A new transfer target has emerged for the Milan attack, as Sky Sport Italia claim they are ready to challenge West Ham for Aston Villa and Colombia striker Jhon Duran.
It is no secret that the Rossoneri have agreed terms with Alvaro Morata, who has a release clause with Atletico Madrid set at €12m and will have his medical in Madrid on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, they are searching for another forward to help reinforce their options, linked with names including Tammy Abraham of Roma and Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Fullkrug.
Duran on the radar for Milan
Now Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Manuel Baiocchini claims that a new name is on the horizon, with an approach for Duran.
He certainly fits the bill, as he is only 20 years old and currently preparing for the Copa America Final this evening when Colombia take on Argentina.
Aston Villa only signed Duran from the Chicago Fire in January 2023 for €16.65m and he has scored eight goals in 49 competitive games, but most of them were off the bench.
West Ham United have been heavily linked, but baulked at the €40m asking price, something that Milan would probably refuse to pay.
AC Milan = a microcosm of the decline of the Nazionale with 0 Italian players signed.
What a disgrace!
Totally agree Vittorio, there’s nothing Italian about AC Milan.
@Vittorio – because the Italians from the other six sisters shined so brightly at the EURO’s? Don’t be ridiculous.
Yes, it’s a shame for AC Milan, they don’t have an Italian national player. They want to sign foreign players, although young players from Italy U17 or u20 have won the European Championship. Instead of promoting Camarda more, where the whole of Europe is from or to get a Casadei, at Calafiori or Buongiorno, Milan did not recognise the talent and slept. Milan makes itself
@ACM = it’s ridiculous that you don’t see the ACTUAL problem at hand.
I would love more Italians playing for Milan, but the talent pool haven’t exactly been strong recently and the ones who are good enough to play at a young age are overpriced, at least compared to the foreign talents. Barella moved to Inter for like 50m, Tonali for like 35m if I remember correctly. Calafiori apparently will cost more than 50m. Buongiorno more than 35m.
Milan don’t have that kind of money, or maybe I should say won’t spend that kind of money on a single player. The Americans will spend like 20m maximum on any given player, and there are no Italians worthy of Milan’s first 11 for that price. We’re raising our own though, so wait a few seasons for the guys in Milan Futuro to come through.
@vittorio I totally agree with you. And I’m a lifelong milanista. The yanks & Ibra absolutely are clueless in running Milan.
