If AC Milan are to continue fighting in the Scudetto, then Tuesday's game against Bologna is must-win, especially considering their recent form. As the last game of the weekend, Milan come into this needing a result. Failing to do so could write them off for the title. Nevertheless, just getting three points would also strengthen their bid for the Champions League spots, which is a must regardless.

While waiting to see if Jean-Philippe Mateta is the statement winter signing for AC Milan, the management have decided to invest in youth. Today's edition of Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) recall how Milan have completed three deals for three talented teenagers who the club hope could flourish in their youth sector and become pillars of the first team moving forward.

AC Milan is pleased to announce the signing of Yahya Idrissi, who will be part of the Milan Futuro Project, dedicated to the growth and development of youth talents. The 2007-born midfielder joins the Rossoneri from Chelsea FC. It emerged over the weekend that Milan have swooped for the teenager, who shone for Chelsea's U16s before earning a promotion to the U18 team.

Milan are looking to complete deals for three young talents before the window concludes, and are well on the way to doing so.

AC Milan have closed yet another deal with Chelsea, as Yahya Idrissi Regragui is set to sign for the club in the coming hours. According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Luca Maninetti, Milan have secured the signing of Regragui on a permanent deal. The 18-year-old actually arrived at La Madonnina clinic this morning to begin his medical, so the announcement cannot be too far away.

🚨⏳ AC Milan are pushing to sign Magnus #Dalpiaz with immediate effect. Concrete negotiations are ongoing with FC Bayern and the player's camp. Talks are set to continue on Saturday. Understand that Milan's plan is for the 18 y/o right-back to train with the first team regularly and gain match practice with the Futuro team. Milan are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy, while Bayern are insisting on a buy-back clause, after@MichelSchroeer @SkySportDE

In December, it was reported that they would not be supporting any moves made in January, with the budget expected to be fairly low. However, this now seems to be changing, with Milan desperately pushing to make a few late signings, which would be headlined by the addition of a new striker in Jean-Philippe Mateta. Additionally, the renewal of Mike Maignan could be confirmed shortly, which would only strengthen the image of the owners.

AC Milan will look to sign a central defender in the final days of the January mercato, with Massimiliano Allegri requesting more coverage. Throughout this season, the Milan defensive unit has been heavily praised. From last season to now, they have come on in leaps and bounds. However, there are still some issues with the compartment and the Rossoneri should fix them sooner rather than later.

Some big news broke this morning: Milan have moved ahead of Nottingham Forest in the race to sign Mateta from Crystal Palace overnight, after talks between the clubs. Personal terms have been agreed with the striker, and now a €30m transfer agreement is close. Despite this, there is the possibility that the France international may not arrive until the end of the season, with the possibility that Christopher Nkunku's sale might facilitate the speeding up of things.

AC Milan have intensified their efforts to strengthen their defence before the January transfer window closes, holding what has been described as a lengthy meeting with the representatives of Radu Dragusin, according to Calciomercato. The Tottenham centre-back has emerged as one of Milan's leading targets as the Rossoneri look to reinforce their back line for the second half of the season.
