One of the priorities for the AC Milan management in view of the summer transfer window is to sign a new striker, and two names stand out above all.
According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Milan know that there is a need for a player who can give Olivier Giroud a break, given he worked overtime pretty much all season. The name at the top of the list is Marcus Thuram, with Gianluca Scamacca an alternative.
Thuram ticks a lot of boxes because he would be a free transfer, he is still young at 25, he has a good goal scoring record and different qualities to Giroud. However, PSG are also keen and they have a certain economic power the Rossoneri cannot match.
Milan wants to focus on guarantees of more playing time on the pitch to try and convince the Frenchman and in this sense the phone call Stefano Pioli himself allegedly made to the player in recent days could prove to be important.
Then there is Scamacca, a player already pursued a year ago when he was sold by Sassuolo to West Ham. He was a target for Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara before their sacking and he remains on the list, with Divock Origi and Ante Rebic on the way out.
When Pioli calls🔥🔥… You hit decline
Can we not sign both?
I suppose it will come down to whether Thuram wants to play as a RW.
But between him and Kamada we’d then have 2 guys that can play RW. There’d be Salamakera too.
We then get some flexibility to rotate through 9, RW and AM. If we have brains still Daniel Maldini will be the understudy for AM and LW.
No it won’t. It will come down to that he is from Paris, he is friends with Mbappe with who he plays in the French national team and who is the main reason why PSG is going for him. His wish. Also he will be paid more than Leao is at Milan. And Leao was the Serie A MVP and won us the title and still had to wait another year to get the contract. Why would he join Milan, especially after he heard of the ambitions of not signing players over 30M¬ gross. That made him want to join 100%. I hope he does, but about 0.5% chance.
Are u serious???? BOTH???? Hahahahaahha!!! Do you not read brother? We won’t get even one of them mate. What dream land have you been living in lol.
@Bruno not sure Milan are willing to pay the yearly salary for Thuram. At this point Milan should just give Colombo an opportunity this season he cant be any worse that Origi and he would be on double digits come end of the season.
I agree, better than Scammacca.
Yes, the free options are top of the table. Thuram is a great player but Mbappe inviting him to play with him to PSG or Pioli telling him he will warm the bench for Giroud at times does kind of already tell you where will he go. Scammacca, it would be better to return Colombo, Scammacca is a failure but I guess free so we can have another season without a top striker, with pensioner Giroud, forever talent Scammacca and I can’t wait to see who the third option will be. Probably that Serbian kid that we bought because he will be free to fill up the 3rd striker position. This years transfer window has a theme. FREE.
