Around €50 million has been allocated to the striker position by the Milan management this summer. The reasoning? Simply that the Rossoneri need quality to contest Santiago Gimenez, Massimiliano Allegri demands as much.
A number of different names have been listed as a target, but it seems the leading options now are Aleksandar Mitrovic and Mateo Retegui, whilst Dusan Vlahovic also lingers. All are of the mould of the Olivier Giroud-type of striker, whilst Lucca is slightly different.
‘A lot of interest in him’
Movement, if it is to happen, will need to be done by Milan shortly, with Franco Collavino, an Udinese director, stating that things may happen in the next few days. Today, he spoke to Sky Sport, as relayed by MilanNews, about the situation of the striker and his future with interest present.
“We are talking about a great talent, an Italian player who had an important season in his first year in Serie A. Lucca scored double figures with us, and he is also one of the regular players called up by the National team, which takes him into consideration regardless of one technical commissioner or another.
“Lorenzo can provide certainties for the present and has great prospects for the future. It is normal that there is a lot of interest in him in Italy and abroad. At the moment, some are more concrete than others, and we will see in the next few days what can happen.”
