Milan are reportedly looking for a new striker in the January transfer window as Olivier Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have suffered too many injuries this season.
Both strikers have missed nine games out of 25, while the young Pietro Pellegri sustained an injury on his first game as a starter.
Therefore, Milan are on the lookout for a new striker in the January transfer window.
Il Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport report that the Diavoli are monitoring Udinese star Beto and Atalanta‘s forward Luis Muriel.
Beto has scored seven goals in 16 Serie A appearances, but Udinese signed him on loan with a €10m option to buy from Portimonense in the summer and are unlikely to sell him in January.
On the other hand, Muriel could leave Atalanta after the arrival of Jeremie Boga, who will undergo his medical with La Dea today.
Pisa striker Lorenzo Lucca is also being linked with Milan and the Tuscans’ president has confirmed the club’s interest in the promising striker.
“We’ve received many solicitations for Lorenzo,” Giuseppe Corrado told Radio anch’Io lo Sport, as quoted by Calciomercato.com.
“Milan and some foreign clubs are interested in him. We can talk about it in June. Lucca is a strong striker with room for improvement.”
The 21-year-old has scored six goals in 16 Serie B appearances this term.

Giroud and Ibra have missed lots of games.
Wow. Couldn’t have seen that happening. What a shocker.
Maybe there’s a reason that no other clubs sign the over 35s?
Agree totally with Vogel comment
Ibra might be good at team moral but what we need is a consistent player , goalscorer which he’s not so get rid do not extend his contract
and for Giroud the less said the better having one overaged player in attack is bad enough to gave two is insane
Well well. And nobody blames the people who work with the players at Milanello? They are one to blame! If you have so many injured players, you should look somewhere else than the age of players. Anyway Ac needs younger players like Scamacca for example. Beto might be a good too.
Unless you’re a freak of nature like Ronaldo who seems not to be affected by age considering how manages to stay fit then any other player will struggle to even get game time. Both Giroud and Ibra were known for their injuries and it was part of the reason their clubs had to let them go but for Milan they actually build the entire team around those and hope they can get any kind of consistency. They’ll struggle to make top 4 come the end of the season like last time.
