AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits he wants to buy in January.
Pioli is confident he and management are on the same page.
He said, "There is no need to convince the club, they know the team's needs. The club knows what to do to improve the team in January, then it's difficult to make predictions about the timing."
Pioli says there'll no pressure on Ismael Bennacer not to join the Algeria AFCON squad.
He added: "He has already answered correctly and justly, it is not he who decides the calendar and it is not we who have decided to make play the Africa Cup of Nations in January. If he is well, he will be called up and if he accepts the call he will leave for the Africa Cup of Nations just like (Samuel) Chukwueze."
