There have been questions about AC Milan's mercato antics for a while now, and this week, another has arisen regarding the choice to pursue one player. In January, Milan were rather quiet.

However, it could have been much different had various transfers worked out.
Ten days before this match Milan handled Bologna relatively easily and won 3-0.
