In recent developments, AC Milan undertook a significant overhaul before the transfer window closed. The Italian club made three pivotal signings, highlighting their ambition to maintain competitiveness in Serie A.
Key Transfers on Deadline Day
- Striker Joao Felix joined on loan until season’s end.
- Santiago Gimenez, previously of Feyenoord, was secured to fill the striker role.
- Riccardo Sottil was brought in on loan with an option to buy.
- Ismael Bennacer transferred to Olympique de Marseille, replaced by Warren Bondo from Monza.
- Noah Okafor was loaned to Napoli with a purchase option.
- Kevin Zeroli moved on loan to Monza.
The New Direction
AC Milan’s changes follow the departure of Alvaro Morata, who was sold to Galatasaray, making way for their summer signing, Gimenez. This strategy injects fresh talent into their squad, aiming to create a strong attacking presence alongside established stars like Christian Pulisic. The club’s commitment to integrating new players reflects their strategy to revamp their approach following a series of disappointing results, focusing on long-term growth and stability.
Coach’s Challenge
Head coach Sergio Conceicao will face the challenge of weaving these new signings into a cohesive unit, which is crucial for AC Milan to regain its competitive edge in Italian football.
