AC Milan set to lose Santigao Gimenez for two months and begining to look at replacments

AC Milan have been the biggest climbers in Serie A this season as the club had a big overhaul this summer. This was spearheaded by appointing Massimiliano Allegri to help rebuild the team into Serie A champions. Milan built a side to his need but they failed to sign anyone in one position.

There were rumours for Milan signing multiple strikers such as Dusan Vlahovic but they never made a deal. Milan board decided to not sign any striker prioritising other positions to speed up their rebuild. Allegri and the board of Milan thought they would survive until next summer especially with Santiago Gimenez playing for them.

Now however, things are looking bleak for Milan as they will now be without Gimenez for at least the next two months. This is due to his ankle injury now requiring surgery as he hasn’t been recovering, He has already missed a month and a half, however he is not recovering so Milan decided to pull the plug on surgery.

Milan are now looking for short term options that can come into the side and help boost the side above their competition. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that they are trying to sign Niclas Fullkrug on a six month loan to bring him to the rest of the season, and have begun talks with West Ham.

Milan will look for someone on a dry loan as they try to bring someone big in next season. One of these is Dusan Vlahovic which will be available as a free agent at the end of this season. He could be convinced to come to Milan to reunite with his ex coach Allegri and to stay in Italy and not have to up root his life.
