Di Marzio claims Milan will invest but not ‘heavily’: “There are alternatives”

We are less than 30 days away from the opening of the January mercato, and AC Milan are under pressure to invest. However, they may not do so to the level the fans expect. 

Losing to Atalanta has effectively delivered a final blow to an already dying hope – the Scudetto is all but out of Milan’s reach if it wasn’t already. It, unfortunately, goes further than this, though. Perhaps, chances of a top-four finish are also lying nearly dead.

Paulo Fonseca will be keen to ensure that heads do not drop around the club, but this is inevitable, with an already difficult mountain to climb becoming more steep.

For this reason, fans are already looking to January and the mercato, where gaps can be filled. However, Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that whilst the club may invest, it may not be to the level expected, and his words to Sky have been transcribed by Milan News.

“[Investing] Heavily? I don’t think so. At least one piece will fix it, they will try to get a midfielder even if now Bennacer will return and we need to understand the physical condition of the player. But anyway I think in that role there.

“If you go and look at the other situations in other departments there are alternatives in all the roles.”
