"Since Olivier Giroud's departure, the Diavolo have been too experimental with his replacements. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic have even been dragged centrally, with the hope of turning them into goalscoring strikers. Yet, it has not worked, nor has the signing of Niclas Fullkrug or Christopher Nkunku."
"It is quite clear that top strikers bring the top achievements, and since the last proper striker, Milan have underwhelmed regularly. Allegri knows this, and so his message is quite clear: 'give me a striker, and I'll lift the Rossoneri'."
"As of right now, the two big names of interest are Serhou Guirassy and Mateo Retegui, both of whom have been on the Milanese shortlist for an extended period. Yet, a move has never been made for either, until now, perhaps."
AC Milan plans significant changes to its striker position following disappointing results from experimental signings. Since Olivier Giroud's departure, the club has struggled with unconventional approaches, including deploying Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic centrally, while signings like Santiago Gimenez, Niclas Fullkrug, and Christopher Nkunku failed to deliver. Manager Massimiliano Allegri has firmly requested a traditional, proven No.9 striker. The club is now targeting established strikers Serhou Guirassy and Mateo Retegui, both previously on Milan's radar. Allegri emphasizes that elite strikers are essential for achieving top results, signaling that acquiring a quality striker is crucial for Milan's competitive ambitions.
