"Santiago Gimenez's slow start to the season has reignited doubts about the striker position, and AC Milan could move to resolve them. As Calciomercato.com report, should Gimenez's dry spell in front of goal continue, it's not out of the question that Igli Tare and co. could make a move to sign a new centre-forward as early as the winter window."
"Among the names that has been mentioned in the last week is Jonathan Burkardt, a 25-year-old striker at Eintracht Frankfurt who is doing very well in the Bundesliga. After 18 goals in 29 appearances last season, he's already scored six in seven appearances for his new club. Last January's choice Speaking of winter windows, in the January 2025 mercato Milan had their sights set on Burkardt, who was then shining for Mainz."
Santiago Gimenez began the season slowly, raising renewed doubts over the No.9 role at AC Milan and prompting potential winter-market contingency plans. Gimenez arrived in January from Feyenoord to address a previous striker problem but has not started strongly this campaign. Jonathan Burkardt has been linked as a possible alternative after prolific recent form, having scored 18 in 29 last season and six in seven for Eintracht Frankfurt this term. Milan previously scouted Burkardt in January 2025 but opted for Gimenez due to more advanced talks. Eintracht paid €21m and are unwilling to sell for anything less than irresistible offers.
