To stay in a top four position in the Serie A table, the AC Milan club management will have to support head coach Massimiliano Allegri in the January transfer window. The depth must be addressed and perhaps one or two solid signings, the team may even fight for the Scudetto in the final months of the league campaign.
In fact, recent reports have focused on the need to recruit a new central forward, but that move depends on Santiago Gimenez leaving first, writes Milan News.
Does Milan also need a defender?
The only backup for the three starters Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic is Koni De Winter. David Odogu is in the squad, but he is still too raw to enter Allegri’s rotation, which is why the coach asked for a defensive addition. Beyond the dream of Thiago Silva, which is more fantasy than real opportunity, AC Milan are tracking two Sassuolo players, Tarik Muharemovic (Bosnian) and Jay Idzes (Indonesian).
As per the Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport reported this morning a key detail. During Sassuolo-Fiorentina on Saturday, a Milan scout was in the stands of the Mapei Stadium to watch the Bosnian defender born in 2003 and the Indonesian defender born in 2000. Muharemovic, who scored against Fiorentina, is a core player for Sassuolo and is also on Inter’s radar, while Juventus hold fifty percent of a future resale. Idzes has been followed by Milan since his Venezia days, before his move to Sassuolo last summer.
