AC Milan are probing numerous different tracks as they look to raise the quality of their squad in view of the 2022-23 season, with particular attention on the attack.
According to SportMediaset (via MilanNews), one of the argets Milan have on their list is Marco Asensio, who is looking for a club to relaunch himself and in this sense the Rossoneri could be a fit for him. There are excellent relations between Milan and Real Madrid after the Theo Hernandez and Brahim Diaz deals.
Asensio is aiming for a higher salary than the €5.5m net per season he currently gets from Real Madrid but RedBird Capital founder and main man Gerry Cardinale has told Maldini and Massara to be careful with expensive contracts.
A slightly longer contract of €5m per season could be a compromise, while the transfer fee would be €25m. The alternative is Charles De Ketelaere, who would cost at least €35m.
Meanwhile, Milan are nearing a deal for Francesco Acerbi. There is already an agreement with the player, and while one with Lazio is missing but there is talk of a €5m transfer fee. Then Matteo Gabbia could end up at Sampdoria on a paid loan with obligation to buy and a possible buy-back.
