Milan are on the homestretch of the acquisition of Alvaro Morata but aim to acquire another striker and are staying in contact with Niclas Fullkrug. The Rossoneri brass had another call with his agents on Monday, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
The veteran is evaluating his future. The arrival of Serhou Guirassy would severely impact his playing time. The transfer of the Stuttgart star has been delayed by an injury discovered during the medicals but will go through anyway.
Milan will further their Fullkrug chase after sealing the deal for Morata. Their management is in Madrid to pay his release clause. The Spaniard will take the medicals on Wednesday or Thursday before going on vacation.
The 31-year-old has been filling his boots in the Bundesliga for years and tallied 15 goals and 10 assists in his first campaign with Borussia Dortmund. He was signed for €17M.
The Rossoneri could decide to keep three center-forwards and use two simultaneously more often. However, the future of Luka Jovic could be in jeopardy even though the team picked up their option to extend his contract, Calciomercato informs.
Our Take on Milan, Fullkrug, and Morata
Another reliable man wouldn’t hurt in a grueling season. He too is a high-character guy who always provides his contribution. On the other hand, he’d probably be more expensive and more challenging to sign than the Atleti man, who has a release clause. The juice might not be worth the squeeze given his age. After playing it safe with their first addition up front, they should take a shot on a talent.
