AC Milans next opponent could become their next signing

AC Milan, bought Max Allegri in at the end of last season after a miserable campaign. They finished 8th after going through two coaches but looked to start fresh at the end of the season. However, they decided to start fresh this season, by hiring Allegri. They also looked to build a team around him.

Allegri had a list of demands, mainly in the midfield signing Samuele Ricci and Adrien Rabiot. However, there was another position he wanted to fill striker. Milan where in talks all summer to sign a new striker coming close to bringing in either Dusan Vlahovic or Artem Dovybk.

Neither of these deals eventuated for Milan, so Allegri was told he would have to use Santiago Giminez. Allegri didn’t have Giminez as his number one option but tried to make it work. However, so far it hasn’t at all Giminez has one goal and one assist in total this season.

Now he has gone down saying he was playing through an ankle injury which is now more serious. (Read more here) This will now likely mean that they will look for a Giminez replacement in January. Milan are now searching for his replacement, but really it could be right in front of them right now.

This is as Milan travel to Parma on Saturday, and Parma striker could be their top prospect. This is referring to Parmas, argentinian striker Mateo Pellegrino according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Milan have been closely watching him for a while sending scouts to watch him and goalkeeper Zion Suzuki play for Parma.

Milan could decide that now is the best time to move for Pellegrino. Especially if Giminez and the rest of their attack continues to be poor or injured. And if they want to keep on challenging for the Scudetto deep into this season.
