As Investcorp’s takeover of Milan nears it’s completion, time has come for them to provide Stefano Pioli with a much needed striker.
A flurry of players have been linked with a move to the Rossoneri following the announcement of the Bahraini investment fund’s interest in purchasing the club from Elliott management, but which ones should Milan look to focus on?
1 – Christopher Nkunku
The 24-year-old Frenchman is having his breakout season in Germany with RB Leipzig, scoring 17 goals and providing 15 assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances this campaign. Contracted to the club until 2024, this summer seems like the perfect time to snap up Nkunku.
The French striker would slot in nicely to Pioli’s squad, giving him a much needed reinforcement up front. Nkunku is a creative and decisive player who both produces and finishes chances, the exact player that the Rossoneri are missing.
2 – Sébastien Haller
The 27-year-old Ivorian forward is also proving his chops this campaign, scoring 33 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions, including 11 in eight Champions League games.
Ajax are reportedly willing to accept around €45m for Haller, making a deal relatively accessible considering his quality.
3 – Victor Osimhen
The most expensive on this list, the 23-year-old Nigerian forward has shown that he has what it takes to shine in Serie A, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in 23 league matches this campaign.
Osimhen would not come cheap, however, and Napoli would likely want around €100m for him, making a deal incredibly difficult to imagine, but not impossible.
