AC Milan may have exited the Champions League at the group stage but that will not change the plans to welcome at least three new arrivals during the January transfer window, a report claims.
According to what is being reported by Calciomercato.com, qualifying for the Europa League represents a little sugar to sweeten the disappointment of having been eliminated from the Champions League but it will not change much with regards to the transfer plans.
Milan’s European campaign has brought in revenues of €46.4m so far and dropping into the Europa League requires high competitiveness in two competitions (plus the Coppa Italia too). This is why the Rossoneri management will not change their plans in the winter transfer window.
Two central defenders will arrive and, in all likelihood, a striker as well. The first space will actually be occupied by a player who will return to base in Matteo Gabbia who is on a season-long loan at Villarreal. Jakub Kiwior of Arsenal, Konstantinos Kourielakis from PAOK and Maxime Estève from Montpellier are in the running for the other central defender position.
The discussion regarding the new reinforcement in attack is more complex because Luka Jovic’s growth could lead to more far-reaching considerations, perhaps postponing the attack until next summer. The feeling is that of a management attentive to the opportunities that the January window, like Serhou Guirassy who would cost €17m.
