"When Massimiliano Allegri arrived at Milan, his first request was for a 'top-tier' striker. Instead, Christopher Nkunku arrived. Now, that is not a slight on the Frenchman, but he is not 'top-tier' nor is he really a striker. Of course, the move could have some upside. So far, though, he is struggling, and Allegri does not consider him a starter. A potential waste of a significant fee, one which could have gone on a striker."
"There's a tall player, 28 years old, French, his name is Mateta, he costs €25-30 million. A classic penalty area man who scored a lot at Crystal Palace. Pay attention to this suggestion of mine. We need to break the piggy bank. Mateta would be beautiful and ready for San Siro."
AC Milan lack a proven classic number-nine goalscorer and recent investments in that role have underperformed. Christopher Nkunku arrived instead of a 'top-tier' striker and has struggled to secure a starting spot under Massimiliano Allegri, raising concerns about wasted funds. Santiago Gimenez may be leaving, returning Milan to an urgent striker search. The club faces pressure to invest heavily in a ready-made centre-forward. Jean-Philippe Mateta is presented as a concrete option: a 28-year-old French penalty-area striker with a strong scoring history at Crystal Palace and a reported price of €25-30 million.
