"As La Repubblica (via MilanNews) report this morning, there is a mercato flavour to the game at San Siro tonight. Over the years, these two clubs have closed several deals, the most recent being the Saelemaekers-Abraham loan swap, while competing for others like Manu Koné. In January, the axis between Milan and Roma could heat up again, given what the paper refer to as 'The Game of 9s', involving Santiago Gimenez and Artem Dovbyk."
"Both Milan and Roma have struggling strikers, and just as happened in the summer, the two sides could sit down to discuss a possible swap deal between Gimenez and Dovbyk in the upcoming winter window. Negotiations were underway regarding the exchange but ultimately fell through at the end of the summer window. This is because the Giallorossi wanted to explore the possibility of buying the Mexican permanently, but now that the clubs are back in touch, something could happen."
AC Milan and Roma could renew transfer talks in January focused on a potential striker swap involving Santiago Gimenez and Artem Dovbyk. Both clubs have underperforming centre-forwards, prompting consideration of an exchange similar to summer discussions that collapsed when Roma sought to buy Gimenez permanently. Milan currently views Dovbyk as a primary January target but is monitoring other forward options in case an agreement cannot be reached. Alternative targets linked to Milan include Joaquin Panichelli (Strasbourg), Jonathan Burkardt (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Kader Meité (Stade Rennais). Past dealings between the clubs include the Saelemaekers-Abraham loan swap.
