In the last few days, Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyökeres star has been linked with a move to AC Milan. However, as per a report, the 25-year-old is not one of the top targets for the Rossoneri.
It has been a stunning season for Gyökeres, scoring 36 goals and assisting an additional 14, and several clubs are keeping an eye on him. Just this morning, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Milan could make an attempt, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a decisive part.
According to Calciomercato.com, however, Gyökeres is not one of the top targets for Milan although the interest is real. Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) and Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna) are currently at the top of the wish list, with evaluations on which to focus still ongoing.
Zirkzee obviously knows Serie A better and if Milan were to hire someone like Thiago Motta, presuming that Stefano Pioli leaves, he could be the perfect fit. On the other hand, the Bayern Munich clause makes the situation a bit more complicated.
With Sesko, Milan would perhaps have bigger chances of obtaining a discount, even if just a very small one. Furthermore, he’s more similar to Olivier Giroud in terms of his characteristics, while Zirkzee would change the Rossoneri’s way of playing.
