Milan will need to sign a new centre-forward potentially as early as next summer and an investment will be needed. We must not rule out Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s retirement at the end of the season, also considering he is 41, while Olivier Giroud is 36 and his deal expires next June, plus Divock Origi has been plagued by injury problems.
Corriere dello Sport (via MilanLive) confirm that among the strikers that the Rossoneri management like is Armando Broja, a 21-year-old Albania international who plays at Chelsea and recently scored his first senior goal for the club in a 3-0 win over Wolves.
This season he has struggled for playing time after returning from a loan at Southampton having amassed just 173 minutes on the pitch spread over 10 appearances between the Premier League and the Champions League.
If the situation does not improve, the player could well leave London and Broja has long been on Milan’s radar. Yesterday at Casa Milan the management had a meeting with the intermediary Cheikh Fall – a figure close to the entourage of Broja – and while at the moment there is nothing concrete, Maldini and Massara will monitor the player’s situation.
