Milan Probe Loan Move for Struggling West Ham Striker

Milan will focus their resources on finding a new center-forward in the summer. They have inquired about some veterans, but the ideal solution would be a youngster that would initially alternate with Olivier Giroud and eventually take over in the future.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri inquired about Gianluca Scamacca. He didn’t have a great maiden season in Premier League amid some injury woes. West Ham outbid the Italian sides with a €40M fee last year.

The London outfit plot to sign a new marksman and could loan out the ex-Sassuolo start to restore his value. Milan would be open to such formula, although they would demand an affordable option to buy. First of all, the Serie A giants will want to learn more about his health. He recently underwent surgery for a knee injury, and he’s expected to miss three months. The operation should solve lingering problems that limited him to 27 appearances and 8 goals in the 2022/2023 campaign.

The Rossoneri continue to keep tabs on Alvaro Morata, Noah Okafor, and Marko Arnautovic. A lot will hinge on their budget, which depends on their Champions League qualification. Roberto Firmino has been proposed to them by his agents, Corriere della Sera relays (via Tuttomercatoweb).

Our Take on the Milan Search for a New Striker

The strategy is correct, but it looks like everything will come down to money and price tags, so there’s a long way to go. They are probably scarred by what happened with Charles De Ketelaere, so an investment of that size is unlikely. They struck oil with loans with options to buy in the past, but they’d have to find a team willing to allow such formula.
