According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have decided to renew the attack in the coming weeks. The goal of the sporting director Igli Tare is to give Massimiliano Allegri at least two new faces, who should join Santiago Gimenez.
At the moment the Mexican is not 100% sure of remaining either, even if seeing him leave six months after his arrival from Feyenoord for €32m seems unlikely. Much will depend on the offers that will arrive, but Milan have not put the Mexican on the market.
Immobile the latest name
Everyone has a price, no one is truly untouchable. Milan’s guideline has been clear for some time, but Allegri has had guarantees about next year’s team, which will fight only for domestic objectives.
Regardless of Gimenez’s future, reinforcements will arrive, one of these could be Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract expires in 2026 and who is leaving Juventus. At the moment there are no negotiations underway, but the Serbian is very close to Max, so the Rossoneri are an option.
The main problem is economic: in addition to the cost of the player, which should not exceed €25m, there is the big salary that the former Fiorentina player earns in Turin, around €12m net per season. Definitely beyond the Rossoneri’s parameters.
In addition to Vlahovic, Tare has Mateo Retegui and Darwin Nunez on the list as possible alternatives. The Capocannoniere winner costs at least €50m, while the Uruguayan – who will leave Liverpool – has a lower price.
Among the names to consider, as a third striker in the squad, is that of Ciro Immobile. The 35-year-old has not lost his habit of scoring even in Turkey (19 goals in 41 games), but after just one season in Istanbul he wants to return to Italy.
His agents have spoken to Milan, the strong bond with Tare since his time at Lazio is a factor to consider, but as of today his arrival is not to be considered a priority. The parties will talk about it later, but it is a potential low-cost option to keep in mind.
