Paolo Maldini spoke after the game about getting through the groups being a target achieved but also a starting point, as the Rossoneri are ambitious and want to grow more without being satisfied.
In this regard, a hand could come from the market perhaps as early as January, with new signals having arrived regarding Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech. The Morocco international wants to join Milan, and his entourage have expressed this will to Maldini and Massara, also proposing a possible deal via the formula of a paid loan with option to buy.
The Rossoneri management are tempted by the idea but have not yet made a final decision. The idea for January would be to make a couple of additions but only if functional to Stefano Pioli’s plans and to raise the level of the team.

Sure, they’re tempted. Have you seen his last two seasons? He’s frail. Can’t handle physicality.
Sometimes, a player only needs a change of scenery to get his performance back. Many examples and cases on this. So I won’t be against his signing. Moreover if it’s a loan with buy option.
Signing trash just to make signings is not the way to go. Pass on this chunk of poop please.
