Ahead of the January mercato, AC Milan are evaluating their options with several players. So, a few may have to leave for others to arrive.
The business which Milan conduct in January could be vital to a Scudetto push. At the moment, they lead the pack, but they could have a massive advantage with a few different results. It, unfortunately, has not gone that way, though.

Injuries have been defining again, and whilst the Rossoneri have not been majorly punished for a lack of options in their squad, they have been close to that situation. So January reinforcements cannot be ruled out.
Names on the chopping block
Well, that is with others departing; another variable in itself. As Calciomercato.com write, it will be a sell-to-buy window for the Rossoneri. The financial margins are low, and so decisions will have to be calculated.
At the moment, Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are the big headlines to depart. Neither are out of the door yet, but they could well be in a few weeks. With the Mexican, if a bid of €35-40 million arrives, he could go. Elsewhere, an early exit for Nkunku cannot be ruled out.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek could depart, as part of a deal for Lorenzo Lucca, perhaps, whilst David Odogu will almost definitely leave on loan.
Who is gonna pay 35-40M to bring in Gimenez with this kind of form? I would not call him an established striker who may fail here but will succeed there. He is not the type of ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ striker yet.
He can still go now to play in Arabic league for this money. I agree that no one else is stupid enough.
Nobody is leaving in January. Leave our players alone with your distractions write up. Any time Milan players are performing well the journalists will try to distract our players with their garbage article. They did this to Gimenez and he has not been the player we want him to be.
Leave Milan players alone please leave us alone let us concentrate in our games
Keep RLC idc what anyone says he has been very useful. Even if he is a utility player in the midfield and up top.
Exactly. In the right situation he’s a fine player. He was beating his man like a drum last game.
sell all 3
Yes
What do people actually expect?
Pulisic is currently the leading goal scorer in Serie A.
Leao is joint third with just two less.
So the club already has some of the leading goal scorers in Serie A.
What do fans want?
The four leading goal scorers in Serie A?
How would that even work since if another striker started scoring then Pulisic or Leao would stop scoring (unless Milan started winning games 5:0).
Pulisic and Leao didn’t score these goals single handily.
The other players created assists and space especially the other strikers.
Can they just leave the squad be?
The club is top. The squad is finally settled after 3 disruptive years. Just leave it.
Winning games 5-0? Yes, with a better striker, the margin of victory increases, but you’re right. We’re top and Leao and Pulisic have rarely been fit at the same time. Nkunku should never have been signed, he’s garbage. Our management still don’t look domestically. Piamonti would have been a much better signing than Nkunku. We still need to move away from signing French garbage, Moncada needs to go.
I Agree with you nkunku moncada santi must go there garbage
If your expectations are are that Milan should be winning games 5:0 then Milan will never meet your expectations.
I suppose that’s probably a good thing for you since you can keep talking about transfers.
To be fair, we need reliable depth, Leao and puli are our starters, who have only played together once cause of injuries…We need someone else to partner with them. Santi and Nkunku aren’t doing the job so we need someone else.
I’d like to say bring camarda back into the fray, but do you think he’d manage to perform with that type of pressure? He is still 16 (or 17).
DEPTH!
Of Allegri’s happy with the DEPTH so should you be.
(You get that any one signing could destabilise the whole project if they make the wrong choice.)
Why am I not surprised to notice you don’t see how we’re walking on thin ice with only Pulisic & Leao being able to score goals. How many matches have they BOTH played this season? A team fighting for scudetto won’t be fighting for the scudetto for long if they only have 2 players capable of scoring.
“The club is top.”? Well… That’s assuming we have the whole roster fit. We rarely do. Pulisic & Leao aren’t allowed to heal their injuries properly which means they’ll get injured again. And again.
Allegri is actually paid (a lot of money) to manage the team at seems to worry less about this than you do – a randomer.
Part of the reason the team is competitive again is because Allegri made the very deliberate reduce the squad down to 23.
I’ve been calling for this for years.
You lot are so obsessed with DEPTH. I swear it’s just to give you more transfers to talk about.
In the summer , we had a chance to sign Victor Boniface, but the club executives decide he is not fit enough. And latter went ahead to sign Nkunku who is already dead on arrival 🤣. I can only ask myself the kind of witchcraft is the problem of Milan executive, cause they can’t do one transfer business without buying what will seems to be everlasting problem for the team
LoL i ageee with nkunku worst player ever
