During the next January transfer window, especially if still in the title race, Milan will need to strengthen its squad, which lacks a central defender. Sporting director Igli Tare must also decide whether to bring in a new right winger, though much will depend on Zachary Athekame’s progress. He scored against Pisa on Friday but also made several mistakes.
According to Tuttosport, the striker issue might also return to the agenda. Santiago Gimenez works hard and sacrifices for the team, but he is not a Giroud-type number nine and not a natural scorer, still goalless in Serie A after eight rounds.
One player Milan is monitoring closely is Joaquin Panichelli, a 23-year-old Argentine striker from Strasbourg, standing 190 cm tall, with 8 goals in 11 matches so far.
