CM: Milan to begin talks over Ligue 1 talent in the coming days but face competition

By Oliver Fisher -

Another source have claimed that AC Milan are interested in signing Montpellier striker Elye Wahi in the summer transfer window.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic potentially ready to retire and Divock Origi not entirely convincing, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara know that a new centre-forward is needed to be able to alternative with Olivier Giroud.

The management are evaluating various profiles, and Wahi is on their list. The 20-year-old can also play as a winger and he came through the youth academy at Montpellier, though this season he has exploded with the senior team amassing 13 goals and 5 assists in 29 games.

He has five goals and three assists in the last two months which shows that he is getting even better, and a meeting between Milan and the player’s entourage is scheduled for the next few days.

Wahi has a contract with Montpellier expiring in June 2025, his asking price is around €25-30m and he is also admired by Ligue 1 and Bundesliga clubs, so there is competition for Milan.
