According to "Corriere dello Sport" reports, Milan is considering introducing Phil Kruger in the winter window.
Milan’s senior management has been busy preparing for the winter window for several weeks. Judging from the overall direction, their plan has been formulated, and they will not spend as much money as they did in Xia Chuang, nor will they carry out drastic reforms like they did a year ago. They will look for suitable signing opportunities without spending crazy money to bring in the players he needs for Allegri to achieve their season goals more easily.
Considering the limited contribution of Santiago Jimenez and Nkunku to Milan in the first 3 months, they are likely to sign a No. 9 player who is more suitable for Milan's style, an experienced player who can play immediately and is affordable, such as Phil Kruger.
At a press conference in June last year, Tare publicly revealed the characteristics of the striker Milan is looking for: unlike Santiago Jimenez, he is physically strong, active in the penalty area, has excellent heading and ball control skills, and can remind Milan fans of Giroud. However, Milan eventually signed Santiago Jimenez. They have had a poor league campaign so far, with both Santiago Jimenez and Nkunku scoring zero league goals.
Milan management has begun to consider Phil Kruger, the 189 cm tall center currently playing for West Ham. As early as the summer of 2024, he was rumored to have an affair with Milan, but Phil Kruger preferred to make a career in the Premier League first, and Milan focused all its energy on Morata at that time. However, both players' situations in the Premier League are unsatisfactory: Morata bounced between Serie A and the Turkish Super League, scoring very few goals, while Phil Kruger only made 20 appearances in total last season, and only 6 appearances in the Premier League this season (including 5 starts), with a total of only 3 goals in the two seasons.
Phil Kruger is not a goal-scoring machine, and he is currently in the trough of his career due to some muscle injuries. The evaluation is ongoing and will continue into the coming weeks. Unless Santiago Jimenez and Nkunku change that plan over the next month and a half.
