"AC Milan's standings speak volumes and tell us that Massimiliano Allegri has produced a masterpiece so far. He's practically never had Pulisic and Leao together, and his alternatives have definitely not been up to par. In short, he's without a true striker. He's got a truncated squad, with obvious gaps and a limited backline."
"He's also without a star defensive player, and he's also lacking a solid replacement for Theo, who arrived on the market: he's brought in Bartesaghi, who last year, remember, played for Milan Futuro (today an extraordinary surprise). Objectively, what more could you ask of him? Nothing. Not even, at the moment, a sparkling game."
"For this, we'll need to get all the players back to their best condition. Regardless of the transfer window, we'll get there; the hope is that Leao and Pulisic can overcome their physical challenges. Both teams' seasons have been and still are troubled in this regard; nevertheless, their numbers are extraordinary. Imagine what they could achieve playing together (they've only done so once) and in top form."
AC Milan could boost its Scudetto challenge with January investment, but ownership is reportedly unwilling to approve costly mid-season transfers. The club lacks European football this season and already completed major summer business, reducing the case for heavy winter spending. The squad shows clear weaknesses: absence of a true striker, limited depth, no standout defensive star, and uncertainty at Theo's replacement despite Bartesaghi's arrival. Persistent fitness issues have limited the chance to field Pulisic and Leao together. Milan's current results and numbers remain strong, and full fitness or targeted reinforcements could materially affect the title race.
