If Christopher Nkunku leaves AC Milan this January, he will not depart without a replacement and there are a few ideas in mind.
Although he only has two Serie A goals, both of which came this weekend, Nkunku must be replaced if he leaves Milan. This is a given, of course, but in an already short squad, the Rossoneri must be certain of what they do.
The young ones
It seems they are, as well. Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) reports that there is a roadmap of sorts for additions if he is to leave the club and all areas have been considered. The first leads the Rossoneri to the youngsters.
Andrej Kostic is not ready yet, so another player would be needed and Sidiki Cherif has been considered. Born in 2006, the Frenchman has four Ligue 1 goals for Angers this season, but questions are present.
Ultimately, would it be worth bringing in another youngster, considering Francesco Camarda will return in the summer? The same point can be made regarding a move for Rayan, the Brazilian from Vasco or even Giovane, who is starring for Hellas.
Expertise
Alternatively, the experienced route could be looked at. Mauro Icardi and Joshua Zirkzee have been thrown up already, but both would not be available until later in the window.
Financial obstacles are present regarding a move for Gabriel Jesus, who has emerged as a potential candidate. Additionally, similar issues would be found if Milan made an attempt for Darwin Nunez, who could already leave Saudi Arabia.
Finally, that leaves Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Frenchman is worth €40 million, which may be too high in January. He is one to watch, though.
