Hupu, November 16th. Daniele Longo, a well-known Milan reporter on the CM website, reported on Milan’s forward signing strategy. Currently, Premier League clubs including Brentford and Sunderland are interested in Santiago Jimenez.

Allegri made it clear to the club this summer: Milan needs a center who can score double-digit goals and is good at fighting in the penalty area, which is the technical characteristics of Vlahovic, who is also the long-term goal of the Rossoneri. The start of the season also made people aware of Milan's urgent need for a center forward. Fans also hope that the club can solve this problem in January, which is why Milan has been linked to many forward names recently.

Milan has two main tasks in January. One is to introduce a central defender with experience and personality for Allegri, and the second is to introduce a new No. 9 center. However, whether the latter can be realized will depend on Jimenez. Only under the premise of selling the Mexican forward will Sports Director Tare take action in the transfer market.

Currently, Jimenez has a certain market in the Premier League. Brentford and Sunderland have already inquired about his information, but the player himself firmly believes that he can establish himself in the Rossoneri. Currently, Jimenez still regards Milan as his priority.

At the same time, Milan is also keeping a wait-and-see attitude in the transfer market. In recent weeks, the club has paid close attention to Midtjylland's game, focusing on the 2004 Guinea forward Francolino. Roma and Bayern are also very interested in him. As for the rumors between Milan and Juventus forward David, there is currently no special progress. Another rumored target, Lewandowski, is also very complicated due to salary issues. In addition, Tare also continues to maintain contact with Vlahovic's agent behind the scenes, and Juventus hopes to renew his contract.
