"MilanNews write that the Supercoppa Italiana defeat to Napoli in Riyadh has sent a message to the hierarchy: Massimiliano Allegri is already exceeding the limits of his squad, keeping Milan in second place in the league with a performance that almost seems miraculous. However flattering, the table must not hide a clear reality: Milan, given the quality of its squad and its depth, cannot continue like this or things could collapse quickly."
"Up front, the Nkunku-Pulisic partnership had zero impact. They showed plenty of movement, but no real presence in the penalty area, no ability to make an impact against organised defences. Without a striker, Milan will keep struggling to convert possession into chances. Allegri tries to compensate with order, balance and pragmatism, but he can't continue to invent what the squad doesn't offer. This is why Milan are pushing so hard for Niclas Fullkrug, but is he really the answer?"
Supercoppa Italiana defeat to Napoli in Riyadh exposed AC Milan's squad limitations and signalled that Massimiliano Allegri is already pushing the team beyond its resources. Milan sit second in the league largely through managerial organisation despite limited personnel. The Nkunku–Pulisic partnership produced movement but no real presence in the penalty area, highlighting the lack of a true centre-forward to convert possession into chances. Defensive depth is also inadequate, with Matteo Gabbia's absence revealing Koni De Winter's struggles against physical strikers. Without January reinforcements, the chase for a Champions League place and fourth-place security could be jeopardised.
