Reports: Milan send scout to watch two players during Genoa vs. Parma – the details

AC Milan had scouts present to watch Parma in action against Genoa over the weekend, scouting two players in particular.

As we approach the January window, there are a couple of obvious issues that Milan will look to address. One is the striker situation, given that Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are both without a league goal despite costing north of €30m, and both are being linked with an exit.

Then, next summer, there is the distinct possibility that Milan must find a new starting goalkeeper. Mike Maignan’s deal is set to expire in June and it seems more likely he will leave than renew, at least at present.

Under special observation

According to MilanVibes, Milan had a scout present at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris to observe Zion Suzuki up close, who has been identified as Maignan’s potential heir. They ‘especially’ had an eye on Mateo Pellegrino, who is ‘being followed with great attention’ by the Rossoneri management.

Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Marco Guidi (via X) confirmed that a Milan representative went to watch Genoa-Parma, both to see Suzuki and Pellegrini, as MilanVibes have reported.

Pellegrini is on the list, the difficulty is convincing Parma, who need to avoid relegation. The Diavolo would have to shell out more than the player is probably worth to get him mid-season.
