Vitiello states Allegri is ‘expecting’ a new striker pre-season success: “Needs to be completed”

This summer, Massimiliano Allegri is hoping to make another three moves in the mercato for AC Milan, despite his early work.

There is a need for more strike power to arrive soon. It cannot be denied, and Allegri is aware of this, whilst keen to change that. However, the club are working on deals that will not be ready for a while yet, it seems.

Dusan Vlahovic is the obvious one, who would not be likely to join until late August. Then, there are also issues with signing Goncalo Ramos, who is another top target. Both are due to the finances in a deal.

Expectations for Milan

Today, Antonio Vitiello has spoken about the situation and what the expectations of the new coach are, despite pre-season not showing any faults, as he states for MilanNews.

“Allegri is expecting him and, in the meantime, is demonstrating, in a friendly match, that he can handle the material at his disposal. He’s an experienced and seasoned coach, but the squad still needs to be completed between now and September 1st.

“This includes at least three more high-quality signings, in addition to the transfers that still need to be made.”

Considering Santiago Gimenez will not meet his new coach until August, too, it is a risky game to play, leaving it all until the last stages.
