The return of Massimiliano Allegri to AC Milan has brought energy, order, and competitive identity back to a team that is once again among the best in Serie A from the start of the season. After twelve matchdays, the Rossoneri remain in second place, just two points behind Roma, and this favorable context has led the board to plan ahead for the January market, especially in the search for a new striker. In this regard, the figure of Jean-Philippe Mateta has once again emerged as one of the project's top priorities.

Perfect Replacement for Santiago Giménez

As reported by 'Calciomercato', the possible departure of Santiago Giménez in the coming months requires Milan to act preemptively. The Crystal Palace striker, given his physical power, presence in the box, and continuous growth in the Premier League, fits the type of reinforcement that Allegri seeks to sustain the team's competitive drive in the second half of the season. Although contacts between the parties have never cooled down since last summer, the operation has now regained momentum and is perceived as a real opportunity in the winter market.

Palace has already indicated that the striker's valuation is around 30 million euros, a figure that Milan considers reasonable. However, the Rossoneri are aware that interest from various English and Serie A clubs could drive up the price, particularly if an open bidding war ensues as January approaches.

Why Does Mateta Fit Allegri's Structure?

The profile of Jean-Philippe Mateta naturally suits Allegri's style of play. The coach is seeking a forward capable of occupying center-backs, creating spaces, and providing a constant reference in the final meters, qualities that the Frenchman has demonstrated this season with outstanding performances in the Premier League. His physical presence, ability to play with his back to goal, and ambipedal finishing make him a solid and complementary option to the current pieces in the Milan attack.

Nevertheless, Milan is not neglecting other options. Robert Lewandowski emerges as an experienced alternative, but his salary and contractual situation present complexities. Franculino Djù, a young talent from Midtjylland, is also on the radar, although his status as a rising star diminishes his short-term priority. The more high-profile route is that of Dusan Vlahovic, whose future at Juventus remains uncertain, but his cost would be much higher even with the influence of Massimiliano Allegri, who previously coached him in Turin.

Other Alternatives if Mateta Bidding Escalates

In case the price for the French forward rises due to pressure from other clubs, AC Milan is prepared to activate alternative plans. However, none of the alternatives generate as much internal consensus as the arrival of Mateta, a player who would offer immediate performance and quick adaptation due to his direct, intense, and area-oriented style.

Milan Accelerates Decisions to Avoid Auction

The Rossoneri aim to act swiftly to prevent the operation from becoming complicated. The management believes it is crucial to take action before English clubs submit formal offers, as they are aware that the Premier League can inflate figures within days. In London, Crystal Palace acknowledges that the player is in an ideal moment to consider proposals, prompting Milan to maintain a firm pace in the negotiation.

The feeling among the Milan environment is that Allegri has found in the Frenchman the ideal profile to complete his attack and uphold the team's upward trajectory. Therefore, all indications point to the upcoming days being crucial to advance in an operation that could become the standout move of the winter market. And if all goes well, Jean-Philippe Mateta will be the name in the Milan news spotlight throughout January.
