While waiting for the new center forward, Milan strengthens in midfield: the Rossoneri’s blow comes from Chelsea
Olivier Giroud has already left for a month, direction United States and MLS and Milan is left without a striker. The renewal of Luka Jovic alone is not enough, also because the Rossoneri need a reference point, a center forward with 20 goals per season and more.
And so in via Aldo Rossi we also and above all work on this aspect, with the desire to be able close for Joshua Zirkzee as soon as possible. We need to overcome the obstacle of the commissions requested by the striker’s entourage, 15 million euros which have currently blocked the negotiation.
Salt’attack is naturally the priority, also because he is currently a missing piece in next season’s squad, the Rossoneri management is working to strengthen the all-round squad. From the defense to the midfield up to the flanks, there are several players to buy, props who can thus complete the revolution that began last season when the Rossoneri squad underwent a real restyling.
Milan, a move from Chelsea: here’s who the new midfielder is
As regards the midfield, in the management’s ideas there is a desire to buy a player who can play in tandem with Reijnders, with Loftus-Cheek permanently in a more advanced position, in the attacking midfield. The favorite is Youssouf Fofana, Monaco midfielder valued at €25 million with one year left on his contract.
If the idea relating to Hojbjerg still stands but the player was proposed to the club and not vice versa: the idea Rabiot whose contract is expiring with Juventus it is more than an option but the high demands of the entourage at the moment are not making the negotiation take off.
That’s why it’s in the last few hours Carney Chukwuemeka’s name popped up. Born in 2003 in Austria but Anglo-Nigerian by nationality, he had already ended up on the Rossoneri’s radar in 2022, when he played for Aston Villa. Chelsea, however, burned everyone by paying 18 million euros and bringing him to London.
In the 2022/2023 season, his first with the Blues shirt, he made 17 total appearances between the Premier League and FA Cup, so much so that Milan, in January of that year, wanted to sign him on loan with the right to buy. Nothing was done with the footballer who remained in London.
And in the season that ended a month ago his performance was even worse: 12 appearances in total, nine of which in the Premier League, two in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup, also due to a serious injury suffered at the start of the season, with his return in January.
