Milan Market: Attention on Lewandowski
The winter transfer market is approaching and the spotlight is on Robert Lewandowski. Milan, following various rumors from Spain, seems to be seriously interested in the Barcelona striker, whose contract expires in June. This news has rekindled enthusiasm among Rossoneri fans, as they await updates on the attacking front.
The Striker Issue
Many enthusiasts wonder: “Where to place a new striker if the formation remains 3-5-2 with Leão and Pulisic?” It’s a bit complicated, considering that bringing in a center forward would take space away from one of the two players currently in attack. There is a pressing need for a change in formation, such as transitioning to a 4-3-3, to facilitate the inclusion of an additional striker.
The Sought Profile
In this perspective, Milan is carefully evaluating the type of striker to acquire. They need a figure with characteristics different from Nkunku and Gimenez. While the latter, despite having good qualities, has not managed to shine as expected, management is looking for a player capable of redistributing play, protecting the ball, and contributing with goals and assists in the area. Fans are convinced that a physical profile, similar to Giroud or Zlatan, is what is needed.
Lewandowski Strategy
According to the newspaper “Sport”, Ibrahimovic has already initiated contacts with Lewandowski, indicating Milan’s real interest. Thus, the possibility of a zero-cost purchase in July may materialize, but the club might also try to pull off a move in January, although the pros and cons to consider are numerous. Lewandowski strongly prefers to remain at Barcelona and, in the event of a transfer, the Polish champion may want to wait until the end of the season, rather than leave the Blaugrana midway through the year.
Conclusions
The situation is therefore complicated and constantly evolving. Although Milan desires a role striker in the upcoming transfer window, the Lewandowski issue will remain on the table for several months. The Rossoneri management needs to make strategic and thoughtful decisions, seeking the right profile to support Leão and Pulisic. The hunt for a valuable center forward could be a significant step toward relaunching Rossoneri ambitions in the league and Europe. All that remains is to wait.
