Tuttosport: Milan to sign a striker in 2023 – Ajax and Chelsea duo on the wish list

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are ready to make an investment on a new centre-forward next summer and names continue to emerge as potential targets.

According to a report from Tuttosport (via Calciomercato.com), Zlatan Ibrahimovic will likely retire at the end of the current campaign meaning a new striker is needed to complete a department consisting of a 35-year-old Olivier Giroud (expected to renew) and  Divock Origi.

The identikit is as follows: a young striker with good experience at a high level and costs in line with the Charles De Ketelaere deal. Noah Okafor of Red Bull Salzburg has been mentioned, but other profiles begin to appear.

Among the Rossoneri’s ideas are Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta and Mohammed Kudus of Ajax. The former arrived in Bergamo this summer from Sturm Graz for €17m and has a goal and an assist in four appearances.

The second has been a revelation for Ajax, with 7 goals in 10 appearances having been moved forward after spending the last two seasons often playing in midfield.

There are eyes also on Armando Broja of Chelsea who was heavily linked with a move to Napoli in the summer, but that of course defends on the plans of new head coach Graham Potter.

  1. If Redbird wants operation like vlahovic then it’s Victor Osimhen 1st Patrick Schick 2nd Jonathan David 3rd Evanilson 4th Brian Brobbey

    1. Yet they’ll once again end up buying a player who has scored against them so Okafor it is. Then they’ll loan him out with option to buy the next year after he has failed to impress.

  2. If you haven’t seen the two Champions League goals Kudus has scored this year (first one against Rangers when he physically held off the VERY strong Tavernier before unleashing a ROCKET shot off the far right post into the back of the net; and the 2nd one even more of a rocket shot perfectly placed into the top left corner against Liverpool) — then PLEASE look up on YouTube.

    This 22 year old Ghanaian is a rising star.
