AC Milan still have Jonathan David at the top of their list of striker targets for the summer despite his difficult start to the season, according to a report.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan’s plan is to renew Olivier Giroud’s contract by another year until 2025 and also finally integrate Lorenzo Colombo into the first team fold after multiple loan spells.
However, an investment in a new striker for the future will also be needed, and ‘David with a discount’ is on the agenda. The management plan to make the Lille star the ‘prized piece of the attacking relay’ as someone who Giroud can pass the baton to.
Milan tried to sign the Canada international at the end of last August and will continue to monitor his situation in January, given his deal will expire in June 2025. This is a detail that lowers his market value from the €60m requested last summer to around €40m.
It is more difficult to imagine that the Rossoneri will sign him when the winter transfer window reopens, but Milan will make a second attempt at some point, even more aggressive than the first.
