AC Milan made several operations in the mercato, a few exits have been made while important purchases did take place. The club is now at the top of the Serie A ranking with Napoli, but more quality is needed to be competitive and keep up with this pace.
One of the signings made in the summer is the arrival of Junior Messias. The Brazilian attacking midfielder has been struggling with physical problems that kept him out of the field for very long. He appeared briefly in the match against Atalanta.
Stefano Pioli is not convinced anymore of Junior Messias and that is why the coach has requested a quality reinforcement from the management.
According to what is reported by Tuttosport, Milan issued an ultimatum to Messias: he must switch gear and prove himself in the coming month. Otherwise, Paolo Maldini will have to go looking into the transfer market window of January and find someone else.
Several names are liked by AC Milan managers such as Noa Lang of Club Brugge who may be a little out of reach due to his high pricetag of 30 million euros. The 22-year-old Dutch player can act as a left winger and a playmaker.
Another Belgian talent is liked by the Rossoneri who is Yari Verschaeren, 20, attacking midfielder of RSC Anderlecht.
There are other important names such as Romain Faivre of Brest and Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. The Moroccan, however, is liked by FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund. In any case, there may be a new addition coming in January's transfer window to keep the squad strong.
