"The final 10 games of the season are ones which will almost certainly decide the future at Milan for all three players, given that the management will almost certainly acquire a top-class striker this summer to partner Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic."
"The buy-out fee is low, but it remains to be seen whether the directors want to spend money on another centre-forward. The player's intentions also need to be understood, as he has played 12 times (often as a substitute) and has scored once."
"The Mexican will have to exploit every opportunity - unlike at the beginning of the campaign - to convince Massimiliano Allegri that he is a useful element for the attack. He can count on the possibility of a Champions League spot meaning more games and an enlarged squad."
"With a striker coming there should be one or two departures in the department, leaving the trio fighting for potentially one place."
Three forwards at Milan face uncertain futures as the season concludes. Niclas Fullkrug arrived on loan from West Ham in January with a €5m purchase option but has limited playing time and one goal in 12 appearances. Santiago Gimenez returns from a four-month injury layoff needing to prove his value after an already precarious position at the club. Christopher Nkunku, signed for €37m plus bonuses from Chelsea last summer, has experienced inconsistent form and currently sits behind Leao and Pulisic in the pecking order. Management intends to acquire a premium striker to partner Leao and Pulisic, meaning one or two attacking departures are likely. The final 10 games will determine which players remain at the club.
