What if Niclas Füllkrug were not the only new attacking signing for Milan in January? A difficult scenario, but not an impossible one, even though it would require the departure of Christopher Nkunku, who remains a target for Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club are applying strong pressure and have no intention of backing off, despite the fact that, at least for now, the Frenchman seems keen to stay at Milanello.
Cherif monitored closely by AC Milan:
This is reported this morning by Tuttosport, which explains that, should Nkunku leave, Milan would then be "forced" to sign a new striker, and one name they like a lot is Sidiki Cherif, a 2006-born talent from Angers. Milan’s scouts have watched him closely on several occasions in recent weeks, and the reports have been entirely positive. The initial idea was to try to sign him in the summer, but everything could be brought forward by a few months if Nkunku departs. Competition is strong, as some German clubs have also set their sights on him, but a move to Milan is highly appealing to the young striker, whose agents already met with the management at Via Aldo Rossi in mid-December.
Eric Dier offered to AC Milan:
While the possible arrival of a new attacking signing depends on Nkunku’s departure, Milan are certainly looking for a new defender to reinforce the back line. Max Allegri’s preferred option remains Federico Gatti, his former player at Juventus, but the Bianconeri have already said no to a swap deal involving Koni De Winter. A move for Fenerbahçe’s Skriniar or Bayern Munich’s Kim is almost impossible. In recent hours, Eric Dier, a 1994-born Monaco player, has been offered to Milan.
