"The Serie A mercato opens tomorrow, and AC Milan certainly needs a few players to arrive. So, we wanted to take a look at who and what is needed. After last year's winter mercato, Milan fans may be expecting a lot of action. However, it seems that will not be the case, barring some sort of miracle. Instead, it looks like it'll be a relatively quiet month with opportunities being needed."
"Of course, the first arrival has already arrived, and it is a deal which has received mixed reviews so far. It is, of course, the arrival of Niclas Fullkrug. Ben Dixon and Oli Fisher discussed the move over on Substack, and both were quite opposing in their views. The German is not the long-term option that Santiago Gimenez was when he arrived last year. Considering how that move has gone, though, that may be a good thing."
"So, the focus must then turn to a defender, and the Rossoneri could probably do with at least one central option. It would also be helpful if they were an experienced choice, but that market is certainly a bit limited. In fact, the only real option there would be Sergio Ramos, but there are concerns about the wage requests that he may put forward. However, as a proven winner, he would certainly be a useful option,"
AC Milan opened the mercato needing several reinforcements despite only one confirmed arrival, Niclas Fullkrug, whose signing has received mixed reviews. Fullkrug is not positioned as a long-term solution like Santiago Gimenez had been. The primary priority is adding at least one central defender, preferably experienced, because the market for proven options is thin. Sergio Ramos is a potential candidate but his wage demands raise concerns. David Odogu appears likely to leave on loan to gain experience, so adding another young center back would upset squad balance. Milan will operate on a strict budget and target key positions rather than luxury depth.
