"AC Milan closed the winter transfer window with only one first-team signing, but it was not for the want of trying. As Calciomercato.com recall, Milan signed Niclas Füllkrug from West Ham on the first day of the window having lined the deal up ahead of time. Alphadjo Cissè also joined from Hellas Verona, but he will remain out on loan and is more an addition for the future."
"Igli Tare had no budget for a central defender and had a difficult mission to accomplish: seeking the best possible opportunity with no cost up front, so basically any target had to arrive on loan with an option to buy at most. The sporting director tried hard to secure Nathan Aké, but Pep Guardiola completely shut down the deal with no room for reconsideration."
AC Milan signed Niclas Füllkrug from West Ham on the first day of the winter window and added Alphadjo Cissé as a future, loaned option. The club lacked budget for a central defender, so targets had to be loan deals with options to buy. Sporting director Igli Tare pursued Nathan Aké but Pep Guardiola blocked the move; Federico Gatti and Radu Drăgușin were also unavailable on loan. Milan evaluated Axel Disasi but chose not to proceed, leaving the centre-back position unreinforced. Financial constraints influenced choices on wide players, and medical concerns halted a €32m Mateta transfer.
