AC Milan are aiming to reinforce the team with a new No.9 between January and the summer, with a couple of key targets on their wish list. Serhou Guirassy is one of them and talks are underway with his entourage, a report claims.
Olivier Giroud isn’t getting younger at the age of 37 – though with eight goals and five assists this season – and Milan thus intend to sign a striker for the future. Lille’s Jonathan David has been mentioned many times, but it appears Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy has leapfrogged him.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are in talks with the player’s entourage but the big obstacle is the salary demand of €4m per year. It’s a salary that would make Guirassy one of the best-paid players in the team and that’s why the Rossoneri are reflecting.
The 27-year-old, who has scored 19 goals in 16 appearances this season, has a €17m release clause in his contract and many clubs are thus monitoring his situation. Nevertheless, he remains the Plan A for Milan and an attempt will most likely be made next month.
Giroud and Luka Jovic will lead the line for now. The Serbian has scored three goals in his last three appearances and could stay at Milan beyond this season.
