GdS: Origi may not be enough as Milan look at other strikers – the names on their list

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are not fully content with just the signing of Divock Origi and are searching for another centre-forward, a report claims.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that while a certain calm filters from Casa Milan about the striker role, the Rossoneri management are still conscious of the fact they have a 36-year-old in Oliver Giroud, a teenager in Marko Lazetic and a striker who has been a back-up for a few years now in Origi.

Gianluca Scamacca of Sassuolo remains on Maldini and Massara’s wish list because they know the importance of having a young centre-forward who could help Giroud and Origi and learn from them, giving quality depth in a role that is key with the ambitions being to defend the Scudetto and go further in the Champions League.

However, his Sassuolo team-mate Giacomo Raspadori is also in the viewfinder of the Milan management and he is a profile that is appreciated because he is able to play both as a striker and as a playmaker.

Then there is a whole host of players capable of playing as a false nine like Charles De Ketelaere of Club Brugge and Nicolo Zaniolo of Roma. Finding a concrete alternative to Scamacca is not an easy task, which is why the idea of relying on Origi or looking for other internal solutions such as Ante Rebic could end up being the approach chosen, thus allowing funds to be used elsewhere.

  1. None of these Sassuolo guys are worth more than 15 million. So unless Sassuolo changes their mind on valuation none are worth it.

  2. a) a false nine is a tactical role, a midfielder playing as a striker doesn’t make them a ‘false 9’, to be that they need to occupy defenders but drag them into midfield to open space for wingers. CDK wouldn’t likely play that role if he was up front

    b) if they were going to sign Scamacca (or another CF) then Origi is a complete waste of this year’s funds, so that’s just not going to happen

    c) Scamacca has a huge price tag on him, there’s not likely any value there

  3. So we’re not gonna sign a CB to use funds elsewhere, and we’re not gonna sign any strikers besides Origi to use funds elsewhere, yet we’re bargaining and begging for discounts on every single target we have elsewhere 🧐

  4. That is my major problem with Ac Milan for a long period of time, especially when it comes to negotiations… Today they want to sign this player, tomorrow they want to sign another, and all these aforementioned players will end up not playing for Ac Milan because of there inability to hastily execute payments, am just hoping things will change now, and now that we have Redbirds on our radar

  6. There really is no good targets.
    Origi should be a good value deal. Maybe we could add Belotti to compete with Giroud.

    Darwin was a good target, but both price and timing was not good for us.

  7. Treba nam VRHUNSKI br 10 !!! Krunić i Diaz to ne mogu zadovoljit ni izdaleka . Isto tako treba VRHUNSKO desno krilo !!!!! Salemakers i Mesijas to ne mogu !! Dakle to su dvije polazne točke od kojih treba krenut . Sve ostalo je manje više dobro uz ove koji se vračaju Pobega i Adli i ove koji su dogovoreni – Origi i Sanchez !!
