Radio Kiss Kiss: Milan and Napoli competing for Atlanta United sensation

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan have been credited with interest in signing Atlanta United forward Thiago Almada along with Napoli ahead of the summer window.

As reported by the Naples-based Radio Kiss Kiss (via PianetaMilan), Napoli are keen on signing Almada who became a world champion during the winter with Argentina in Qatar, but they face competition from Milan.

The Rossoneri management have also begun negotiations to try and get some information which means we could see a new duel between Napoli and Milan, this time in the transfer market.

Olivier Giroud has officially renewed his contract for another season, but he is the only guarantee of the attacking department and he will turn 37 this year. Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to suffer with injuries while Divock Origi cannot hit his stride.

For this reason, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are expected work on freshening up the forward department during the summer transfer market.

The 21-year-old has played 37 times for Atlanta in the MLS, amassing 11 goals and 12 assists. He joined them from Velez Sarsfield in Argentina, where he had 24 goals and 10 assists in 100 games.

  1. Almada is great as a RW option as well. He is also of Italian nationality so he will not count to our foreign limit. Please make this happen M&M.

  2. Almada, Mason Greenwood and Hoijlund next summer especially if Real Madrid don’t give us Diaz. Regardless if Diaz stay or go Milan need Almada.

    Then we can gamble on letting CDK go in exchange for Hoijlund.

    1. That would be perfect! I’d also add Dominik Szobozlai in case Brahim leaves for Real Madrid. He would be a perfect fit for Milan’s style of play. Mason Greenwood & Almada would allow for great versatility in our attack too. Højlund would be adream in attack, but I am not sure if we can compete with every other club who is after him, unless we offer CDK in return…
