This winter, AC Milan could push for the Scudetto with a few more signings. However, it seems that it may not be so simple.
A report yesterday suggested that Milan’s management were looking to help the team where they could, with the hopes of bringing a Scudetto. It seems that this may not be the case, though. With Carlo Pellegatti suggesting that there may be no arrivals.

He spoke on his YouTube channel this afternoon, and it is fair to say he is feeling rather pessimistic about the upcoming mercato, as MilanNews relays.
“The news, as confirmed by Corriere della Sera, is that if there are no sales, Tare is always ready to seize any opportunity, but if there are no sales, there will be no signings. Forget about defenders, Thiago Silva, Christensen, 20 million for a defender.
“But I’ve always said it, when will we ever spend 20 million on a defender or a striker. Realise that we don’t have Pulisic; he had a problem, even if a nosebleed that prevents Nkunku from playing, we have nothing else.
“It doesn’t matter if there’s no sale, that is, if they don’t bring home the money, the money won’t be invested in the January transfer market, unless there are some loans, some opportunity like that, but investments, if there are no sales, it’s leaked from Milan that they won’t be made.
“It’s pointless, that’s how it works, unfortunately, that’s how it works.
Investment needed or wanted?
It would not be the end of the world if the Rossoneri don’t invest. After all, the squad they have used so far has reached the top of the league, and they do not have the pressures of European competition to deal with.
Of course, extra reinforcements would not be a bad thing, but the Rossoneri are not desperate, like they have been in recent January mercatos.
Scudetto race can be finished by 2 injuries. If 2 central defenders get injured, it will be interesting. Same with attackers. Or Saelemakers, who will replace him? Athekame will do 90 minutes let’s say 7 games in a row after he didn’t play almost any? It can of course go perfectly, without any injuries, but you don’t prepare for best scenario.,.
What about buildimg chemistry and understanding for next season when they do get into the CL? You think a guy will settle in with one training camp and a couple of friendlies then be able to perform at that level or adjust quickly enough to be useful for Serie A regularly? Other than Modric and Rabiot, no one else really established themselves yet. It takes months to do that. They are better off signing sooner than later if the right player is available in January.
I agree with you but not going to happen…They aren’t planning for that until we actually qualify.
they need someone who can score, qualify or not, if we don’t due to a lack of goals then we don’t nake it anyway. If we do qualify without buying..what we mentioned
It’s not that big of an issue. Allegri doesn’t like to rotate anyways. Ricci barely plays, haven’t seen Jashari since returning from injury. Very little time for De Winter or Athekame. A striker would be nice but then who are you sending to the bench? Not Pulisic… Not Leao… Yes, a serious injury to Pulisic would be a big problem but I don’t think a striker is going to fix that problem,
With Allegri ball, Pulisic goes to the bench. That’s just the way Allegri plays. Not every player fits into every system. If they could get Mateta, it would be a good pickup. A good player from a good league.
Not even Allegri is that dumb. Pulisic has been Milan’s best player and probably the best player in the League this season. He has more than earned a starting spot. Bench him and you are guaranteeing he doesn’t renew his contract.
Well my opinion is that we need some depth for Attack and Midfield bc of the injuries that happened like Leao Pulisic Nkunku Gimenez Loftus Cheek Rabiot . And then The probably loan for Odogu so we probably need a CB too.
Lastly but most importantly the contracts for first Magic Mike Maignan Leao Pulisic Salamaekers
So Pellegati stop talking you always talking nonsense
He’s right. He didn’t talk about Milan not need new players, but he thinks Milan cannot afford new signings anymore
