AC Milan are firmly in the market for a new striker this summer but the Rossoneri are keen to ensure they keep their options as open as possible before the window opens.
As has been highlighted by Milan News, Milan simply have to sign at least one striker this season given it seems that Olivier Giroud will be leaving the club this summer on a free transfer.
The favourite target still seems to be Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, but there is still a chance that he will prove too expensive, and there is a lot of competition for him.
That one case study explains why Milan are keeping their options open. If they spend all of their time scouting Zirkzee and working on a deal, only to not get him, they are at square one for other players.
There are thought to be around 10 players that Milan are looking at as the new striker, with the biggest names being Zirkzee, Benjamin Sesko at RB Leipzig, Serhou Guirassy at Stuttgart, Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting and Jonathan David from Lille.
The club is ensuring that they have multiple different plans of action so they can react to setbacks when the window finally opens.
