One of the signings that AC Milan simply has to get right during the summer window is that of a centre-forward, and there are a couple of names that stand out.
According to MilanNews, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have been busy recently with meetings and discussions with agents to get a complete overview of the strikers in the European scene that might fall into their parameters.
Sources in Spain have told them that a meeting recently took place for Nicolas Jackson of Villarreal. The 21-year-old Senegalese striker – who has a contract expiring in 2026 – can play more than one role in the attacking department.
There are also Premier League clubs on Jackson’s trail, which is perhaps to be expected after a season in which he scored 12 goals and added 5 assists in 37 games across all competitions.
Milan are evaluating and observing his situation, as well as for other strikers who have been linked in recent days, above all Lois Openda of RC Lens who has had a ‘super season’ in France.
Marko Arnautovic is a name that cannot be discarded, as Maldini and Massara think he could be useful to cover the possible departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Arnau và Jackson.
This would be great news.

neither parvard or loftus would come for free as their contracts are set to expire in 2024 and chelsea actually has an option to renew with 1 year even though that would seem unlikely to happen it could nevertheless affect his price,

What’s the scouting report on William Clem and Rooney Bardghji.
Rumor has it Milan is interested in those 2 Copenhagen players.
I wasnt aware of those rumors so had to do a bit of researching here 😀
from what i can see it seems the rumours in regard of Clem goes back to january but as Clem renewed his contract later on in january untill 2027 it seems a bit unlikely from my point of view as he can propably have a good chance to develope further there and has only recently gotten his debut with them but who knows if milan presents them a fairly good offer (danish fees 😀 ) the club and player might accept but copenhagen has just won the league and will play for cl next season.
Personally as he is 18 and just fairly recently started to play first team football and has a slim chance of playing regularly for ac milans first team from my perspective id suggest him to stay there for the time being but could be a good prospect.
Bardghji is 17 so my guess is he would join for the primavera but great talent and he already got his debut last season but could turn out as a new Schjelderup in developement but on the right wing compared to the norwegian who joined benfica in january 2023 just after he had turned 18 for 9 mil.
Either talent could turn out as good players and propably wont cost much more than lazetic but as they already plays now i n a fairly decent league i think they are propably both of them better off staying there for a year or two more but they could also be valuable aquisitions for the future.
fc copenhagen,nordsjælland, midtjylland and brøndby are generally good places to scout for young danish, scandinavian talents.
The danish club OB actually acquirred the former juventus talent Franco Tongya aged 21 who was sold to marseille in 2021 for 8 mil on a free last summer so it seems a lot of players releaize the danish league is a good place to develope.
Pavard would be great news.

Zanioli is a €15 player at best. Pavard and RLC are cripples. Your mercato is awful, sorry.
your face is awful, sorry.
Just what I was thinking. Cheek… El shaawary… Zaniolo… the mercato of my nightmares.
and here i thought berradi was your ultimate nightmare 😀
€15 million & SMS is too expensive at €40 million.
You are correct – RLC is now at 20M.
and Pavard (15-20M)
Well i guess milan should sign arnautovic + rasmus hojlund.
