CM: Fiorentina set to beat Milan to signing of striker – €10m offer tabled

By Isak Möller -

Over the last few months, AC Milan have been linked with several strikers as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud aren’t getting younger. Most of them have been very young, including Agustin Alvarez. 

The Penarol striker, aged 20, scored 23 goals for the Uruguayan side in all comps last season, which ended in December. It’s not hard to understand why he has attracted the interest of several big clubs, in other words.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have followed him with great interest in the past and had a meeting with Alvarez’s agent a few weeks ago. However, it appears that Fiorentina are one step away from securing the striker.

They have been in talks with the agent since December and a five-year contract has now been agreed on. La Viola have tabled a €10m offer (plus bonuses) for Penarol and he would also remain at the club until the end of the Serie A season. The deal could even be closed this weekend, per the report.

  1. Fiorentina have money from selling Vlahovic.
    So we have no chances to beat them on the market. No surprises if they re-sell the boy for another 70 million next year.

  2. Milan can’t be this lax. Elliott’s management strategy is sign young players and sell them for more when they mature, why are they passing up on this guy. We passed up on Julian and now we want to pass up on Agustin. Wow!

  3. Milan is the chief scouts for the rest of European teams , they identify talent for other teams . List is endless and we have to settle for lazetic and miss out on Both Alverez one on the verge of joining Man city and another one to Florientina?

    As much we don’t have money to spend there are stars we can get on loan across Europe and also free agents. Let’s get some reinforcement on CB,ACM,RW and ST

    CB-Eric Bailey or Saliba , please don’t even think of Tenganga he can’t defend at all look at the last 5 games of Tottenham and see how they conceded!

    ACM- Isco or Dale Alli can do better than Dias and he is strong and available for loan move

    RW, Jesse Lingard will do better than Saledmakers and he can give is more than 5 goals and 3 assist , guaranteed

    ST, Let’s try to get Belloti now to push for scudutto, Giroud doesn’t press and work as hard as Belloti they can assist each other during the time we don’t have Zlatan and help us get Maximum points

    Management need to act quick , we are going to battle to get to even top 4 with all team below and in-top of us made reasonable and title challenging signings ,they will compete !
