AC Milan are working hard to secure a striker ahead of next season and Joshua Zirkzee remains at the top of their wish list. According to a report, the Rossoneri will attempt to reach an agreement in principle before July.
Olivier Giroud has officially left the club and a new striker is thus needed to compete with Inter next season. Several players have been linked with Milan in recent months but Zirkzee has been mentioned more than others, at the top of the wish list.
According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Zirkzee is indeed the priority and the €40m release clause is within reach. The big problem is agent commission, though, with talk of as much as €15m which is too hefty.
Milan will attempt to lower the commission and secure an agreement in principle ahead of July 1st, when the release clause will become active. Santiago Gimenez is one of the alternatives for Milan but his arrival wouldn’t be cheaper either, with Feyenoord asking for €50m.
Atletico Madrid and Napoli have also expressed an interest in Gimenez, so Milan will have to keep a close eye on the situation. In any case, Zirkzee remains the priority and the Rossoneri will only turn to a Plan B when needed.
Gosh, both of them are good choices. I like Gimenez but not for 50m
There isn’t a plan A or B, evertime we get some big names and we end up with a mr nobody from France… look at defender we started with Buongiorno and Scalvini and we ended up with Kwior from Arsenal
This, every single time.
Kiwior is good tho
Kiwior is thrush
You’re right – let’s play Amrabat in CD. Then let’s play Amrabat as a DM. Oh and also let’s play Amrabat as a CF.
Amrabat is the answer to every problem at Milan.
We can’t even get amrabat if we get amrabat we are lucky he can solve 90% of our problems
Ogni anno la stessa tragedia. È davvero frustrante.
Wtf is wrong with you? How can you such a thing about a decent defender like that. He’s not worldclass but is on par with tomori who’s our best cb, more or less..
Just refrain yourself from writing if you’re not gonna write anything wise..
“WE” didn’t start with anything. Media is just throwing names out there because that’s all they have: names and a lot of hot air.
Here we go again, The Taremi esque of greedy agent
For some reason I feel like we will end up with Youssef En Nesyri from Sevilla
But Gimenez has better stats than zirkzee? Smh
