AC Milan are looking to edge out their cross city rival, Inter Milan to the Scudetto this season. For Milan to do see they will need to improve their goalscoring. This has come in the last month or so Milan have required late goals to either draw or win games, but things are improving slowly.

The signing of Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham, has helped Milan’s attack. Fullkrug came up big against last Sunday for AC Milan, scoring the winner vs Lecce only three minutes after coming on. However, Fullkrug turns 33 in a couple of weeks, and with that age is hard to see him being a permanent replacement for Milan.

Of course AC Milan, still have Santiago Gimenez who is set to return from his ankle injury soon. However, there is uncertainty around his future, as his player profile isn’t liked by Milan coach, Massimiliano Allegri. Gimenez also doesn’t have the goal numbers to convince anyone at Milan to keep him.

Gimenez has now been at Milan for a year, and has only scored seven goals in his time. He had plenty of chances to find the back of the net for the Rossoneri playing a total of 30 games in his time at Milan. This poor form and dislike by Allegri is leading to Milan looking for his replacement.

This has lead to AC Milan making contacts to multiple strikers this month. Now, Santi Aouna is reporting that Milan have managed to agree terms with a striker. This is Jean-Phillipe Mateta who is looking for a way out of Crystal Palace this month. The only obstacle in his way for doing so now is Milan and Palace agreeing on terms for the deal.

However, this won’t be a easy feet as Palace have already turned away offers for Mateta. Juventus had terms agreed with Mateta but they were denied a deal by Palace. (read more here). AC Milan could fall into the same trap if they don’t agree to terms with Palace quickly.

AC Milan have been an up and down team, over the last few season but some things have been constant. Christian Pulisic has been one of them, as it seems no matter the circumstances he can score. This has slowly led to him becoming one of Milan and Serie As best players.

With all of this talent it is hard for Pulisic to go unnoticed by foreign clubs, and according to TuttoMercatoWeb some have. Liverpool and Arsenal are both keeping track of Pulisic incase he doesn’t sign a contract extension with Milan. Arsenal and Liverpool have both been known to struggle for goals.

Firstly, Arsenal despite being first in the Premier League is one of the worst goalscoring sides. Most of Arsenal goals has come from set pieces as winger, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have struggled. For Liverpool meanwhile, they will likely lose Mohamed Salah after this season and will need a replacement in the summer.

However, reports from Matteo Moretto via Youtube state that Milan have very little to worry about losing Pulisic. Firstly in his current contract AC Milan hold the rights to a one-year option. This means that his current deal will run until the end of the 2027-2028 season.

AC Milan are still confident for a new deal for Pulisic, as talks have started in the past. However, currently they are on hold as AC Milan decided to complete other deals first. There is only one key problem for AC Milan, and that is if with a new deal they will lose the tax empetion to the Decreto Crescita, as he is a foreign player which will increase the price of a renewal for Milan.

Atalanta has been in the market most of January, looking to buy and sell attackers. This came as they hired Raffaele Palladino during November and they are looking to build a team around him. This lead to the signing of Giacomo Raspadori, as they beat Roma to sign the former Napoli attack. (read more here)

However, Atalanta aren’t only in the market for buying they are also selling. This comes as some players are no longer wanted by Palladino. One of these players is Kamaldeen Sulemana who was wanted by both Napoli, and AS Roma. However, he will likely not be allowed to leave. (read more here)

This comes as Atalanta will sell Ademola Lookman, before the end of the window. This comes from a report from Matteo Moretto which states that Atletico Madrid has closed a deal to sign the Nigerian. The easy part for Atleti was closing a deal with Atalanta, while Lookman needed some convincing.

Atletico Madrid outbidded Fenerbahce’s in a deal worth 35 million plus 5 million bonuses, to sign Lookman. However, they couldn’t match the wage offer from Fenerbahce who offered Lookman a ridiculous 9 million per season. However, they did manage to convince Lookman to choose a move to Madrid.

The deal will be signed soon as Lookman will have to travel to Madrid for medicals. If Lookman passes all his test he will be set to join Atletico Madrid before the transfer deadline. This now means that Atalanta will likely keep Kamaldeen Sulemana, leading Napoli to look at other options, mainly Alisson Santos who they have closed a deal for. (read more here)

AC Milan have been looking for attackers, this entire month, as Santiago Gimenez hasn’t worked out in Milan. Niclas Fullkrug was signed by Milan at the start of this month. Milan also want to bring in Jean-Philippe Mateta before the end of this month but someone will have to be sold. (read more here)

Milan would ideally sell Gimenez, but he is injured which makes it close to impossible to do so. This has lead them to looking into anyone else they can sell. New signing, Christopher Nkunku is someone who could make a move according to Il Romanista, as Roma and Milan open talks.

Roma and Milan only have two days to complete the deal for Nkunku so talks are on rapid fire. This is because this deal triggers Mateta, as Milan can’t bring him in until someone leaves. However, if a deal for Mateta is put on pause until the summer this deal would fall through.

Roma want a deal for Nkunku as they have been looking to add attacking power all summer. They managed to sign Donyell Malen this summer, but they don’t plan on stopping there. They tried to sign Kamaldeen Sulemana from Atalanta but the deal has also fallen through. (read more here)

Nkunku could be a smart way for Roma to cap off this month for Roma. This comes as Roma look to push for a Champions League finish at a minimum, and potentially a title. Nkunku could also play multiple positions something which Roma will be fans of.
