Milan have identified Giroud’s heir: the Rossoneri club is in pole position for the star, the cost of the price tag has also been revealed
The Milan he chose the attacker. Substitute Olivier Giroud it certainly won’t be easy, which is why the Rossoneri club is carefully considering the final choice to be made. The French center forward, who arrived quietly and with the role of alternative, in a very short time earned the honors of the permanent starter.
Decisive in winning the scudetto, the Frenchman has scored this season 12 goals in 26 Serie A matches with eight assists. In practice, a real war machine capable of 46 goals and 20 assists in 121 matches played wearing the Rossoneri shirt.
In short, numbers from top players absolute for the Frenchman who also put into a corner the “curse of the 9” which had affected all the centre-forwards, from Pippo Inzaghi onwards, who had worn that number. This is why Milan are looking for a center forward capable of not making them regret the Frenchman. And the management, from Ibrahimovic to Furlani and Moncada, seems to agree on the name: Joshua Zirkzee.
Milan, chosen Zirkzee for the attack: Rossoneri in pole position
“I’m a nine and a half” is how the Dutchman defined himself in a recent interview and, in fact, has all the numbers of an atypical centre-forward. Exploded this season under the tactical dictates of Thiago Motta, Zirkzee has already reached double figures with 10 goals in 27 games. He loves to roam across the entire attacking front and is able to communicate with his teammates as well as act alone.
In short, the ideal profile that greatly impressed Milan in the match against Bologna, dragged to fourth place precisely by his goals and his play. The competition on the striker is numerous, starting from Naples and from Juve to Manchester United and Bayern Munich which has a sort of fast track, but Milan seems definitely ahead.
The investment figure, as stated by Fussball.news, would fluctuate between 35 and 40 million euros. A real bargain considering that he is a player of just 22 years of age who can also guarantee a large capital gain in the event of a transfer in the future, especially if he were to continue to have this pace.
Milan, moreover, must accelerate if they really want to sign Zirkzeeconsidered as a possible European protagonist could only increase his rating.
