It has been an interesting summer for Milan so far, with them getting two big targets through the door already. However, it seems unlikely that they will finish there, potentially even in the forward markets.
Goncalo Ramos is a fantastic starting option, but questions can be asked of Francesco Camarda and Andrej Kostic and whether they’re ready to start. So, adding another option may be in their best interest for the club, and even the youngsters themselves.
Pellegatti requests striker back-up
In an editorial for MilanNews, Pellegatti claimed that the Diavolo would do well to add another striker to their team this summer and he listed a few options.
“A central striker alternative to Gonçalo Ramos, who gets married on July 25th, in addition to the young Kostić, with Camarda already being sought by Corradi’s Sampdoria, who knows him well, absolutely must be found. If there are good deals, financially speaking, I would go, without hesitation, for Keinan Davis, 28, English, currently at Udinese.
“He’s a striker with great strength and physicality, with a sustainable price tag. Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was already close to joining AC Milan last January, could also come back into fashion.”
Both moves would offer positives, but you’ve got to question if spending around €30 million on a back-up striker would be a wise idea. We shall have to see, certainly.
