"It was a rather quiet month for Milan anyway, with January only seeing a few new faces, as opposed to the churn of last year. This was seemingly always going to be the case, though, with reports suggesting as much before Christmas. Nevertheless, things could have been different, with it clear that another striker was desired. Initially, it seemed Francesco Camarda could have returned, but a shoulder injury impacted things. So, the focus turned to Jean-Philippe Mateta. However, he also did not arrive due to injury."
"The rumours about Arsenal and Juventus? Newcastle are having a hard time letting go of Sandro, and he wants to lead the club into the Champions League. These transfer discussions will take place later. We'll see how the season ends and then we'll decide what to do. There's no preference right now. It's still early. What we're saying today won't apply tomorrow: Newcastle couldn't let him go now, and it wasn't worth moving, especially since Sandro is very attached to the club. We'll evaluate and decide what to do in the summer."
The January mercato closed with limited activity for AC Milan, producing only a few arrivals compared with the previous year's turnover. Milan had targeted another striker, with Francesco Camarda initially set to return before a shoulder injury required surgery and curtailed the move. Attention shifted to Jean-Philippe Mateta, but his transfer also collapsed because of injury. Camarda may gain more playing time at Lecce toward the season's end. Sandro Tonali's future is uncertain; Newcastle are reluctant to sell and Tonali prefers to push the club toward Champions League qualification, with transfer decisions postponed until summer.
