Milan have laid eyes on Armando Broja and Hugo Ekitiké to add more variety to their frontline, but neither is easy to sign. Chelsea and PSG don’t want their youngsters to depart with the formula the Rossoneri are pursuing, a loan with an option to buy, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
The Blues rejected the opening inquiry from the Serie A giants. They have yet to decide what to do with the Albanian center-forward. The call on his future is on hold. It may hinge on what they accomplish in the final weeks of the transfer window.
After being temporarily rebuffed for Broja, Milan encountered a similar problem concerning Ekitiké. In this case, PSG don’t want the prodigy to depart on loan. If they were to part ways with him, they’d do it only permanently.
However, for that to happen, the suitors would have to shell out €30M since they just bought the starlet from Reims for €28.5M. Everton are also keen on the 21-year-old.
Our Take on Milan, Broja, and Ekitiké
The Rossoneri are in a tough spot as it’s hard to find decent youngsters for cheap. While Noah Okafor was a bargain given the fee, they should have thought twice about onboarding him if he’s not suitable to deputize Olivier Giroud.
