The Corriere dello Sport newspaper today takes stock of the performance of AC Milan's new acquisitions and what should happen in the summer for those who have disappointed expectations: halftime substitutions against Monza were a clear rejection for Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze, and even Luka Jovic, to whom Stefano Pioli had given trust from the first minute to give some relief to the starters after the hangover in the Europa League.
The performance, however, has fallen far below expectations, highlighting how the squad for the coach is shorter than expected and in stark contrast to the intentions of last summer's club to provide as many solutions as possible among the players to field.
At the end of the season, proper evaluations will also need to be made regarding Jovic's position, who seemed to have made strides in terms of scoring before squandering the new chance as a starter with a foolish mistake. Certainly not the best idea for a player in search of consistency in performance, called to be Giroud's deputy in every way and who is playing for confirmation of an additional year, contractually, until 2025, as reported by Milan News.
The final rush between the league and the Europa League will be an important test for many, to the extent that we cannot exclude a new coming and going next summer after the ten new faces arrived at Milanello just a few months ago.
