Late January Deals and Transfer Activity
As the January transfer window draws to a close, Milan are actively working on further squad adjustments. Reports from both Sky and Gazzetta indicate that an agreement has been reached with Crystal Palace for the services of Jean-Philippe Mateta. This move comes amid recent arrivals at San Siro, including Niclas Fullkrug earlier in the month.
With squad limits in mind, Milan would need to make space, necessitating the potential departure of Christopher Nkunku. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the former Chelsea forward has attracted attention from Roma and other clubs, with formal enquiries made regarding his availability.
