For AC Milan, whose performances continue to decline, the winter transfer window is the only chance they have left to strengthen their squad this season. If they can successfully sign the right players and strengthen the weak points in the team's lineup, the team will still be worth looking forward to in the second half of the season; conversely, if the team does nothing in this transfer window, the team's season goal is likely to have to be lowered to compete for the top four. This is not a situation that AC Milan fans who have longed for the title are happy to see.
Judging from ac Milan's performance in the past period, the team's problems on the defensive end are more obvious. Especially after Kyal's absence, the team's defensive efficiency has dropped significantly. In the last nine games in all competitions, the team has conceded 13 goals and conceded an average of 1.44 goals per game. Such defensive efficiency is far from enough for a team aiming for the title. From a technical and tactical point of view, after Kylar's injury, Pioli asked Romanioli to take his place. As Romagnoli was a left-footed player, he appeared at left centre-back and Tomori went to right-centre-back. However, judging from the effect on the field, the frontal defensive ability of these two players is quite OK, but it is quite inadequate in terms of assisting in the defensive position.
Because AC Milan's main left-back is Theo Hernandez. As we all know, in Pioli's tactical system, Theo's role is quite important, he is one of the main offensive launch points of the team. Therefore, in many cases, Theo's position is quite forward, and he needs to cooperate with Leo, Ibrahimovic and others in the front court for close-up passing. Although Special Olympics is very fast, even if the position is very high, he can most of the time rely on the speed advantage to return to the defensive position. However, when the opponent counterattacks quickly, Theo can only look at the ball and sigh, in this case, the left centre-back must make up for Theo. When Tomori is on this side, his excellent speed and physical confrontation ability can effectively cover the team's left side, but when this side is replaced by a slower and less physical confrontation ability, It is easier for opponents to open gaps on this side. This is also one of the important reasons why the team's defensive performance has deteriorated.
In addition, due to Romagnoli's high annual salary of 6 million euros, and his agent Rayola seems to have been encouraging him to leave the team as a free agent after the season in order to get a more generous contract, AC Milan has to plan ahead and find a replacement for the Italian international from the transfer market. According to the Milan sports newspaper, Botman has always been the team's first choice, but his value has reached 30 million euros, which is beyond the range that the team can afford. It is reported that Paris Saint-Germain's Diallo and Hungary international Sauroy are also on the team's reinforcement list. From the position on the pitch, both players can play as left-back and center-back, and the all-rounder attributes give Pioli more options in the platoon. In terms of value, Diallo's value is 25 million euros, and Horroy's value is only 11 million euros. Purely from the perspective of the cost of reinforcements, Sauloy is undoubtedly a very good choice. Moreover, the 23-year-old centre-back still has enough potential, and if he can adapt smoothly to Serie A, he is expected to surprise the team.
At the same time as the reinforcements, the main players in the AC Milan team have also been poached by other teams. According to Sport to Turin, Chelsea have put signings at left-back on the agenda as Chilwell will be sidelined for a long time due to injury. Chelsea have been in contact with AC Milan to find out at what price AC Milan wants to sell Theo Hernandez. This season, Theo has scored 2 goals and 5 assists in 15 league appearances, making him the team's leading assist. In addition, in the French national team, Special Olympics also has a quite brilliant performance. It is reported that Maldini's psychological expectation for the Transfer Fee of The Olympics is 60 million euros. For Chelsea, such a transfer fee is not a problem. For Special Olympics, since Chelsea are clearly better than AC Milan, if he wants to get more honors, it is not excluded that he chooses to switch to Stamford Bridge Stadium.
In addition, in the Roma side, there are also many shortcomings in the team's lineup, and with Mourinho's habits, it is imperative to attract reinforcements in the winter transfer market. In the centre-back position, the combination of Mancini and Ibanez this season has basically completed the task, but As substitutes, Kumbula and Smalling did not convince Mourinho with their performances. According to Italian media, roma are very interested in Barça centre-back Lenglet and have already had preliminary communication with Barca. This season, Lenglet's performance has not been ideal, and he has also received a lot of criticism. Barca seems intent on selling him. In the transfer market, Lenglet is worth 18 million euros, but given his poor form this season, Roma are expected to sign him for a lower transfer fee.
