Yesterday was dedicated to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the great center forward of the Rossoneri past. One of the next events will feature the 9 of the future, the heir of Giroud and Ibra himself. It is the priority of the Rossoneri market even if it is not necessarily the first deal in chronological order: negotiations on attackers often require a little more patience. The Zirkzee affair proves it: last season’s exploits, the goals scored and allowed to be scored, the last second call-up with the Netherlands have turned the spotlight on him and the attention doesn’t help to shorten the time. Agent Kia Joorabchian tries to use the situation to his advantage: he asks for a 15 million commission. For Milan, a disproportionate request, which he has no intention of giving in to. Thus began a stalemate phase, which may or may not be overcome: yesterday it continued in silence, Milan are waiting for Kia to review their demands, while Kia did not pick up the phone to contact the CEO. Furlani confirming that he wants to lower the requests. The rift can be mended but the agent must step forward: Milan is otherwise ready to pay the 40 million worth of the release clause. His figure would go 60% to Bologna and the other 40% to Bayern Munich: for the rossoblù, who had purchased him for 8.5, a considerable profit. Even if the management would be happy to give up the profit and keep Zirkzee in the squad: it is a possibility that should not be ruled out at all.
The other tracks

Milan are not in a hurry either: they have a wide list of alternatives and a large budget to allocate to the purchase of the attacker. Samu Omorodion, 1 meter and 93 centimeters tall, also made his way into the crowd. A goal giant and a baby in age: born in 2004, just turned twenty. Raised in Granada, last summer he was purchased by Atletico Madrid for 5 million: he scored 9 goals in his last season on loan at Alaves. The price is still accessible and indeed, the value could grow at the Rossoneri: this is the club’s strategy for young talents. The case of Guirassy or Lukaku is different: they cost even less (Guirassy the 17.5 million clause), they offer adequate guarantees in front of goal, but they certainly have less room for valorisation. The outsider is Artem Dovbyk, 27 years old, Ukrainian striker for Girona.
