AC Milan went through this start of the season, until the current break, with many absences. Coach Stefano Pioli had to rely on a limited number of players in multiple matches in such a short period of time.
This is why Frederic Massara and Paolo Maldini are considering to add one more quality player to help, especially in the attack. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud are currently absent, the management thinks about their physical conditions and they could be set to sign a younger heir.
AC Milan enters race with Juventus...
Therefore, Milan have looked into the market and identified a very good profile in Gabriel Jesus who has also been linked to Juventus in the last summer's transfer window.
Gabriel Jesus has been at Manchester City since January 2017 and he is only 24 years old now. He is not a regular starter, but he is getting minutes under coach Josep Guardiola. So far, in 9 seperate appearances, he has managed to score 3 goals and provide 4 assists to his teammates. His current deal with the blue side of Manchester is set to expire in June 2023.
According to what is reported by Calciomercatoweb.it, AC Milan could try to table a two-for-one exchange in order to convince Manchester City. Il Diavolo club might attempt a deal in January involving Franck Kessié and Alessio Romagnoli in exchange for Gabriel Jesus since both Rossoneri have expiring contracts in June 2022.
The contract extensions appear difficult at the moment with Romagnoli and Kessie which is why Maldini and Massara could fix it with one move. "However, it remains complicated to think that Guardiola's team can accept to deprive themselves of Jesus during the current season", concludes the source.
