The Rossoneri would like to remain close to there until March, then compete for the title at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>However, Allegri\u2019s squad \u2013 currently comprised of only 19 outfield players \u2013 could be improved in the January transfer window. Giving the coach two or three more players would be the right move to increase their chances of fighting for the title until the final round.<\/p>\n<p>The name targeted<\/p>\n<p>Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are still on zero goals in Serie A, which is a problem. The Mexican cost \u20ac30m last January, while the Frenchman cost a whopping \u20ac40m in August. The club are confident they can recover get back to scoring, but the next couple of months are key.<\/p>\n<p>If things don\u2019t go well, the management could intervene in the transfer market, and among the players being monitored is Joaquin Panichelli, as the headline \u2018Panichelli attacks\u2019 reveals.

After his recovery, he started scoring again, so much so that Strasbourg brought him to France last summer for \u20ac17m.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s still a young striker, but he\u2019s making a name for himself with a steady stream of goals in Ligue 1. The 23-year-old is not the only player on Igli Tare and Geoffrey Moncada\u2019s radar: they are also looking at Artem Dovbyk, who they attempted to get <a href=\"https:\/\/sempremilan.com\/milan-considering-dovbyk-pursuit-gimenez\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a swap deal for Gimenez<\/a> in the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AC Milan being joint-second in the table has created a positive energy around the team, and a January&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-273315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
