CorSera: Openda back in fashion as Milan could now invest in a striker

AC Milan are now thinking about investing in a new centre-forward again after missing out on Marcus Thuram, according to a report.

According to Corriere della Sera (via PianetaMilan), Milan have missed out on the signing of Thuram who has chosen to join rivals Inter, and that could change the strategy of the management with a centre-forward still needed.

Milan could now cool their pursuit of Davide Frattesi for example given that he would cost €40m, and more economic resources are needed for a striker, with Lois Openda of RC Lens back in the viewfinder.

He scored 21 goals and added four assists in 42 matches across all competitions last season and in recent days Bundesliga side RB Leipzig tried to get an agreement over the line for the Belgian without succeeding thus far.

That is mainly because he currently has an asking price of €50m, with Lens not rushing to sell after securing Champions League qualification.
