One of the main issues to address in the summer window will be the signing of a new centre-forward, given the struggles that Milan have had in front of goal in 2025-26. There have been countless names linked, and Daniele Triolo has provided an update for PianetaMilan (via Radio Rossonera).
A surprise from Como?
Triolo begins by taking stock of the names that have been circulating in recent months, stating that Dušan Vlahović is negotiating a contract renewal with Juventus, and is therefore unlikely to arrive. A return to Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta is unlikely as well, given how deadline day went.
Massimiliano Allegri is pushing to acquire Moise Kean from Fiorentina. Obviously, the figure would be lower than the €62m release clause included in his contract, which is valid from July 1st to 15th. Meanwhile, negotiations continue for Andrej Kostić with Partizan, who is one for the future.
However, the three big Italian clubs are following with great interest the progress of Anastasios Douvikas, the Greek centre-forward for Cesc Fàbregas’ Como. He is one of the revelations of the season, having scored 10 goals in 29 Serie A appearances.
Douvikas – who hadn’t shone in Spain with Celta Vigo – has established himself on the shores of Lake Como and is currently worth €25-30m. If Como fail to qualify for Europe, they could sell him, and at that point, Milan, Inter and Juventus would be fighting over him.
