"A possible winter fix has emerged for AC Milan's striker issue, and it is a player that knows all about playing at San Siro. According to Tuttosport (via TMW) Milan are searching for 'missing goals'. The attacking efforts have been led so far by Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, because Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez are yet to score in the league. The latter's injury has complicated Massimiliano Allegri's plans further, too."
"Who could arrive? Robert Lewandowski certainly can't be considered for the winter, but he could be considered for the summer, should he not renew his contract with Barcelona and not ask for a salary that's out of budget. The newspaper then adds that the Artem Dovbyk option could be shelved, given he will be out until the end of the year with a muscle tear. Alternatively, Jonathan David, who is struggling at Juventus, has also been mentioned."
"That brings us to Mauro Icardi, now at Galatasaray and a former striker for rivals Inter. The Argentine also being considered as per Tuttosport. He has started just five league games for Gala this season so far - having had to make do with being second fiddle to Victor Osimhen - but has delivered six goals. Icardi boasts the advantage of already having been accustomed to playing in Serie A and in the biggest occasions in front of over 70,000 at San Siro."
AC Milan face a shortage of league goals, with Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic providing most attacking output while Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez have yet to score. Gimenez's injury has complicated squad planning and increased pressure on the January transfer window. Potential targets include Jonathan David, Artem Dovbyk (now injured), and older options such as Mauro Icardi. Icardi currently plays for Galatasaray, has five league starts and six goals this season, and has prior Serie A and San Siro experience. Considerations include his age, salary demands, and possible reluctance to join a former rival.
