Pellegatti: Milan's striker investments since 2012 yield 'poor' results - Bacca 'underrated'
"The topic of these lines... the centre-forward. Present, future, and distant future. I'll mention, but only briefly, the striker for next season, because today, even speculating on his role is pure... smoke and mirrors. For different reasons, but all valid and indisputable. The first concerns Europe, which AC Milan will be involved in. Playing in the Champions League requires a greater investment in the transfer market, but also makes it more attractive to players who might be contacted by Igli Tare."
"The second reason stems from the potential growth of forwards - especially young ones - who have not yet made a significant impact on international football, but who could become key players over the course of the season. The third, but not least, depends on the owners' and management's willingness to invest a significant sum in the centre-forward. Today I wanted to study the post-Inzaghi statistics, and the results were shocking."
AC Milan continues to struggle to find a reliable No.9, with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao maintaining consistent output while Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku, each signed for over €30m, remain goalless in the league this season. Igli Tare is working on January transfer options such as Mauro Icardi and Artem Dovbyk as short-term fixes. The club views Robert Lewandowski as a major target for next summer, aiming for an Ibrahimovic/Giroud-style coup. Recruitment choices are shaped by Champions League participation, potential in-season development of young forwards, and owners' and management's willingness to invest.
