"Throughout the season, the pair have somewhat been called to by the Rossoneri, like the solution for their goalscoring issues, which they have never been able to grasp. That was until recently, when Massimiliano Allegri was able to call upon both. However, unlike what was seemingly destined for them, they have failed to take off together."
"As Calciomercato.com writes, they have featured in 13 games together this season, yet only three goals have been scored in these instances. The record, unfortunately, speaks for itself. It isn't working. So, a new theory must be tested."
"So, it appears that one last Hail Mary may be thrown by the club, where he could partner either of the stars, or perhaps both, to allow the 4-3-3 system that Allegri desperately wants to use. The Italian needs a 'real 9' and Gimenez may be the solution."
AC Milan's Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao have failed to deliver as an attacking partnership despite individual quality, scoring only three goals across 13 appearances together this season. Both players suffered injuries that limited their time on the pitch simultaneously. Manager Massimiliano Allegri has been unable to establish an effective attacking system, with the pair not providing the goalscoring solution the club desperately needs. As a result, Milan is considering Santiago Gimenez, a previously disappointing signing currently recovering from injury, as a potential catalyst. Allegri seeks a traditional number nine to complement Pulisic and Leao within his preferred 4-3-3 formation, hoping Gimenez could unlock the attacking potential of his star players.
