CM: Nkunku to Saudi Arabia with Jesus arriving – Milan considering January possibilities

AC Milan are looking at the front line and considering their options. One is already set to arrive, but it may get busier. 

Niclas Fullkrug, as reports suggest, is about to join Milan, with a deal ready to go in the next 24 hours. However, the German is not the only option for the mercato, and with London already calling, another idea could grow.

Two in, one out?

Fullkrug would arrive as the more physical option for the Rossoneri, one which Massimiliano Allegri has requested for months now. However, that does not solve the other issues.

Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku have both arrived in the past 12 months, and neither has impressed, that much so that one could leave in the January mercato. After Gimenez’s surgery, it seems more likely that interest would be in the Frenchman.

As Calciomercato.com writes, the sirens from Saudi Arabia are sounding, and a sale is possible only six months after he arrived. If that were to happen, perhaps a move for Jesus could be made, who has been linked again in the past 24 hours.

Despite his €9 million salary, the option for a loan is there, and the Rossoneri could consider it with other movements. Fullkrug is the priority currently, but he is not the only option.

  1. If they’re insisting on anothet second striker type after getting Fullkrug, why not Raspadori? He’s scored plenty of Serie A goals, has good work rate and won’t cost anywhere near what Jesus costs.

    1. Well, at least Jesus still knows how to score goals, which is something that Nkunku and Fullkrug apparently have unlearned.

  2. This exchange does make sense.
    Replace a player crippled by injuries who scored 3 EPL goals last season by another player crippled by injuries who scored 3 EPL goals last season. And they’re the same age mind you…

    1. That’s what I have been saying since October. Terminate his loan and put him in the starting lineup. We loaned him to Lecce to get playing time. Why not let him get playing time with our first team. Switch to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and lets see our future now.

  3. Milan’s moves on the january transfer market that we read about (if true) are weak and pathetic. Clear that furlani the clown is king and that he and his boss cardinale are ONLY interested in reaching next year’s champions league with the least possible investment.
    by the way – some advice to that unshaven weasel — seeing that maignan was not so impressive against napoli in saudi, why not put down the offer to resign by €1 million? That will make the weasel look brighter in the eyes of Cardinale ….
