"Milan's squad is not a deep one after the cull that took place ahead of the season, and while some of the new additions - Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, above all - hit the ground running, others took a bit of time to get going. Over the past few weeks in particular, we have begun to see more across the board."
"The story of 2026 so far is Christopher Nkunku though. Actually, it dates back to the end of 2025 when he scored a brace against Hellas Verona, and since then nobody has scored more than him, with seven goal contributions to his name. And then were was one Everyone is doing better then, except one player. Pervis Estupinan was signed from Brighton in the summer to replace the outgoing Theo Hernandez, with a fee of €19m agreed for the Ecuadorian."
Milan's squad lacks depth after a summer cull, with some signings like Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot making immediate impacts while others needed time to adapt. Defensive form has improved, notably Koni De Winter earning a presumed permanent starting role. Young attackers and midfielders such as Zachary Athekame, Samuele Ricci and Ardon Jashari are developing and carving out roles. Christopher Nkunku leads recent attacking output, accumulating seven goal contributions since late 2025. Pervis Estupinan, signed from Brighton for €19m to replace Theo Hernandez, has struggled after an ankle issue, losing the wing-back role to Davide Bartesaghi and appearing increasingly tentative when selected.
