AC Milan are still being linked with a move for Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca by La Gazzetta dello Sport, who claims that there is a strategy in mind.
The paper claims that what filters from the club suggests the centre-forward department of Olivier Giroud, Divock Origi (who is a done deal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic – when he returns from injury – and Ante Rebic is enough to head into the 2022-23 season with.
There are unknowns among this though as Origi is not a scoring machine and has been a bench player for basically his entire time at Liverpool, while the condition in which Ibrahimovic returns in January remains to be seen.
That is why another striker could serve the squad and the idea of the management remains Gianluca Scamacca. The Rossoneri can offer the Champions League and the club’s strategy of not putting him publicly at the top of priorities serves at the same time to avoid auctions.
Scamacca is young, does not yet cost an amount that is out of reach and has large margins to grow. He would also serve as a home-grown player for the UEFA and Serie A squad list regulations, while there is a certain charm about the fact he should lead the front line for national team as well in years to come.
The price set by Sassuolo is €40m and Milan must open their wallet if they are to sign other targets like Sven Botman, Renato Sanches, Charles De Ketelaere, Noa Lang and Nicolo Zaniolo, but there are other solutions.
Milan might have an advantage over a club like PSG – who are also keen on Scamacca – by offering certain counterparts such as Daniel Maldini or Lorenzo Colombo. In the meantime the Neroverdi have signed Agustin Alvarez from Peñarol, who could well be Scamacca’s successor.
Noooooo, waste of 40M. Put that money on other players like CDK and a good rw. We dont need a striker, Giroud can do it with a good right winger
Agree. Put that F fund into berardi and cdk ffs cuz cdk can operate as striker too. We will have 3 tall ST
Agree, snap Belotti up on free to cover this role and use the money where it is needed the most.
Yep. 40M€ on Scamacca or 0€ on Belotti is a no-brainer.
How much Is the money Milan want to spend this summer self
I dont understand why people seem to hate Scamacca!To me he has all we need in one number 9 he is strong,tall knows how to play with the foots and head,young!People say is not worth the 40 millions just because he scored 16 gols in 36 games with Sassoulo while Real Madrid pays 80 million plus 20 millions more in bonus for one Defensife Midfielder no one says its not worth!
