AC Milan, a Serie A powerhouse, has not had a satisfactory season so far, currently ranking only 8th in the league. Although they changed their head coach before the winter transfer window, with Portuguese manager Conceicao taking over, after some observation, it became clear that some players in the Milan squad did not meet his requirements. As a result, Milan has been very active in this year's winter transfer window, having already secured Manchester City defender Walker and now seeking another forward. According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport," Milan plans to sell two defenders, Emerson and Pavlovic, to raise funds for Feyenoord's striker Santiago Simón. Feyenoord is asking for a fee of 40 million euros for the efficient goalscorer. Mexican forward Simón was born on April 18, 2001, starting his career at Cruz Azul in Mexico before transferring to Feyenoord in the summer of 2022 for 6 million euros. Standing at 1.83 meters tall and weighing 73 kilograms, Simón may not be particularly fast, but he is physically strong, good at positioning, possesses decent technique and goal-scoring awareness, and finishes decisively. Primarily a center-forward, Simón can also play as a second striker. Since joining Feyenoord, Simón quickly became the team's main center-forward, scoring 62 goals and providing 14 assists in 103 appearances. This season, despite an injury, he returned in November and his form remained unaffected. In 17 matches across various competitions, he scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists, contributing to 16 goals in total, remaining the team's most reliable source of firepower. Simón's contract expires in June 2027,…

The winter transfer window is in chaos! At the beginning of January, Juventus' transfer work in the Serie A giants is "thunderous but little rain," with many transfer targets shrouded in mystery, and players on the team's shelves are "difficult to clear," leaving many Juventus fans in confusion. A week ago, the main focus of Juventus' defensive reinforcement was on Hanczko, Antonio Silva, and Tomori, but as time went on, Araujo, Danso, and Vega were also added to this list.

From the latest transfer trends, Araujo is very interested in moving to Serie A, but the Barcelona management is still hesitating. Despite Araujo's low attendance rate, he remains an important player for the team.
