Milan plan to sign a centre-back, a left-back and a striker in January as they try to end the inconsistency that has held back their season.

According to Corriere dello Sport Gerry Cardinale has repeatedly promised to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s squad for the second half of the campaign. Milan want to compete for the Scudetto and the Europa League, with the Coppa Italia still to come.

Milan’s problem with rotation

The Rossoneri have struggled whenever Amorim has rotated his squad. They’ve won only one of their midweek games this season, a 4-0 victory at Salzburg in which Cissè scored a hat-trick.

The rest have brought a 2-0 home defeat to Benfica, a 3-0 loss at Bournemouth, a 4-2 defeat to Bologna at San Siro after leading, and last week’s home loss to Ferencváros.

The club’s first new arrival won’t be a player. Markus Krösche will officially become Milan’s head of football on 1 January, but the former Eintracht Frankfurt director is already working for the club and could move to Milan early. His right-hand man Timmo Hardung could follow him from Frankfurt.

Their plan is clear: a new centre-back, a left-back and a striker to provide cover for Gonçalo Ramos.
