Olivier Giroud is expected to part ways with AC Milan at the end of the season and as a result, a new striker will be needed. However, according to a report, the Rossoneri could sign more than just one striker in the summer.
Giroud has reached an agreement with the MLS side LAFC, as per several reports, and will thus pack his bags at the end of the season. Although his miss against Roma is on everybody’s minds right now, he has been an important player and a strong No.9 is needed to replace him.
According to Daniele Longo in his latest article for Calciomercato.com, Milan are closely monitoring Kevin Denkey and his progress in the Belgian league. He has a price tag of €15m and could potentially arrive as a dedicated deputy, with a bigger name expected for the starting role.
As the report continues, the renewal of Luka Jovic is far from certain even though he’s done okay after the struggles at the start. Therefore, with Giroud’s exit certain and the Serbian potentially leaving as well, Milan could bring in two strikers this summer.
Denkey could be one of them, while Joshua Zirkzee remains the primary target for the position, per the report. Jovic is expected to start tomorrow and will surely try to convince the management to renew his contract.
Brain dead idea to let him go and fork out another 15 mil for another potential flop with no experience in a top league. This management is hopeless. Just sign Jovic, a proven super sub for us, on a free. Then fork out the money for 1 QUALITY starting striker. It’s that simple. Why overcomplicate it for literally no reason?
I wouldn’t put much stock in this article. Jovic reportedly has an extension clause in the team’s favour so I would be very surprised if they don’t trigger it given the low costs.
Oh they have too much to money it’s seems. No more 2 months of begging for 1.5 million discounts in the summer then.
