The discussions at the Milan headquarters continue on the striker to buy for next season. The Rossoneri do not want to make a mistake in their choice, the number 9 will be the most important purchase of the entire strengthening campaign and for this reason every variable will have to be calculated. The dream at the beginning of the market has always been Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, and in fact the Devil had also reached a basic agreement with the player on the salary figures, however the operation has been stuck for over twenty days on the commissions to be paid to the Dutchman’s agent. Milan have no intention of paying 15 million to Kia Joorabchian and for this reason they are looking around if the deal for Zirkzee does not go through. Among the most monitored profiles there is Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord, out of the Copa America with his Mexico for a few hours after a very disappointing group. The striker who plays in Holland has not scored a single goal and his adventure with the national team has ended earlier than expected.
Milan, the attacking tracks
Feyenoord’s request is high, currently around 50 million euros, but Milan would not pay high commissions as requested by Zirkzee’s agent. In the last season in the Eredivisie, the Mexican scored 26 goals and provided 8 assists, but he is still tied to a three-year contract with Feyenoord, who will therefore ask for a high sum to let him go. The Rossoneri have not even ruled out the idea of focusing on Artem Dovbyk of Girona, coming off a disappointing European Championship but a memorable year with the Spanish team. The value of Dovbyk’s clause is 40 million euros.
Milan, the midfield moves. And Rabiot…
In midfield, the other big purchase of the Milanese summer will arrive. The technical director Moncada wants to focus on Youssouf Fofana from Monaco. To date, there is still a financial distance between Monaco’s request and what the Rossoneri would like to invest. In fact, Milan hopes to bring the midfielder to Milanello for 20 million euros, bonuses included. While the French team is asking for around 25 million, they are also aware that they will not be able to keep the player against their will after having promised him his departure during the summer market. Fofana will be essential to give balance to the team and try to concede fewer goals. Incoming, the Devil is always monitoring the situation related to Rabiot, now released by Juventus.
