As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning, Milan need a true No.9 for next season and this will be the management’s main mission in the summer. It’s no secret that in January, the Rossoneri attempted to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace, who failed his medical.
Kean and the others
This summer, Milan will once again be looking to sign a top striker, and one of the first names on the shortlist is Moise Kean. The paper adds that Massimiliano Allegri – who knows him well having previously coached him at Juventus – had already identified him as a preferred signing last summer.
The Fiorentina star has a contract until 2029, with a €62m release clause that runs from July 1st to 15th. However, the current season has been disappointing for Kean, who could decide to move clubs at the end of this season.
The Viola striker isn’t the only name in the running: Dusan Valhovic, for example, remains a name to monitor (his contract with Juventus is expiring), as is Mateo Pellegrino from Parma who is perhaps more of a gamble.
Also on the table are two more intriguing names. The first is Al-Hilal’s Darwin Nunez, who is on his way out after Al-Hilal signed Karim Benzema in January. The other is Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus, whose contract expires in 2027 and who recently changed agents to the one who represents Allegri.
