GdS: Milan back in for €40m Sassuolo striker – counterparts could be the key

AC Milan are not giving up on signing Gianluca Scamacca and offering a counterpart could be key in negotiations with Sassuolo, a report claims.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), a meeting at the end of the season between Paolo Maldini, Ricky Massara and Sassuolo’s CEO Giovanni Carnevali was expected, but there is currently no confirmation on when this will take place and if there are any scheduled at all.

What is clear is that Milan are interested in Scamacca especially with the news that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out until 2023 after undergoing nee surgery. The Neroverdi have already set a price of €40m for the Italian striker, especially after he renewed his contract towards the end of the campaign.

Milan are also thinking of possible counterparts to be included in the negotiation to lighten the cash sum required, with Lorenzo Colombo and Marco Brescianini – who spent the season on loan to SPAL and Monza respectively in Serie B – plus potentially Marco Nasti or Daniel Maldini being considered.
