There is a lot of speculation surrounding AC Milan’s potential transfer activity given the obvious gaps in the squad to address, and the centre-forward role in particular is gaining attention.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) writes that Milan will have to sign a top striker either in January or next summer and the top name on the list at the moment is still Jontahan David of Lille.
His contract with the French club expires in June 2025 and he has no intention of renewing, which puts them in a position where they can no longer demand the €50m+ that they were asking for during the last summer mercato.
This aspect will be fundamental in the negotiation, as will that fact that the relations between the two clubs – Milan and Lille – are fantastic after the resolution of the Leao-Sporting CP case through CEO Giorgio Furlani.
David is not the only name on Milan’s list to strengthen the attack next summer though, as the paper states that Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna is also admired. However, the Rossoblu values him highly given that they would have to pay a significant percentage to Bayern Munich in the event of a resale.
Should have been bought from bayern last year. Idk how players like this slip through the milan net when we are “searching ” for talented young players, striker in this case…
But alas he went to bologna for 9M and now they’ll triple that in one year.
O well, we got jovic, right?
Does anyone know why we have such a hard on for David after one good season? He could struggle in our system as the lone 9.
1-Coming from abroad = benificiate from growth decree
2-French League = the obsession of Moncada given he is French
3-Not involving in war of bids du to lack interest of the big clubs
4-1 year left on his contract
5-Finaly not gonna make the leap of Quality, regarding the Cardinale Ambitious
If thins it’s all,
6. – Greta for the North American market
