'Would have liked to wait' for Zirkzee - Di Marzio explains why Milan's striker plan changed
"In my opinion, Milan and Roma, both of whom need a centre-forward, the Rossoneri due to the availability of Gimenez and Leao, and the Giallorossi who are looking for a player with different characteristics than those in their squad. Then there's Fiorentina, given their dramatic league position. The idea would be to make as many changes as possible. January shakeups are always very complicated, especially when you have to sell and then buy back,"
"There's a timing issue that weighs heavily. Milan would have liked to wait for him, but I don't think they have much time to secure him or be sure of staying in the running until January 18-20. Milan, on the other hand, want to secure the striker as soon as possible, and Fullkrug could arrive immediately. Then they'll have to evaluate his fitness, as he hasn't been at his best this year."
AC Milan prioritized securing a striker quickly after initially being willing to wait for Joshua Zirkzee. Milan have accelerated interest in Niclas Fullkrug, who could be signed on loan from West Ham, while other forwards remain linked. Fullkrug has struggled with injuries and limited appearances since joining West Ham from Borussia Dortmund, so fitness will need evaluation. Roma and Fiorentina are also active in the market, with Roma seeking different striker characteristics and Fiorentina aiming for major January changes due to a difficult league position. Timing and roster availability are key factors driving moves.
