Although AC Milan have not officially missed out on Kaio Jorge, the management are beginning to probe the market for other possible attacking targets.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan have taken a more secluded position in recent days with regards to the Kaio Jorge soap opera, convinced that they have reached an agreement in principle with the 19-year-old and are not willing to participate in auctions with other clubs.
If the Rossoneri do miss out then they will look for a different young striker to come in and grow behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud, with Randal Kolo Muani of FC Nantes the latest target. His contract expires in a year and he is not currently interested in evaluating the renewal offers, but Milan are not the only team to have gathered information about him.
He amassed 9 goals and 8 assists in 37 games last season and made a fundamental contribution to the survival of Nantes in Ligue 1, and he has also just come back from the Tokyo Olympics where he represented France.
The 22-year-old has a combination of athletic and technical skill, and is a centre-forward who is good at getting the team involved with build-up play, but can also function as right winger capable of making the difference in one-on-one situations thanks to his devastating pace. He also captured the eye of Milan for his adaptability to different positions, as per the report.
