CorSera: Krösche already working on Milan’s January targets – two signings prioritised

By: Oliver Fisher

AC Milan quietened some of the building criticism by beating Genoa before the break, and now planning for the future can continue.

According to what Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) have written this morning, one thing is very clear from Milan’s victory against Genoa yesterday and their past few games in general: help is needed in the winter mercato.

The reason is simple: as long as the first-choice players are on the pitch everything is fine, but as soon as Ruben Amorim had to introduce a few second-string players, from that moment on Milan began to struggle and suffer more.

In the coming weeks, Markus Krösche will sign a contract and officially become the new Head of Football at Milan. In the meantime, he is already monitoring possible targets in view of an important window.

The priority remains a central defender who can come in and carry out Amorim’s instructions, which include building from the back. With Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori out injured for some time, the depth has been eroded drastically in this area, causing some to work overtime.

The paper adds that the feeling is a new centre-forward will arrive who can play alongside Gonçalo Ramos, given that Francesco Camarda is still deemed too young and for such a role. Then, a decision will be made on his fate too.
