Santiago Gimenez has never managed to fully blossom in Milan, and now it is a problem for Massimiliano Allegri, as he remains stuck at zero goals in Serie A after nine matchdays. For this reason, Tare and Moncada are already moving to reinforce the squad in January, aiming to provide the coach with a new forward. The hot name is Joaquin Panichelli, a 2002-born striker from Strasbourg.
What did Panichelli's agent say?
Martin Guastadisegno, Panichelli’s agent, shared his thoughts with MilanPress on the future of his client: "No news with Milan. At the moment, I haven’t heard from anyone, even though I have a good relationship with Furlani and Moncada. Have there been contacts in recent weeks? No, but he is a name that Milan knows and has been following for some time.”
Evaluation and contract:
The 23-year-old forward, a product of River Plate, has already scored 10 goals this season. His contract runs until 2030, and he is valued at around €25 million. The relationship between Milan's management and Strasbourg, which is owned by Ted Boehly (the magnate who also owns Chelsea), is excellent. The key question now is how Panichelli would fare in a league like Serie A, as pointed out by Calciomercato.com.
