AC Milan team managed to finish the first half of the season with 42 points to their name, but the first are their Serie A bitter rivals Inter who have 46 points in the table. Stefano Pioli's squad slowed down in terms of performances due to the injuries. It would be interesting to see how the club management plans to reinforce the team in the January transfer market window.
The club obviously has a priority to do first: finding a centre-back to reinforce the defensive area due to the injury of Simon Kjaer. But, the attacking midfield is an area that must be reinforced as well.

Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley could be sold in January by Chelsea in order to find more funds to make some important purchases, reports The Sun.
The Rossoneri management, for their part are interested in the Morocco international with great interest as he is not enjoying an excellent form with coach Thomas Tuchel.
Paolo Maldini is a fan of the player and sees value in him that can help Stefano Pioli really well. A move for him in January is not excluded. The player will not even be part of the African Cup with his national team as he was snubbed by their head coach. To revive his career, it seems that his future can be elsewhere. Chelsea could try to let him go in this transfer window. AC Milan will be keeping a close eye on the situation. But, other important European clubs are on the the 28-year-old star, as per Calciomercatoweb.it.
According to the data provided by Transfermarkt, Ziyech has played so far 1049 minutes this season. He featured in 18 matches, scored just three goals and assisted 4 others. The former Ajax man has a contract valid until June 2025. He can also play as a right winger.
