To reinforce the squad of Stefano Pioli in January, the priority right now is to sign a centre-back who can replace Simon Kjaer. But, it is also clear that strengthening the attack would also be a boost to the coach.
Recently, the name of Luis Muriel has been linked with a move to the San Siro.
As reported by Tuttosport in today's print edition, Jeremie Boga is close to make the switch to Atalanta Bergamo which opens the door for a possible exits for Luis Muriel and Aleksey Miranchuk. However, for AC Milan, it will be a difficult task to bring the Colombian attacker because Atalanta will not want to let go of an important player to a rival who is competing with them for a top 4 spot in the league. Moreover, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara do not have a lot of money available to spend for such a profile as the Bergamo side will want to monetise as much as possible.
The track is open, but not easy. However, Muriel is not the only profile being followed for the attack. In fact, there is also Udinese's Beto but he is more of a goal for the summer's transfer window. The same can also be said for Bayer Leverkusen's star Patrik Schick.
