According to Daniele Longo’s latest for Calciomercato.com, Milan have clear ideas for the future and are already on the hunt for a new No.9, given that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is 41 and Olivier Giroud is 36 with both of them under contract until June 2023.
The name that is attracting a lot of intrigue from Paolo Maldini, Ricky Massara and the scouting team is Armando Broja, a 21-year-old striker who has all the pre-requisites to be an excellent fit under Stefano Pioli.
He has a sense for goals, he loves attacking the space in behind, he works hard, has good technical ability and is physically powerful. After his excellent loan spells at Vitesse and Southampton, Chelsea brought him into the fold ahead of 2022-23 and gave him a renewal until 2028.
However, the Albania international is not getting much playing time under Graham Potter and he would not be against a transfer to the Rossoneri in principle
In recent weeks there have been several contacts between sporting director Ricky Massara and Broja’s entourage. Milan also talked about Broja with Chelsea, who consider him a €35m player even if they have not yet thought about a sale.
The Rossoneri have moved in advance of summer 2023 in an attempt to lay the foundations and to avoid being caught unprepared in the coming months.
