AC Milan had the chance to capitalise on a lack of European football this season to claim there 2oth Scudetto. However, they have fallen short due to a poor second half of this campaign. Milan are now struggling to guarantee, Champions League football for next season despite being one point off first at the start of January.

The only signing they would make would be Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham United. This deal was agreed before the transfer window opened as the struggling Fullkrug looked for a way to return to form. However he has been unable to do this for Milan, with only a single league goal in 19 games.

This left the attacking hole open for Allegri’s men as they had struggled to score all season. Fullkrug would also be the only signing that Milan would make in a poor window. This came in a period were AS Roma managed to pick up Donyell Malen. Malen has been exceptional for Roma scoring 13 goals in the league.

Milan however where close to bringing in a second striker. A deal to sign Jean Philippe Mateta went down to the deadline, as Juventus and Milan competed. Eventually, Milan would get the edge agreeing on a deal with Mateta. However, the deal would fall through as Mateta failed his medical.

It was found that Mateta needed surgery and his season would likely be over. However, he has paid through the injury and has done so impressively. This has lead to Milan being re interested in Mateta for this summer. This comes from a report from Nico Schira as Mateta still wants to leave Palace.

Juventus will likely be one of the busiest teams, in this summer transfer window as they look to build a new team for Luciano Spalletti. This summer for the Bianconeri will likely mirror the one that Thiago Motta had when he was hired. However, a lot of those signings have turned out unsuccessful for Juventus, which is something Spalletti and Comolli will hope to avoid.

Michele Di Gregorio is one of the names, that Juventus signed before Motta’s first season. Di Gregorio started off on fire for Juventus being an elite shot stopper. But his form has fallen off during this season, under Luciano Spalletti, and now could be replaced after this season.

Juventus, mainly Luciano Spalletti already have a name in mind to replace Di Gregorio. According to TuttoSport, Spalletti wants to sign Alisson Becker from Liverpool. The two have already worked together before Alisson signed for Liverpool for Roma, which is why he is pushing for the deal.

It is one of the main reasons that Alisson is open to making a move for Juventus. He also wants to have one more chance as a top European club, before making a move somewhere else to slow down before retirement, This has lead him to agreeing on a three year deal with Juventus.

Alisson three year deal will be worth, 4.5 million euros per season which is a figure that Juventus can afford to pay. Meanwhile, this is not all that needs to be done to complete a deal. Juventus will also have to agree to terms with Liverpool, who are willing to let Alisson go for 15-20 million euros.

This season has been one of the worst for Romelu Lukaku in his professional career. He started this season picking up an injury in pre season, which would see him delay the start of his season’s by three months. Lukaku would miss an additional two month not returning for Napoli until they played Juventus in January.

His recovery would keep him coming off the bench, playing pinch minutes for most of the rest of the season. This would see Lukaku score only one goal this season against Hellas Verona, as he missed more time with continuous injuries would plague his recovery.

Lukaku’s latest injury came while on international duty with the Belgian national team last month. This sparked controversy as he didn’t return to Naples for recovery until almost three weeks after it happened. Napoli’s relationship with Lukaku was soured because of this as they wanted him back immediately for recovery.

When, Lukaku did finally return he ignored Antonio Conte only speaking to the club backroom staff. Conte and Lukaku have been know to be inseparable in the past with Conte signing him for Inter Milan and now Napoli. At the same time, Rasmus Hojlund has been an excellent fill in to Lukaku as he has scored 10 league goals in 29 games.

This could lead to Napoli looking to sell Lukaku this summer to get rid of the problem all together. Matteo Moretto is now reporting that Lukaku could look to make a move back to Milan this summer. This comes as he has enjoyed the lifestyle there in the past.

However, a move to Inter Milan is unlikely as they have their four strikers set. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny is a solid core for Cristian Chivu. But, AC Milan do need a striker and Lukaku could be an option as Massimiliano Allegri wants a more conventional number nine.
