Beyond the Maignan saga, Tare also provided insight into Milan's strategy for the upcoming January transfer window. With the winter market notoriously difficult for finding value, the director tempered expectations regarding major new arrivals. Instead, he pointed to the internal growth of the squad and the return of key players from injury as the primary source of improvement for the second half of the season.
Tare specifically highlighted the situations of Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez - high-profile attackers who have had mixed fortunes since joining the club. Nkunku, who showed flashes of his brilliance in the recent match against Torino, is seen as a player ready to explode, while Gimenez is currently sidelined with an ankle issue.
"It is very difficult [the January window], we will be attentive and see if there is something that can improve this team and we will do it," Tare explained regarding potential signings. "But for now the team is growing, including Nkunku in the second half in Turin.
"Today is a great opportunity to see the real Nkunku, who we are all waiting for. Gimenez is having this problem [with his ankle] but we are waiting for him to truly see what he is capable of."
