AC Milan have tried to lock up the signing of Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report.

Milan have already invested in the signing of Santiago Gimenez who should soon be announced as a new addition, but it seems that the management are keen on a full overhaul of the centre-forward role.

During an update in which he reports that Joao Felix is getting closer to joining from Chelsea, Gianluca Di Marzio adds that Milan ‘have also tried to secure Nikola Krstovic’ for June.

They put forward an offer worth €20m as a fixed amount plus €5m in bonuses. However, Lecce do not want to commit to his sale at present, after having just sold Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United.

Krstović is 24 years of age and plays for the Montenegro national team. He has scored seven goals for Lecce so far this season in Serie A, adding three assists too.

With Alvaro Morata having gone to Galatasaray on a loan with option to buy deal, and with Tammy Abraham only on a dry loan, it feels like there is a conscious effort being made to revamp the attack in view of next season.

  1. No need for this guy. Colombo has simmilar numbers and is younger. Just keep Colombo as Gimenez back up next season and concentrate your spending on the mid.

    1. Yes, this guy is ass and Colombo has something our team is missing. He presses high, he fights for balls. Could be a very consistent backup for our team.

  2. As Montenegrin, I’d love to see another Montenegrin in our jersey. He has quality, with players have, he could develop and become an asset.

    1. Felix isn’t a guarantee next season. Plus I think he will be more a CAM or back up for puli pending rotation. We need targets in the box as our crosses and passes end up nowhere. We need someone who converts inside the box.

      Then again I could be wrong.
