Milan’s striker dilemma as Origi prepares for medical

Divock Origi will undergo his Milan medical in the coming days and the Rossoneri may not sign a new centre-forward this summer.

The Belgium international will bolster Stefano Pioli’s option in attack and will battle Olivier Giroud for a starting spot in the first part of the season when Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be recovering from a knee injury.

The Swede will continue playing at least until 2023 and is expected to sign a new contract soon.

Although La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Rossoneri have also targeted Gianluca Scamacca in attack, Il Corriere della Sera and Sky Sport Italia maintain that Milan will not sign a new centre-forward in the summer unless Ante Rebic leaves.

The Croatia international is seen as their third option in attack or a backup for Rafael Leao on the left flank.

Andrea Belotti had been linked with a move to Milan, but the Italy international doesn’t seem to be a priority for the Serie A champions, who want to sign a new centre-back, a right-winger, a centre midfielder and an attacking midfielder after securing Origi’s services.
