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.

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.

AS Roma are trying to get to the next level with their current squad and finally win a Scudetto title. This season looked to be their best chance in recent history. This was looked to be helped by the appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini a very experienced Serie A coach.

However, this side are sitting ten points off first, mainly due to the lack of a inform striker. This is despite, Roma signing Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton in the summer. But Ferguson might not even see his loan out as Roma due to his poor form in Serie A.

Even if he is to leave Roma, he likely won’t return to Brighton as he has multipule clubs interested in him. This comes from a report from Nico Schira which states that, Napoli, Bologna, Real Betis and Celtic are all interested in bringing in Ferguson which could lead to him leaving the capital.

Meanwhile, Roma are closing in on keeping one of their midfielders in Lorenzo Pellegrini. He has been there since 2014, only spending two years on loan. According to Nico Schira the two parties have opened up talks to sign a contract until 2029, however for the deal to work out Pellegrini will have to take a pay cut.

However, Roma won’t look for a contract extension with one of their attacking midfielders. It looks like that Paulo Dybala time in the capital will end after this season. He joined the Gillanorossi in 2022, after leaving Juventus on a free transfer, and now he will likely leave Roma on a free transfer.

This is due to Roma not offering a contract extension according to Nico Schira. His current deal expires at the end of this season, meaning Dybala will likely have to look for a new club. He has been linked to a move back to Brazil with Boca Juniors but nothing is concrete.
