Milan is about to finally resolve the center forward issue, here’s who will be the new striker available to coach Paulo Fonseca
One of the big themes of this summer transfer market concerns Milan’s new number 9, the replacement for Olivier Giroud who left the Rossoneri after having broken the curse of that shirt and that role, the central striker of the penalty area, capable of finalizing the amount of play of his teammates and scoring heavy goals. The French striker, also making his swan song with his national team at the European Championships being held in Germany, will end his MLS career at Los Angeles FC.
And so on Gerry Cardinale the problem of providing the team with a new double-digit centre-forward who is capable of being lethal in front of goal and can communicate with the other interpreters of the offensive department has become clear.
The primary target, the Dutch Joshua Zirkzeerepresents a costly operation, 40 million, the amount of the release clause, and the issue relating to the commissions, considered excessive by the AC Milan management.
Furthermore, the young talent from the Netherlands has very different physical and technical characteristics compared to Giroud, he is a potential champion who did very well with the Bologna shirt in his first season in Serie A but he is atypical tipwho also likes to play away from the goal.
Guirassy is now the favorite for Milan’s attack, the numbers and cost are on his side
For this reason the most viable hypothesis at the moment is that of Guirassy, Guinean bomber of 1996, which can
free himself from Stuttgart by making use of the clause, which is equal to 17.5 million euros. For him 44 goals in 56 matches with the German club, which finished the last Bundesliga in second place.
Guirassy enjoys strong interest also of Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, the next few days could be decisive, Milan can close but must definitively convince themselves to focus on him.
A new era that of Fonseca but characterized by tactical continuity
Fonseca will continue the cycle started with Pioli, with the valorization of the youth sector, the proposal of an offensive game with attention to ball possession.
The performers in the Milan squad are ideal and the objective is to shore it up with additions that will allow it to bridge the gap with its cousins Inter and fight for the Scudetto.
