According to Football Market reports, whether AC Milan can introduce a new striker in the winter window depends on whether Santiago Jimenez will stay.
Allegri clearly told the management in the summer window: Milan needs a shooter who can score double-digit goals and a shooter who can fill the penalty area. What he needs is a striker like Vlahovic, who has been Milan's long-term target. The start of the new season has made this need even more clear, and fans hope that the club can solve this problem in the winter window.
In recent days, rumors about suitable candidates that AC Milan may introduce also point in this direction: from Jonathan David to Lewandowski, to Joaquin Panicelli and Francoulino Gruda, to name a few.
Milan's first task in the winter window is to add an experienced and capable player to Allegri's existing center back lineup. Bringing in a new No. 9 followed, but the decision hinged on whether Santiago Jimenez should stay or go. Only when Santiago Jimenez leaves the team will director Tare continue to promote the transfer market and look for a player who fits the head coach's tactical philosophy.
Brentford and Sunderland have both inquired about Santiago Jimenez and are interested in him. The player himself still believes that he can make a career in Milan: Milan remains his first choice now and in the future.
In recent weeks, transfer market personnel have paid close attention to Midtjylland's games, hoping to sign Francoulino Gruda. Milan is very interested in the player. He has played 14 times in the Danish League this season and has contributed 14 goals and 3 assists.
Roma is also interested in Francolino Gruda and hopes to introduce him in January next year, and Bayern hopes to sign him next season. Juventus' David's fate remains unclear, and Lewandowski's transfer is complicated by salary issues. Tare has been in contact with Vlahovic's agent: both Juventus and Spalletti hope to renew the player's contract, while Milan is still waiting for an opportunity.
