CM: Milan expected to be more active in January with Conceicao central to planning | OneFootball

Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemed to confirm before the Supercoppa Italiana final that AC Milan are looking to do January business, and the plans have changed with the new coach.

According to Calciomercato.com, Ibrahimovic’s words confirm an alteration in the strategy. Compared to a month ago, the Rossoneri management seem to have decided that they will try sign more than just a new midfielder.

Compared to what happened in the short era of Paulo Fonseca, the coach will have a decisive say in the choices. A coach, Sergio Conceiçao, who leaves with a business card of a trophy won a week after taking office.

The club are working to give Conceicao a striker who can also play as a winger, especially with Noah Okafor heading for RB Leipzig. The profile that intrigues a lot is that of Marcus Rashford, at odds with Manchester United and proposed by the English club to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

In the next few days the Rossoneri will explore this possibility more closely, but Pepe from Porto could become an idea if the operation does not work out. He is a player that Conceicao respects him a lot from his time there.

Warren Bondo of Monza is a name being considered, but at least three or four other profiles are being monitored. Next week will be crucial because the Portuguese coach will give more precise indications on where to intervene. The message is clear: Conceicao will be heavily involved in shaping the squad.
