Journalist Carlo Pellegatti believes that AC Milan are not likely to sign Moise Kean, while he gave his thoughts on two other links.
It is no secret that Milan are going into the summer transfer window in need of a new centre-forward. Having tried and failed for years to get a consistent 20+ per season goal scorer, Massimiliano Allegri hopes that this time the club are able to find the right No.9 for present and future.

The names that have been linked most frequently range from Moise Kean and Mateo Retegui to Robert Lewandowski and Serhou Guirassy. There is quite a broad spectrum therefore, and it seems that the directors are working on whittling things down to the right profiles.
Three names almost ruled out
In an update on his YouTube channel (via MilanNews), Pellegatti responded to some of the talk that has been doing the rounds in recent weeks as potential striker targets.
“Despite some rumours, what filters from Milan is that the chances [of signing Kean] are close to zero, partly due to his physical fragility,” he began.
“Retegui and Darwin Núñez? Difficult options. Many players in Saudi Arabia have salaries beyond their reach (over €10-13m) and could only arrive on loan at a reduced rate.”
Can’t stand Pellegatti; he’s such a Debbie downer and never right.
