"Massimiliano Allegri's impact at AC Milan has been instant, with fans dreaming of the Scudetto. Igli Tare is at work to give him a hand, a report claims. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) write this morning, the first quarter of the season is effectively over and Milan are in a good spot. Having been revitalised by Allegri, the Rossoneri are in second place in the table, just two points behind Roma in first."
"This summer, Milan went on a 'slimming diet' reducing their squad to just 19 outfield players. This decision seemed risky from the start, and it has already taken its toll this season, especially in the last month when Allegri has had key players out due to injury. For this reason, the January transfer window must bring reinforcements to provide the depth needed to go deep in a potential Scudetto race."
"The three priority signings are as follows: a central defender, a wing-back and a striker. Milan wanted a more experienced centre-back in the summer before all options vanished and they invested €10m in the very young David Odogu instead. Thus, another option in that role might be needed, as an injury would leave the department exposed. In midfield, a back-up is needed for Alexis Saelemaekers, one of Allegri's favourites but a player who will need a rest in time."
AC Milan sit second in Serie A after an 11-game unbeaten run under Massimiliano Allegri, two points behind Roma. The squad was trimmed to 19 outfield players over the summer, leaving limited depth that has been exposed by recent injuries. January recruitment is necessary to support a title push, with priorities a central defender, a wing-back and a No.9 striker. Milan invested €10m in youngster David Odogu but still lack an experienced centre-back. A back-up for Alexis Saelemaekers is needed, and sporting director Igli Tare has begun negotiations with agents to identify suitable targets.
