Tuttosport: Milan have ‘various options’ for centre-forward role but names are secret

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan intend to sign a forward this summer following the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Marcus Thuram is the No.1 target but the Rossoneri have many options on their list, a report claims. 

After Ibrahimovic’s retirement, and with Giroud not getting any younger, Milan want to sign a centre-forward this summer. Thuram is clearly the priority but it’s not certain that the Rossoneri will convince the Frenchman.

As reported by today’s edition of Tuttosport (via SempreMilan), Milan have ‘various options’ for the centre-forward role. These names, however, remain a secret and it remains to be seen if some of them will leak to the media. Potentially, Noah Okafor and Gianluca Scamacca are among them.

It’s clear that both Giorgio Furlamni and Geoffrey Moncada are working hard to secure the right reinforcements for the team. However, it’s not an easy task with a limited budget and certain demands on the player style.

  1. Tuttosport: Milan’s target names are secret

    Also Tuttosport: Here are 22 articles on Milan’s targets that we definitely, absolutely, didn’t make up

  2. Player: so I’d love to win the Champions League one day, how can you, Pioli and Mr.Moncada describe the process or that experience to me? If I need to take a salary cut to do it, I need to trust that you would know how to accomplish this task. What are your plans?

    Furliani: Well, we will pay our shareholders, our owners, make real estate plays to keep everyone rich with a stadium, our pockets full and your trophy cabinet empty, but you have the pleasure of doing that and get paid less.

    Moncada: Don’t worry, we are going to replace you with a 18 year old for 5 million euros, I am the best scout and you aren’t French so you will love it here until the coach benches you once you make a mistake.

    Pioli: I let Maldini and Ibra coach the team. I am here to lick these suits asses. Make one mistake or two in a game and I will bench you then play you for 6 minutes to save face, I managed to pretend I actually developed players. It wasn’t me.

    Player: I asked about winning the Champions League or at least a Scudetto…How can you describe how we can accomplish both of those goals.

    Maldini calls: Kid run, they are allergic to the term winning, I had players twice as good as you lined up and they fired me for it.

    Player: Yeah let me sign with Roma, they have Mourinho… or Leeds United. They are offering me more garantees of winning at life and being rich one day, Milan is ran by a bunch of clueless, cheap bums.

    1. The dust has settled and i agree with what you are saying about Pioli I must say that Ibrakadabra and Maldini had big influence on the scudetto win and Pioli is almost as lost as Biden is on stage when it comes to young players and tactics.

      Maldinis strong side was finding defenders for obvious reasons, when it comes to attack and midfield he was not so good at it, you can see our squad for reference. (Leao only)

      Lets see how this mercato plays out and what type of reinforcements we get. I dont mind if we get nonames like Thiaw and Kalulu for free or pocket change as long as we get a couple of gems in those positions. If they can perform right away and explode like Thiaw and Kalulu thats a big plus, if we can develope them for the future thats even better as long as we can keep the “stars”.

      Then you have the “second tier” players like Saladmaker, i don’t mind getting these type of players for low fees, develop them and sell them for profit. If this is the strategy then I am for it by all means. As long as we keep our star players to build a good and competitive squad.

      Let bygones be bygones and see what happens, if by the end of next season we have a shitshow at our hands then we can protest like there is no tomorrow!

      I love Maldini and hate the way he got sacked, there is a reason for everything. But we must look ahead and see the positives. Tbh when i heard RBL and Arnautovic I wanted Maldini to be sacked as well even though my heart said otherwise. Now we have a wonderful defence thanks to a legend and its time to look at the other departments.

      Nobody is good at everything and if you can’t accept to work in a group were you can take advantage of each others strength then its time to move on.

      1. How come he is luring maldini hater if he comment : he want maldini sacked after hearing maldini want to sign lord RLC & lord arnautovic .

    2. This is bartolomeo 2.0 . Whoever you are , do you really enjoy luring war between AC Milan fans vs maldini fans ? If you are genious maybe you can buy club and hire maldinj as DS , that would satisfied your love for maldinj

      1. “There is honor in staying with your club through thick and thin but blind support is for kids.”

        Looks like something a 12-year-old would write.

        1. Actually it is not @bb. And you and @ACM1899 didn’t understand what @Zoro Caloro said.

          What @Zoro Caloro is saying is correct – and that is – it’s fine to question the ownership of your club that you supported all of your life when they are not living up to the standards of our history. Just as we were right to criticize Li and even Berlusconi when he stopped spending during the Banter Era – so too it is right to do so now. Blind support is foolish and that is what a child does. Would Real Madrid fans think it was ok if their club all of a sudden stopped chasing titles and said we have a wage cap and can’t spend more than 15M on a player?? LOL. I think not. A wise man questions authority when something isn’t right and isn’t a simple sheep that follows the herd. Apparently @bb and @ACM1899 are sheep LOL.

          1. So… One day I’m a donkey and the next a sheep. Why don’t you make up your mind already and stick with that insult.

            “Blind support is foolish and that is what a child does.”
            And selective support is just glory-hunting.

      2. What you’re describing is a fair-weather fan. If that’s you, then definitely please go support another team. Otherwise support the colors and the badge, through “thick & thin”

  3. Secret = cheap, no competition. Could work out (eg Thiaw, Kalulu) or could be an abject failure (eg Origi)

    Time will tell… moneyball activated 😎
