It is no secret that AC Milan want to sign a striker this summer, and a new name has been added to the shortlist, it seems, this morning.

There can be no denying that Milan have struggled up front this season. Whilst they have got two of the biggest forward stars in Europe, they are not scoring at a rate which the Rossoneri can rely upon. So, Massimiliano Allegri wants guaranteed goals.
This is not a new request, though. In fact, since he joined, perhaps before then, he has wanted the Diavolo to sign a top-level striker, and it seems more likely as we grow closer to the summer, with no more experiments expected.
A new name
This hunt for a striker has now led the club to Bologna, where a track towards Santiago Castro could be studied. Milan have been big admirers of the Argentine for some time, and his situation will be monitored over the next few weeks, as Sky reports (via Calciomercato.com).
It is not an impossible goal, either. The report suggests that he would be open to leaving the Rossoblu to explore a new chapter, and Serie A clubs could take note of this information, not just the Diavolo.
Juventus, it seems, would be the biggest threat, and with no clarification on Milan’s parameters, they could get an advantage.
