CM: Milan preparing to make first movement in pursuit of Premier League striker

AC Milan are ready to make their first serious move for a new striker as they seek to sign Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham United, a report claims.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri are in a bad patch of the summer transfer window where they have seen Sandro Tonali depart for Newcastle and Marcus Thuram seemingly choose a move to Inter over Milan.

The club knows that they need a physically strong striker who can rotate with Olivier Giroud and ideally replace him as the primary source of goals during the season.

Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada have fallen on Scamacca, the West Ham striker linked with many clubs this summer. They are ready to start conversations with West Ham to get the ball rolling.

The issue is that West Ham will not let him leave on loan as they paid €36 million for him only a year ago. AS Roma have already had a loan approach rejected.
