Pellegatti paints bleak picture regarding January signings: “I’m not very optimistic” | OneFootball

AC Milan are currently eight points behind league leaders Napoli and in order to compete for the Scudetto, more than a good run of results might be needed. However, January signings are evidently not a given.

Granted that the Rossoneri now have a game in hand due to the Bologna debacle, the gap with Napoli is still significant and could grow on Tuesday evening. The two will take on each other at San Siro and while it’s expected to be a sell-out clash, it will still be very difficult even with the support of the fans.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the journalist Carlo Pellegatti spoke about the tight schedule and Milan’s need for reinforcements in January. However, he made it clear that he isn’t that optimistic on this front, with the Rossoneri seemingly content.

“I’m not very optimistic (I’m usually positive) about the fact that there will be reinforcements in January. Or that there will be big investments in January. I’ve already listened, when I ask about this or that player, I’ve already listened ‘but we’ll probably stay like this’,” he stated.

It remains to be seen what the stance of the management will be come January, as the position in the league standings surely will play a part. Regardless of this, though, it’s clear that deputies are needed for Youssouf Fofana and Filippo Terracciano.
