AC Milan's two seasoned players Olivier Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are currently injured and not yet fully fit to start any games. Coach Stefano Pioli's biggest issue right now is the striker role in the starting lineup.
Il Diavolo medical team and training staff does not want to risk the conditions of the player and having them play earlier than the estimated date of full recovery. Pioli, for now, is relying heavily on Ante Rebic who has performed well as a centre-forward while Pietro Pellegri is not yet fully convincing to earn a starting spot.
The Rossoneri could thus return to the market as early as January in search of a new striker. The possible transfer operation would be signing Luka Jovic from Real Madrid. This track is not a strange to AC Milan as the Serbian talent has already been heavily linked with the club in previous transfer window sessions.
As reported by Calciomercatonews.com, Maldini and Massara could make an attempt for the forward by submitting a dry loan offer. That way, AC Milan would only be paying the wages of 6 months and have a quality player in the attack thanks to a low-cost transfer operation. It is a great opportunity for the club to revive the attack and add more certainty to it, while the Serbian could see this chance as a way to relaunch and rediscover himself.
