Massimiliano Allegri’s AC Milan is actively exploring the winter market to strengthen its attack in the Serie A title race. According to Tuttosportthe Rossoneri are now interested in Sidiki Cherif, the young 18-year-old French striker, under contract with Angers until 2028. Trained at the club, Cherif has scored 3 goals in 15 games this season and is already attracting the attention of several German clubs such as Hamburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart. His speed and ability to participate in the game make him an attractive option for Allegri and his staff, who were present during his recent matches to observe his performances. Its value is estimated between 25 and 30 million euros according to the Italian daily.

At the same time, the Milanese are following other avenues to prepare for the future, particularly in attack and in the middle. Names like Robert Lewandowski, Dušan Vlahović or even former Inter Milan Mauro Icardi are being considered. But the Italian club, currently at the top of Serie A, could well go for Cherif from the winter transfer window. As a reminder, the French Adrien Rabiot, Christopher Nkunku, Mike Maignan and even Youssouf Fofana are already playing at Milan.
