The Rossoneri are understood to be in the market for a young centre-forward who could come in during the upcoming transfer window and be a deputy to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, learning from the Swede and allowing him to manage his workload before taking the baton off him when he retires.
Among the various other sub-lots to Milan’s game against Fiorentina today, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes that Vlahovic is definitely one of them, as the Serbian forward is a player whom the Rossoneri ‘like so much’.
He has 12 goals in Serie A so far this season and netted a hat-trick against Benevento recently, with the paper noting that some continue to compare him to Ibrahimovic in his style of play. Not only that, but Pioli – who coached the 21-year-old while he was with La Viola – confirmed his admiration for the player.
“Nikola is an incredible worker. He is an excellent centre-forward but he is young and I would be careful with comparisons. I hope he continues to do well, after the next game,” he said.
