The Rossoneri club is in pole position in the race for a center forward who will surely change shirt in the summer: will he be Giroud’s replacement?
By now it seems certain that he is saying goodbye Olivier Giroud, destined to move to MLS to wear the Los Angeles FC shirt. The Milan he is already working to buy a new striker capable of giving good guarantees in terms of goals and more.
It is certainly one of the management’s dreams Joshua Zirkzeestar of Bologna and great protagonist of this season. There has been some contact, but the operation is very complicated. The Bayern Monaco the Dutchman can get it back by paying 40 million euros, alternatively the Emilian club asks for 60-70 million for the sale (40-50% of the proceeds will go to the Bavarians). There is competition from Italian and especially English teams.
Milan, not just Zirkzee: dialogues for another striker
Obviously, Milan also have the names of other centre-forwards on their list, less expensive than Zirkzee. In recent days we have been talking about again Serhou GuirassyStuttgart’s goalscorer who can free himself 17.5 million thanks to a termination clause in your contract. But there is another profile that seems to warm Geoffrey Moncada more.
We are referring to Jonathan David, old passion of the current Rossoneri technical director. Moncada has been following him for some time and had already suggested purchasing him when the Maldini-Massara duo was at the top of the sporting area. The Canadian international has a contract that expires in June 2025 and does not seem willing to renew with the Lille. It can start for a not too high sum. The request of your current club is around 45-50 milliontractable.
According to what was revealed by the journalist Orazio Accomando of DAZN, there was a new contact between Milan and David’s agent. At the moment the Rossoneri are ahead of the Naplesanother club strongly interested in the Lille center forward.
On April 9, the player’s agent had been to Milan, had met both AC Milan and Inter managers. But there have also been contacts with Napoli. Clearly, even abroad there is no shortage of clubs interested in getting their hands on David, who has scored so far this season 24 goals and 7 assists in 43 appearances. He didn’t have a very brilliant start, then he recovered and returned to his standards.
Born in New York, he chose to play for Canada and joined the national team 26 goals and 16 assists in 46 matches. Will he be Milan’s new number 9?
