2026 January Transfer Window Closes
The January 2026 transfer window has come to a close, revealing minimal activity from AC Milan. Despite fans’ hopes for reinforcements, the club made only two signings, both of which presented unique circumstances.
January Transfer Window Overview
AC Milan, currently sitting in second place in Serie A, brought in two players. The first, Niclas Füllkrug, arrived on loan from West Ham, with an option to buy. However, the second signing, Alphadjo Cissè, will remain in Serie B until the conclusion of the ongoing season.
Key Signings
- Niclas Füllkrug – Loan from West Ham (Option to Buy)
- Alphadjo Cissè – Signed but remains in Serie B until summer
Failed Transfer Attempts
Milan had intentions to acquire Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace. However, concerns regarding his knee led the club to withdraw from negotiations, which had been ongoing for several days.
Player Exits
On the exit front, the situation was similarly quiet. The only departure was Divock Origi, whose contract was ultimately canceled. This lack of movement raises questions about Milan’s strategy as they seek to compete for the Scudetto.
