In the coming hours, Rafael Leão could undergo continuous medical tests to assess the extent of the latest calf injury sustained during the Coppa Italia match against Bari last Sunday, August 17, 2025.
The hope is that it’s only a minor issue, but regardless of the Portuguese number ten’s physical condition, the AC Milan club management absolutely need to bring in another striker in these final ten days of the transfer window.
Igli Tare has reiterated that the club will intervene in that area, but given the squad at Massimiliano Allegri’s disposal, it is actually essential to invest in a top-level signing.
AC Milan are looking to win, and the fans are also looking for that same goal, on the pitch, and perhaps off the pitch.

Milan, goals are needed...
There is a great need (and desire) for a player with real substance, making use of the budget generated from the numerous sales this summer: €70 million from Tijjani Reijnders, €40 million from Malick Thiaw, €25 million from Theo Hernández, plus €10 million from Emerson Royal, €14 million from Pierre Kalulu, and probably another €20 million from Noah Okafor. Part of that money has already been used to buy seven players, but the team deserves at least two more reinforcements: a striker, as mentioned, and ideally another strong, experienced central defender capable of building from the back.
Work continues on Rasmus Højlund of Manchester United, though Napoli have entered the race in the last few hours following Romelu Lukaku’s injury. The name of Dušan Vlahović remains very much alive, we’ve been saying it for two months now, and until the very end he’ll remain a profile highly appreciated by the Rossoneri. It’s a financially complex operation, but if Milan truly want to make a significant attacking investment, they must seize the opportunity. Other names on the list include Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and some last-minute outsiders like Alexander Mitrović, among others.
Finally, the San Siro situation...
Anyone who was at the stadium for Milan–Bari on Sunday knows exactly what we’re talking about. It was surreal to sit through 90 minutes in near silence, with only the away fans singing. A depressing scenario, to say the least, and one that cannot be sustained for the entire season. A solution must be found soon, for the atmosphere in the stadium, but above all for the support the team needs. A “mute” San Siro helps no one.
The Coppa Italia match was the first glimpse of head coach Max Allegri’s ACMilan. On Saturday comes the Serie A opener, and it’s vital to start on the right foot. Without the European competition, Milan are obliged to fight for the Scudetto, as Fabio Capello rightly pointed out in a recent interview. Fine, keep expectations modest to avoid unnecessary pressure. But the Rossoneri always have the duty to go for it, especially in a season with just one match per week.
