According to Milan News, with only a few days left in the transfer window, Milan's current squad still appears primarily focused on securing a fourth-place finish. This approach has been seen in previous seasons but has not yielded ideal results, ultimately leading to eighth and fifth place finishes. To truly elevate their ambitions, Milan still needs at least two new signings: a defender and an attacking midfielder or central midfielder, with the latter also depending on how Rúben Amorim plans to use Rabiot.

Defense is a Priority: De Winter and Gabbia Have Not Been Convincing

Milan's most pressing issue is in defense. The opening matches exposed many weaknesses, and the performances of De Winter and Gabbia have not been stable enough. For a team aiming for a top position, it is imperative to bring in a center-back who can immediately provide reliability and elevate the overall quality of the backline.

If Milan strengthens their defense with a key player and adds quality options in midfield and attacking midfield, the team will have the opportunity to transform from merely a Champions League qualification contender into a team truly capable of competing for the Serie A title.

Europa League and Leão's Transfer Funds: Milan Cannot Stop Now

Furthermore, there is a crucial factor: Milan will also be competing in the Europa League this season, a competition that requires sufficient squad depth and rotation options. Coupled with the financial revenue from Leão's departure—he traveled to Istanbul in recent hours—it would be even more unreasonable for Milan to remain inactive.

Building a championship-contending team also means minimizing the risk of failing to achieve minimum objectives. Typically, a squad truly competitive for the Serie A title would find it difficult to ultimately drop out of the top four. Therefore, Milan cannot leave this work unfinished now.
