Mixed messages – Allegri praises Gimenez whilst Tare shows Milan striker the door

8 hours ago 3

There have been a few questions about AC Milan’s mercato, and these are not set to go anywhere just yet. 

In the past week, the number of questions emerging and rising about the transfer window has been worrying. Massimiliano Allegri has asked for two players specifically this summer, and only Adrien Rabiot seems like a possibility.

Dusan Vlahovic has been the bigger priority, all things considered. However, he will not join, it seems.

Milan, make your mind up

Instead, Milan are manufacturing a move for Artem Dovbyk, and doing this would mean Santiago Gimenez leaves the club. In fact, before last night’s game with the Mexican starting, Tare, very publicly, asked him to leave the club.

Is the attack complete? Can Dovbyk replace Gimenez?

“Numerically, as we stand now, I think so. However, we’re also evaluating the alternative of a swap deal with Gimenez: we’ll know if that’s feasible after the match. Keeping them together? It won’t be possible. Playing one game a week, we need to have the right squad: only in the event of a swap deal, otherwise we’ll stay as we are.”

After the game, Allegri was positive about his performance, praising him when asked about his future, as MilanNews relays.

Can Gimenez stay?

“He can help this team. He’s important, and he’s been here for 20 days. He played a good game tonight and has two goals disallowed. But the fact that he scored them and is there… he has opportunities to score.”

How do you plan to use Nkunku?

“I don’t know how I’ll be able to use him. He’s a very high-quality player, and I think we already have excellent players up front, and the important thing is to find the right balance with them.”
