AC Milan have identified Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy as the next target if they fail to sign Joshiua Zirkzee from Bologna this summer.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan), the Rossoneri have a low-cost option available to them if Zirkzee chooses to stay at Bologna or move to a different club.
There is little doubt now that Zirkzee is the primary choice for Milan to replace the outgoing Olivier Giroud, but a host of other teams in Europe are being linked with him as well and Milan must plan for the eventuality of him becoming unavailable.
It seems that the next choice for Milan will be to spend a lot less money than the €60m it is thought that Zirkzee will cost, and make a move for Stuttgart’s Guirassy.
The 28-year-old has been in remarkable form this season and would be available for just €17.5m thanks to his release clause, one that Stuttgart are presumably now regretting.
He has 27 goals and two assists this season in all competitions and is behind only Harry Kane in the top-scorer race in the Bundesliga. He would not be as long-term an option as Zirkzee but he is certainly far cheaper.
Knowing the American scum that owns us I tend to think this is probably plan A
It’s all pointing to us not wanting Plan A to start with.
This “American scum” language is so boring it’s off the charts. What the heck has Cardinale’s nationality got to do with anything? Sheesh.
It was “American scum” that turned this club around, took it from a struggling team in massive debt, that hadn’t won the scudetto in a decade or qualified for Champions league in over five years. Now has the club profitable, won the Scudetto for first time in a decade and is playing in Champions League every year. You are welcome you silly ignorant fool.
You are confusing Redbird with Elliot, Redbird have done nothing of the sort. They have been here for one and half season and qualified once after we already did it multiple times under elliot.
No, They were “American scum” as well.
Just got out of the shower. Definitely scummy. I’ll own it.
Both is the answer.
Zirkzee is a 9.5. So imagine him where RLC is now. Then put Guirassey where Giroud is.
That’s 80m.
20-30m left for a DM and we get a couple solid players on a free.
Even scum can dream
I like this idea but instead of 30 mil on a goalee I’d go for a central defender…
We might be lucky to land plan b too..
It’s good to have a plan B but with Milan you just now they won’t even try going, properly, for plan A. It’s stupid tho.. you want a striker for 70M and your plan B is a dude for 17M. That’s a lot of pennies just hanging in the air.. or do they honestly believe they can cheapskate zirkzee for 30-40M? What’s plan C? Mbappe on free?
Taremi, lol.
Morata? Lukaku? Icardi? Mitrovic?
If none of the above, maybe they will go with Jovic, Colombo, and Lazetic as the lowest cost avaiable rn 😀
Donkey from Belgium league probably. Or is it Denkey…
We know how it went last summer when other teams had interest in our targets, like Thuram, Ndicka or Taremi. We only signed guys that nobody were looking for. Let’s hope they learned from that, I can understand they don’t want to speak about a new coach now with some games remaining, but we have to conclude on our top targets this time. Coach and players. Before someone else does.
Icardi would not be bad at all. Up until now, it has always been the classic strikers who have already made their mark.
Plan C vinicius jr. 😂😂😂
I think plan b is far better then plan a
Zirkzee while younger never had a really high numbers
Guisarry scorine more then 10 a season few season already
And honestly we should invest in the midfield..
Jorjinho n Zeleneski are free agent
Milan has never being a serious team
They never sign those they intend getting
We always end up buying plan K
So let’s wait loads of other names will be mentioned before we pick someone from obscurity
Why not both? Okafor is injury prone, Jovic is 3rd option at best. We need 2 new CF/ST.
Let’s be honest – UNLESS we sell Mike and Benny – we are not spending 50-60M with these owner and getting Zirkzee and therefore, Guirassy is PLAN A lol.
Sad part is we should have just taken Guirassy in January when he was also available for the same price – could have helped us THIS season. You know like we should have slo signed Miranda in Janaury as well – BUT our penny pinching owners of course passed and didn’twant to spend the $$. Shocking.
MUSAH IS PLAN A.. he is the answer to all
MILAN’S PROBLEM. He is the stricker, the midfielder the defender. He is the coach also.
