In the summer, two Seria A teams had a lot of the transfer rumours surrounding them, especially around strikers. This was AS Roma and AC Milan who both had new coaches and where looking to compete for the title. Gian Peiro Gasperini and Max Allegri both wanted new strikers to help them compete.

A swap deal was rumoured heavily between the two teams which would have seen Artem Dovybk sign for AC Milan and Santiago Giminez sign for Roma. This deal however, never eventuated as the two clubs signed new strikers. AS Roma got their hands on Evan Ferguson from Brighton and AC Milan signed Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea.

Never signing has shown enough to label them a success or failure yet both teams need more goals. This is why they are both linked to making another signing. This would be Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United who has struggled in England. Zirkzee has previously succeeded in Seria A with Bologna.

This is why Sky Sports reports via Sacha Tavolieri that he could move to either of these teams on a loan deal. However, their is still some issues around Zirkzee wage. When Zirkzee moved to United he earned a major pay rise due to a number of reasons, including the bigger TV rights deal in English football.

This means that neither AS Roma or AC Milan can think about bringing him in for this price. It would be unreasonable for either team to pay that price for a player of his quality in Seria A. However, Zirkzee and his team would like a move back to Seria A and will take a pay cut to make it happen.

Juventus and Inter are two teams, at the start of new projects chasing success under new coaches. Juventus had Igor Tudor, who has now been replaced by Luciano Spalletti. Inter also hired a new head coach after Simone Inzaghi left to work in Saudi Arabia. They replaced him with Christian Chivu from Parma and former Inter player to take over the side.

Juventus didn’t compete for Chivu from Parma as they had their eyes set on other managers. However, Juventus and Inter are now fighting over a Parma player if reports are to be believed. Adrián Bernabé who has had an outstanding season so far at Parma.

He has scored in his last two games this season against Bologna and AC Milan at home. His form has left the two clubs chasing him as they look to bring in midfielders to help with their future. This is especially true as Bernabé is only twenty-four years old currently.

Both teams understand that he will be hard to get off Parma hands, so both teams have a back-up plan ready. Gazzetta dello sport reports that Juventus are looking to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as the back up. This is because Juventus see him as an option because he is older and more expirenced.

Juventus believed that he can be a leader in Spalletti project if he is signed. But his age is a concern at thirty-years old especially considering Juventus aren’t exactly a win now team. Inter however, have gone younger for their back up recording to reports from FCInternews they have set their eyes on Aleksandar Stankovic from Club Brugge.

He has stood out in the league and Champions League so far this season. Chivu would like to pair either them with new signing Petar Sucic for next season. However, Bernabé is still the first preference as Inter have sent scouts to watch him play against Bolgona.

AC Milan have had to sell a lot of players in recent history to meet finical fair play. Even with all these sales none has been more emotional than  the rest and that is Sandro Tonali. Tonali, has been a Milan fan since he was young and has always loved the club. He begged to stay at Milan at twenty-two but he had to be sold.

He was forced to move to Newcastle for 70 million to help Milan follow financial regulations. We now know that this was a hard time in his life. He would soon receive a seven month ban for Gambling on games while playing. This left the young Sandro at the lowest point of his career.

However, he would quickly bounce back, once he got running for Newcastle he wouldn’t stop. He quickly ascended to one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, with his dribbling and size making him hard to mark out of games. He has also worked perfectly for Eddie Howe blending with the already existing midfield well.

Tonali was in a whirl of rumours before the start of this season. These all linked him to a move back to Serie A, with two main teams. His former side AC Milan was the first linked team, and the struggling Juventus also saw his as a signing. But, these rumours could’ve been fabricated.

They were few and far between, and they rarely ever came from big relabile sources. Now however, there is a new approach on the deal due to a post-game quote from Tonali. Tonali was asked about his future at Newcastle, and he failed to give the most promising answer for Newcastle fans.

“This is a tough question because, you know, (in) football you need to think year for year. I don’t want to say I want to stay here 10 years and in two years, three years, four years, five years I will go was his response. This quote leaving the door open for a move away from Newcastle, could give Juventus and AC Milan fans hope.

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.
