Vitiello: Milan dependant on last-minute opportunities to bolster midfield and attack | OneFootball

It was made very clear during AC Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Juventus last night that reinforcements are needed in midfield and attack. Especially for the latter department, but everything depends on last-minute opportunities.

Tammy Abraham was the starting striker for Milan last night and despite playing 79 minutes, he had zero shots (not even one off target). Alvaro Morata hasn’t exactly been brilliant this season, but even he was truly missed in the big game.

In addition to the struggles up front, Milan failed to play out of the press most of the time and the midfield lacked the energy needed. In short, reinforcements would be very good for both departments. According to Antonio Vitiello, it will all depend on opportunities at the end of the transfer window.

Sergio Conceicao and the directors agreed during the mid-week summit that both departments could use reinforcement, but it’s a matter of feasibility. For example, Joao Felix is one of the names at the top of the list according to the journalist, but Chelsea might not be willing to let him leave on an initial loan.

In the final days of the mercato, some clubs might be more desperate to offload certain players and this could be beneficial for Milan. For the fans, on the other hand, this approach is very frustrating.
