On July 2, 2015, AC Milan purchased two strikers. The first, Carlos Bacca, cost €30 million to bring over from Sevilla and was the true jewel in the team's summer transfer activity.
The second, less heralded acquisition was Luiz Adriano. Picked up for €9 million from Shakhtar Donetsk, Adriano's signing left the people who did register it scratching their heads. Serie A represented a massive step up for a player who had spent almost all of his career in the Ukrainian Premier League. An even more pressing question was whether the Brazilian could coexist with Bacca, who plays a similar style of game.
