After missing out on Kaio Jorge, AC Milan reportedly no longer consider it a priority to sign a third striker this summer.
According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, Juventus have completed an agreement to sign Kaio Jorge from Santos this summer and it will be made official this week. The structure of the deal is as follows: €1.5m will go to Santos now, €1.5m in bonuses will be due in 2022 (linked to Champions League qualification), a further €1m in appearance bonuses and a contract until 2026. Santos will also have priority in the event they choose to loan him out.
Therefore, the Brazilian will not be the third striker for Milan, so there has been suggestions an alternative target is being lined up. The names of Randal Kolo Muani (FC Nantes) and Janis Antiste (Toulouse) have been mentioned, but Carlo Pellegatti does not believe a third centre-forward is a priority.
On his YouTube channel (via MilanLive), Milan should continue playing with a system that has only one striker, and Olivier Giroud’s hunger seems to have made Milan change its mind on needing another body. There are other issues that need tackling more, such as a deputy right-back, a central midfielder, a playmaker and even a right winger.

Stupidity being made this time for not prensenting third young striker, thus they believe in Leao.
Milan needs to get rid of Leao ASAP.
I wonder what these guys smoke.
What a thrashy report
hmmm!!! they betting on Leao.
If no 3rd striker is coming, then its stupid to sell Hauge.
They trading the mercato like we not playing in any international competition, or am I missing something here?
All I know is we need to bring in Ilicic, Isco, and Dalot.
No selling of any1 else.
Good decision by the player to reject move to milan..knowing pioli will screw up his career as he did with jens

It is stupid to lose out ob a 4 mil operation especially after being able to offer CL and more opportunities than juve
