Both teams are on the lookout for a new young centre-forward to build the attack of the future around. Milan have a 40-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a 35-year-old Olivier Giroud plus teenager Marko Lazetic, so a new striker is sought even if Divock Origi arrives on a free transfer given Ibra could retire.
