AC Milan were very active on transfer deadline day
AC Milan were very active on transfer deadline day as they brought in several players, which could in turn facilitate a change in system.
With the title, "Joao Felix-Sottil," this morning's edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reminds us that Milan ended their winter transfer window yesterday with five acquisitions. In Conceiçao, the 4-4-2 fantasy is redone. To appease Sergio Conceiçao, who wants to pitch the Rossoneri team in a 4-4-2 formation—the one he almost often employed at Porto—the directors have instituted a true revolution.
Joao Felix is Santiago Gimenez's attacking partner, alongside Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao on the flanks, according to the Portuguese coach, who specifically sought him. Fiorentina loaned Riccardo Sottil with the option to purchase in order to bolster the flanks and replace Noah Okafor, who later loaned himself to Napoli with the same option. Kyle Walker also fits in, having arrived this month, and La Gazzetta dello Sport is speculating that there may be a change to employing two up front, similar to what Tuttosport suggests.
