Piatek, André Silva, Mandzukic, Origi and Morata are judged flops, while Ibrahimovic and Giroud stand out as rare successful acquisitions. Nkunku reportedly lacks finishing aggression and confidence in the final third.
