"To truly aim for the title, Allegri's diktat will require waiting until March to see where the Rossoneri stand in the table. January is close though, and sporting director Igli Tare is already thinking about how to strengthen this squad to reach the spring with the most competitive squad. An experienced centre-back is needed. While the option of Sergio Ramos doesn't seem to be a concrete one, part of the management are increasingly encouraging the romantic idea of Thiago Silva's return. The 41-year-old Brazilian from Fluminense would gladly return to Milan due to his love for the club and the shirt, and his excellent relationship with Allegri. Furthermore, he would like to move closer to Europe to be close to his children and family, while also aiming for the next World Cup."
"In midfield the situation is calmer. Jashari has also returned to the midfield rotation, and the trio of Modric, Rabiot and Fofana are still what Allegri trusts, with Loftus-Cheek as another option too. Out wide, though, Alexis Saelemaekers is the one player who doesn't have a real back-up. Due to his age and a few physical issues, Athekame hasn't provided the right answers. There, on the right flank, a player is needed who is good in both phases. Certain characteristics aren't easy to find, but Tare is identifying the player who can be the right fit for this Milan team."
"AC Milan need three signings if they are to try and repeat Napoli's feat last season and win the league title. As Calciomercato.com report, there is a lot of anticipation ahead of Monday night's game against Torino, which is not a happy hunting ground for Milan and comes after only their second defeat of the season, in the Coppa Italia against Lazio. Now, the focus is solely on Serie A and the Supercoppa Italiana for Massimiliano Allegri's men, but what are they missing to really try for the title?"
AC Milan face pressure to strengthen the squad to remain title contenders. The club must assess its position by March while January transfer planning is already under way. An experienced centre-back is the primary target, with Thiago Silva considered a sentimental but practical option due to his relationship with the club and desire to return to Europe. Midfield depth is satisfactory, but the right wing lacks a dependable backup for Alexis Saelemaekers. Physical issues and age have limited available options on the flank. The final priority is signing a permanent No.9 to lead the attack.
