CM: Nkunku, Gimenez, Odogu – who can leave Milan in January as ‘sell-to-buy’ situation arises

Ahead of the January mercato, AC Milan are evaluating their options with several players. So, a few may have to leave for others to arrive.

The business which Milan conduct in January could be vital to a Scudetto push. At the moment, they lead the pack, but they could have a massive advantage with a few different results. It, unfortunately, has not gone that way, though.

Injuries have been defining again, and whilst the Rossoneri have not been majorly punished for a lack of options in their squad, they have been close to that situation. So January reinforcements cannot be ruled out.

Names on the chopping block

Well, that is with others departing; another variable in itself. As Calciomercato.com write, it will be a sell-to-buy window for the Rossoneri. The financial margins are low, and so decisions will have to be calculated.

At the moment, Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are the big headlines to depart. Neither are out of the door yet, but they could well be in a few weeks. With the Mexican, if a bid of €35-40 million arrives, he could go. Elsewhere, an early exit for Nkunku cannot be ruled out.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek could depart, as part of a deal for Lorenzo Lucca, perhaps, whilst David Odogu will almost definitely leave on loan.
