Calciomercato.com writes how Milan had offered Thuram a five-year deal worth €4.5m net per season and were optimistic they would close the deal, but then Inter offered more and he will join them, so the Rossoneri have to return to the striker market.
Alvaro Morata: The Spaniard is not considered non-transferable, given that his contract expires in 2024 (he could soon renew until 2026), but his salary of more than €5m and the offers from Saudi Arabia do not make him a cheap deal.
He would like to stay in Europe and would like to return to Italy, also because his wife Alice is Italian, so a solution is being sought.
Gianluca Scamacca: On the other hand, Scamacca could leave West Ham on loan as David Moyes does not consider him a central part of the plans currently and a return to Italy could revitalise him. Roma are the player’s priority at the moment though.
Noah Okafor: Milan have held new talks over a deal for Okafor but it would be an expensive operation, though he would fit the bill in terms of being a player who offers quality, quantity and flexibility.
Others: It could be that the new number nine for the future comes from Ligue 1, with Folarin Balogun and Thijs Dallinga from Lille and Toulouse two interesting names.
