After the departure of Luka Jovic, Milan will not have a player with the Number 9 for the first time in its history, not counting, of course, the early days when numbers on jerseys did not yet exist.

The only forward by role would be Santiago Gimenez, who wears the number 7 jersey; the Mexican had worn the No. 9 in his homeland with Cruz Azul.
The "9s" of Milan since fixed numbers have existed
The choice to keep a fixed number for the entire season dates back to 1995 in Serie A: the first year in which numbering became free (from 1 to 99) and surnames were printed on shirts.
Let's now look at the Rossoneri No. 9s from 1995 to today.
- George Weah: 1995 – 97 and 1998 – 2000
- Patrick Kluivert: 97/98
- Gianni Comandini: 2000/01
- Filippo Inzaghi: 2001 – 2012 (record)
- Alexandre Pato: 2012/13
Since 2013, Milan has had a complicated relationship with the No. 9, held by players who did not convince or disappointed the fans' expectations. Obviously, before reaching Olivier Giroud.
- Alessandro Matri: 2013/14
- Fernando Torres: 2014/15 (half season)
- Mattia Destro: 2014/15 (half season)
- Luiz Adriano: 2015/16
- Gianluca Lapadula: 2016/17
- André Silva: 2017/18
- Gonzalo Higuain: 2018/19
- Krzysztof Piatek: 2019/20
- Mario MandĆŸukiÄ: 2020/21
- Oliver Giroud: 2021 – 2024
- Luka Jovic: 2024/25
In Milan's history, many champions have worn the No. 9, but they did so temporarily, as the numbers depended on the initial formation lineup.
Among these, we can mention Van Basten, Gunnar Nordahl, Gianni Rivera, Pierino Prati, Aldo Serena, Boban, Lentini, Donadoni, Laudrup, Savicevic, Papin, Massaro, and Borgonovo.
