Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis stated that Milan would be able to spend more in the transfer market if they raised their revenue, which is happening thanks to the Champions League. The Rossoneri won’t routinely splurge, but they will continue to shore up their squad with select pricey additions like Charles De Ketelaere.
As per Calciomercato, the priorities will be to sign a pure no.9 and raise the wages bill. That will accommodate the extensions of Rafael Leao, Ismael Bennacer, and Pierre Kalulu in the club’s ideal plans.
Despite the ownership change from Elliott to RedBird Capital, the Milan MO on the transfer market won’t change much. They will target primarily young players that can grow under their tutelage. They have already had some contacts for Armando Broja, who extended his contract with Chelsea but wishes to play more. His price tag would be around €35M.
Another name high on the Rossoneri’s shortlist is RB Salzburg Noah Okafor. He scored against them in Champions League, and his contract runs out in 2024. Leeds United are pursuing him as well. Lille’s Jonathan David is a possible objective too. However, the competition is fierce, and his price tag is particularly high. They have completed multiple deals with Lille in recent years.
Our Take on Milan Seeking a Striker in the Transfer Market
It would be a wise move as Olivier Giroud is 36 and, if he stays past his expiring contract, he’ll probably transition to more of a super-sub role. Divock Origi is talented and flashy but can’t be trusted as a top option. Given the characteristics of their frontline, they should probably go for a physical marksman rather than a modern and mobile one.
