Christmas is here and the AC Milan fans are eagerly awaiting a couple of signings on the mercato, even if these ‘presents’ will not arrive today. According to a report, there are two positions the Rossoneri want to reinforce.
It has been a tough first half of the season, currently sitting in eighth place, and it’s clear that Milan need something in January to lift their spirits. Of course, perhaps even more so than fixing a mentality, the Rossoneri need reinforcements to compete with their rivals.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan fans might find two (belated) presents underneath the Christmas tree shortly. In addition to a Sandro Tonali-esque midfielder – as Newcastle are unwilling to sell him now – a deputy for Theo Hernandez is also needed.
A Tonali-esque reinforcement
It has been clear for quite some time that a Tonali-esque profile has been missing from the Milan midfield. So much so that the former Rossoneri man himself has been linked with a return, but he’s doing very well at Newcastle and the latter have no intention of selling him.
As such, Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are focusing on alternatives, and these are all profiles that can act as a shield in front of defence but also participate in attack. The hottest names are Reda Belahyane (Verona), Morten Frendrup (Genoa) and Carney Chukwuemeka (Chelsea), as the report continues.
Long-awaited Theo deputy
Milan have needed a Theo deputy for several years now and the Frenchman’s form at the start of the season has just emphasised this. Alex Jimenez has been doing a good job in the last few games but ideally, he would play on the right instead – which is his favourite position.
The main targets for this position are Fabiano Parisi, who is leaving Fiorentina, and Empoli’s Giuseppe Pezzella. Parisi’s teammate Cristiano Biraghi is also an option but he’s not preferred given his age (32 years old), even if he has a lot of qualities.
Another “great” article by calciomercato.
Milan has plenty of Tonaliesque midfielders.
Then they name 3 players totally different from Tonali.
2 defensive midfielders and an attacking midfielder.
It is what it is.
This team has been projected to fail, so don’t be surprised Bro.
I pity us the fans 💔💔💔
I like Belahyane, but at least we have Bennacer for back up.
What we need is a goal scorer, right now both Morata and Tammy are not as sharp as they should be. Someone like Sesko will be good.
You haven’t seen Sesko play. He’s a dreadful finisher.
Correct. Over hyped
Acmilan should please retain Theo Hernandez the remove, Emerson, Loftus cheek,tomori and Okafor our signing should be Warren Bondo or fredup for defensive midfield, an attacking midfielder like Ryan cherki or okliqueno maghnes and leao deputy, musah or chukwueze should be as left winger
AC Milan needs a new and right coach. There is a lot of decline in the quality of the players themselves now.
You know who would be a great Tonali-esque midfielder? Tonali.. and we had him
Smh 🙄
He was banned for a year and we banked a lot of money for him, how can you possibly complain about that, are you well?
That one went over your head. Try again and merry Christmas 😅
It always goes over this kid’s head….
If we could secure the signing a striker in the calibre of Gyokeres or Osimhen for CF, then somehow by payment in instalments secure Florian Wirtz for AM, our transfer worries and adjustments would have been solved by 80% for the next five years rather than buying some random 20m worth players every cycle and same problems still persist.
However, with 20m we could steal Goretzka from Bayern, not bad at all.
Yeah, they’re looking for a tonali with a 5M€ price tag to sell for 50M€ in two years. Easypeasy, right? Call Billy-boy and ask the algorithms who that 16-year-old kid is and get your checkbook ready.
How about we buy ricci he’s quality young and Italian!!!!
All we will get under the Christmas tree is the return of Bennacer and a lump of coal
Gerry needs to keep that $$ to pay off his romantic getaway in the Maldives with Ibra, Furlani and Moncada. They shared a room to keep the costs within budget per Furlani so no worries
