Serhou Guirassy of Borussia Dortmund is apparently the favoured name, but the likes of Mateo Retegui, Nicolas Jackson and Darwin Nunez must also be considered. However, the paper also claims that the management are ‘looking ahead’ at potential profiles for the future too.
Indeed, Milan are keeping an eye on Andrej Kostic, the Red Star striker who was negotiated over in the January transfer window. Ultimately, the management didn’t come close to paying the release clause set by the Serbian club (€20m) as stipulated in the most recent contract he signed.
Milan had offered €4m plus bonuses, but despite the player’s desire to join the Rossoneri immediately, the deal wasn’t finalised. The matter will be discussed again in a few months, because Igli Tare and co. believe that the teenager is a special talent they must land.
Disaster like Lazetic.
