Milan, Leonardo confirms the signing of two players in January
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not arrive however sporting director Leonardo confirmed AC Milan will sign two players in the January transfer window.
After the draw against Torino, Leonardo commented not only the performance of the Rossoneri, but he also spoke above all about the transfer market ruling out the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the big dream of the Rossoneri fans. The Swedish striker will remain at Los Angeles Galaxy, who have satisfied the demands of the former Ajax and Barcelona striker.
“Ibra has always reminded us of his position, he gave us his word and he is a man of his word. He told us that if Los Angeles Galaxy had satisfied his conditions he would remain, they did so and he will not arrive. It would have been a beautiful story, he would have given an important weight to our team but it will not be possible“, said the Brazilian director for Sky Sport.
THIRD STRIKER – As reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, if on one hand Leonardo excluded the return of Ibra, on the other he confirmed that in January the Rossoneri will buy another centre forward, especially after the change of formation and the transition to 4-4-2. Gattuso needs a third striker to support Higuian and Cutrone. Now that the Swedish alternative has faded, it will be fundamental for the Devil to quickly rearrange the ideas and find a new target for the offensive department in a very short time (read here – all the possible targets).
FABREGAS OBJECTIVE – In addition to a striker, in January Milan will also look for a central midfielder and Cesc Fabregas remains the most likely name to arrive. Yesterday evening, Leonardo confirmed that the Red and Blacks are in contacts with the Chelsea star but it is still early for the decisive thrust. Milan and Chelsea have not yet agreed the cost of the transfer.
The London side demand for 10-12 million euros to let him leave in January while the Rossoneri have asked for a discount. Fabregas becomes a free agent in the summer however Milan can not wait that longer. The Financial Fair Play is another problem. AC Milan are expected to receive a fine from UEFA shortly and the rules have to be respected. The alternative is Stefano Sensi of Sassuolo.
