AC Milan departs today for Singapore, the first destination on their Asia-Pacific tour that will take place over the next ten days and include friendly matches against teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Perth Glory.
The squad available to Massimiliano Allegri is, at the moment, far from complete. Perhaps it was unrealistic to expect the team to be finalized by July 19, but surely there was hope that a few more signings would have been completed by now.
As a result, several areas of the pitch will suffer, with the ex Juventus boss forced to field players who are either not part of the club’s project or are not considered first choices. The clearest example concerns the center-forward position: at the moment, Allegri has only two options, both of whom are expected to leave. One is Lorenzo Colombo, for whom a new destination is being sought after his loan spell at Empoli; the other is Noah Okafor, who is also seen as surplus to requirements. Santiago Gimenez, the only striker in the squad certain to stay, will return from vacation at the beginning of August, as relayed via Milannews.it.
