Calciomercato.com report that Geoffrey Moncada and the Milan management are studying the idea of signing a striker as early as the January transfer window, given that Noah Okafor is currently considered Rafael Leao’s replacement while Luka Jovic is yet to make any real contribution.
With Olivier Giroud’s two-match ban, Stefano Pioli must choose between either playing an out-of-form Jovic and hoping he sparks into life, or playing Okafor down the middle again like he has done before off the bench.
That worrying dilemma is exactly why the Rossoneri are still following Jonathan David closely, having tried to sign him at the end of the summer transfer window from Lille but without success.
The Canadian is struggling this season having netted just two goals in the league (he scored 24 last season) and Milan could try to take advantage of this situation, as well as the fact his contract expires in June 2025.

His valuation will certainly be lower now and in a couple of months when the window reopens Moncada is planning on submitting an offer which would be a paid loan with an option to buy.
The alternative remains Adams of Montpellier whose value is €15m at present, after his excellent stat to the season with seven goals in 11 appearances.
