ML: Two stand-out candidates emerge as Milan look around for Pellegri’s replacement

AC Milan are not convinced by Pietro Pellegri so far and already scouring the market for a potential replacement, according to a report.

Pellegri did not take part in the trip to the capital to face Roma last night after suffering an ankle problem, and he has so far made just three appearances for Milan having been snubbed from the Champions League squad. He also missed the away match in Bologna, due to an inflammation.

According to MilanLive, the management have their concerns about how much Pellegri will be available especially after all the problems he has had at Monaco and it seems very unlikely at the moment that he will be bought permanently.

There is time for him to change the minds of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara but in the meantime they are looking for a new striker who gives more guarantees. It could be a profile that is young like Julian Alvarez, or more experienced like Andrea Belotti.
