AC Milan will now turn to focusing on the signing of a striker, having completed the midfield with Ardon Jashari’s arrival.

In case you missed the big news over the last 24 hours, a deal has finally been agreed between Milan and Club Brugge worth €39m with add-ons included. He landed in Italy on Tuesday night for a Wednesday medical.

With the midfield jigsaw complete, and with Zachary Athekame looking set to join from Young Boys to fill the right-back role, there is just the centre-forward position for the directors to work on, net of any sales.

From Hojlund to Nunez

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Igli Tare and co. are now turning their attentions to which striker will arrive to fill the No.9 spot (and shirt).

Rasmus Hojlund is still on the Rossoneri’s wish list, especially if Manchester United decide to open up a loan formula, with an option to buy.

Darwin Núñez is a name they really like too, but following the contacts of the last few days it seems a move to Al-Hilal is on the cards. The Saudi club are pushing hard and, therefore, a significant investment would be needed to acquire him.

Other profiles on the list include Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus and Breel Embolo of Monaco. Either way, after completing the midfield, Milan want to focus on the attack.

  1. Nunez price its too high + vlahovic don’t want to lowered price and salary, I think would be end up with loan + option to buy. Italian football typical.

    1. this was obvious unless the management finds a player who is older but can do what they require and can cost far less. I think Duvan Zapata is a serious option if they were to try and go for him.

      1. Zapata has been out for over 300 days with a cruciate ligament injury and is only about to return so I highly doubt that he is an option for us or for that matter should be one at the age of 34. Not a bad player at his prime but still…

      2. High 5! I don’t know what the mąnągement sees in waste of a striker Hojlund. No team in Premier league is bidding for him and that’s to tell you how bad he is. Please don’t bring that guy, even if he is given to us as a gift

        1. The guy is a technical gifted striker but had a horrible year just as the rest of his team mates. He is 22 if I remember correctly. In the 2023-24 season he was the top scorer in cl with 5 or 6 goals until utd. was kicked out of the group play. Clearly he isn’t as bad as you profess.

  2. Vlahovic or Højlund would be fine with me but I do really hope that we can strike a great deal for the Serbian.

  3. Vlahovic is better than Højlund, no dount about, but I highly doubt he will lower his wage demands enough.

    That makes Højlund an acceptable compromise between value for money and money for value.

    One of the benefits of Højlund is his workrate and physics.

  4. I agree Vlahovic and Højlund definitely seems to me as the best options that has been tossed around in the media.

  5. I’ve always been a strong proponent of the Rasmus Højlund idea. He’s very young yet ready to deliver, energetic, pacy, and technically gifted, with lots of room to improve, especially in a lower-pressure league like Serie A. He’s also available for about 30m, a fraction of what Manchester United paid him. It’s a no-brainer for me!

  6. Allegri vai jogar com 2 pontas e 1 CA
    Ou vai jogar com 2 CA
    Se for 2 CA ( dois canhotos não sei se dar certo no caso Gimenez e Dusan)
    Se for 1 CA (quem vai ser o reserva imediato ou vai deixar os 2 brigarem pela vaga)

  7. Darwin Nunez is a complete striker and the best one on that list easily. That’s why he is so expensive still. His skill set is incredibly versatile, which makes me think he would work perfectly up front at Milan. He also works his ass off every single game, so great mentality right there 👌

  8. Hojlund is not bad at all, in fact he’s a good striker, and also a player that can still develop. One must bear in mind that the United is performing pretty bad for a very long time, and this a factor that seriously afect the status of any player.

  9. I wouldn’t mind hojlund on loan with option. He’s actually different to what we have, is young and has the potential. Very fast and physical and let’s be honest, anyone that goes to manchester fails miserably. Even the return of ronaldo
