According to what La Gazzetta dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it) writes, the Bahrain-based fund will announce themselves to Italian football with a €300m summer transfer window thanks to the liquidity deriving from the change of ownership and the status of a club who are again fighting for trophies and are back in the Champions League.
The first name on the wish list of the Rossoneri management is Darwin Nunez of Benfica, who has 33 goals scored in 36 games this season alone including 6 goals in 9 Champions League appearances.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara believe that Nunez is the perfect striker to re-establish Milan and provide certainties for an attack that should say goodbye to Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer or next, while Olivier Giroud (35) is also out of contract in 2023.
The Uruguayan forward is valued at €80m so he would represent the most expensive purchase ever for the Diavolo, but at the same time that figure would be amortised over a long-term contract with a salary of only around €4-5m net per season, which can access the benefits of the growth decree too.
