AC Milan secured an important victory against Napoli yesterday away from home. The three points were the product of a collective work from all the players who participated in the match and it is also thanks to the Rossoneri's number 9: Olivier Giroud who knows how to place himself in the penalty box to find the best chances.
The Rossoneri must continue this way and try to gain as many points as possible in these last Serie A games. The initial target is always top 4 but the dream of winning a Scudetto is there too.
In the summer, though, no matter what happens from now until the end of the season, the club directors should evaluate the performances of the players and what must be done in the market. The attacking contribution must be bolstered and a good way to ensure that is the Serie A experienced versatile forward of Napoli: Dries Mertens.
The seasoned Belgian player who has 9 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances between Serie A, Europa League and Coppa Italia could leave in the summer. In fact, he has a contract which is due to expire at the end of the season with an option for Napoli to extend it by one year.
Calciomercato.it write that Milan could consider going for 34-year-old Mertens if De Laurentiis decides to not renew the player's deal. His experience, quality and skills would represent an important boost to Stefano Pioli's AC Milan. The player can play in the playmaker position instead of Brahim Diaz as well as on the wings.
Mertens would like to remain at Napoli, but if the club does not exercise the option for a renewal, then Milan would try to make a deal with him.
