As Tuttosport writes this morning (via MilanNews), Marcus Thuram is close to joining Milan after he rejected PSG, who offered better economic terms but then hesitated too much and didn’t give enough certainties regarding his role during their pitch.
Milan remain in pole position and are offering the striker €6m net per season, which would make him the highest paid member of the squad along with Rafael Leao.
The definitive green light is awaited and at that point the Rossoneri will be able to say that they have completed their centre-forward department with Olivier Giroud and Lorenzo Colombo.
Meanwhile, the right wing also needs some attention. Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic are the favoured targets, but Villarreal have set a high asking price for the former who would also take up a non-EU spot.
The other names being considered are Ismaila Sarr of Watford, Reiss Nelson of Arsenal and Jeremy Doku of Stade Rennais. Meanwhile, the track that leads to Luka Romero also remains very much alive.
Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias could both leave Milanello if two players arrive. Arda Guler is somewhat outside of these discussions though, because even though his €17.5m clause is not a problem, the demand for commissions and the competition very much is.
