AC Milan have had a slightly disappointing first half of the season but the situation isn't irretrievable and the club can still enjoy a successful campaign. To do so, though, AC Milan new signings may be required to freshen up the squad ahead of what looks set to be a thrilling Serie A title race.
After 21 games played, AC Milan find themselves in third place in the league table. On the positive side, they are 12 points clear of the fifth place making their situation comfortable in relation to Champions League qualification. On a more negative note, they trail Juventus at the top of Serie A by seven points.
In the summer, the Rossoneri spent more than €100m on primarily attacking players to try and win back their Serie A crown and go further in the Champions League. Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic were the “marquee” buys with the latter comfortably outperforming the former so far with five goals and six assists to his name in Serie A.

Confirmed AC Milan signings in January 2024
While there several transfer targets on AC Milan's radar, the club are yet to make any “big” moves in the January transfer window. There have been some squad additions, though, including one addition which could turn out to be quite the coup.
Filippo Terracciano – Hellas Verona (£3.8m)
Filippo Terracciano has signed for AC Milan from Hellas Verona for a deal worth less than £4m. The 20-year-old fullback has been a regular in the Verona side for the past two seasons making the deal somewhat of a bargain given his age and Serie A experience. Terracciano made his debut for Milan in their Coppa Italia quarter-final loss to Atalanta.
Matteo Gabia – Villareal (End of loan)
Matteo Gabia has returned to AC Milan following a defensive injury crisis at the club. Gabia was meant to stay in La Liga until the end of the season but will go straight back into the first-team squad at the San Siro. The next six months could represent Gabia's final opportunity to make it as a first team player at the club.
Emil Roback – Norrköping (End of loan)
Emily Roback has also returned early from his loan spell at Noorkoping in the Swedish top flight. The young striker was struggling for game time in Sweden and AC Milan will now look to send him somewhere else for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.

Luka Romero – Almeria (Loan)
Teenage playmaker, Luka Romero signed for AC Milan in the summer of 2023 and has made five appearances for the Rossoneri so far.
