Milan market, not only Mauro Icardi: another former Inter in the crosshairs

In the winter soccer market session Milan will surely intervene to buy a center forward capable of filling the area and being a reference point for the whole team: so far Cristopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez have not given positive signs. The Frenchman is clearly late in his condition and the Mexican is not the right profile for Allegri&#8217s schemes: it is very likely that the former Feyenoord will leave Milan in January to move to the Premier League. Also watch out for Boca Juniors (which has also targeted Paulo Dybala), which is reasoning about the economic feasibility of Santiago Gimenez&#8217s transfer.

Igli Tare and his staff have been working for weeks to identify the right profile to please Massimiliano Allegri, and on the list of possible signings is also the name of Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo center forward scored 4 goals in the first 15 matches of the season and is a profile that Allegri likes a lot. The Neroverde club would not want to deprive him in the current season but, if the right offer arrives, it will be hard to refuse. Brought up in the youth ranks of Inter, Pinamonti already has considerable experience despite his age: he wore the shirts of Frosinone, Genoa and Empoli before choosing Sassuolo in 2022. The club signed him from Inter for 20 million euros, then turned him over on loan to Genoa and in the summer called him back to base.

Andrea Pinamonti is not the’only former Inter player in Milan&#8217s sights: also on the Diavolo&#8217s list is Mauro Icardi, who is in the process of breaking with Galatasaray. The Argentine striker is closed by Victor Osimhen and recently had some discussions with Turkish journalists as well, a symptom of his discontent. All these factors, combined with the expiration of his contract set for fin season, make the hypothesis of Maurito&#8217s return to Milan feasible, this time, however, on the Rossoneri side. The market rumors have divided Milan fans: some cannot imagine the former Inter captain wearing the Diavolo shirt.

The Milan management has also been considering for some time the Niclas Füllkrug option, outgoing from West Ham. The experienced German center forward is unhappy with his Premier League experience and has already asked his entourage to find him an alternative solution for the January market. A seasoned center forward, Füllkrug is reminiscent of Olivier Giroud: both have great physical attributes and are skilled in aerial play but the Frenchman is more technically gifted.

Bred and blossomed in Werder Bremen, Niclas Füllkrug also played for Nürnberg, Hannover 96 and Werder Bremen before moving to Borussia Dortmund. In the yellow and yellow he collected 43 appearances, 15 goals and 10 assists, then moved to West Ham. So much was expected of him but he failed to settle in the Premier League.
