Report: Out Bacca and Kalinic to fund Dzeko
At the end of the season AC Milan will search for a new striker able to guarantee a considerable number of goals. A new purchase that will be funded by the sale of Bacca and Kalinic.
According to many news regarding AC Milan’s transfer market plans, at the end of the season the departure of Kalinic from Milanello is considered highly probable. If the performance of the former Fiorentina does not undergo a radical change, his stay will be complicated. Tuttosport writes that the 30 year old Croatian, paid 25 million euros last summer, could leave for 20 million. He has fans in China and Germany. Wolfsburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim among the interested clubs.
The sale of Kalinic, together with that of Carlos Bacca, can help Milan to finance the purchase of a new bomber. Tuttosport writes that the main target in attack will be Edin Dzeko. The Bosnian is 32 year old and Roma can be more than satisfied with 25 million to let him go in the summer. He was about to leave already in January, when Chelsea offered 30 million but less will be needed at the end of the season.
A signing that can be self-financed if the sales of Kalinic and Bacca are completed. As for the Colombian, AC Milan has already grossed 2.5 million from Villarreal for his loan. The Spanish club at the end of the season can make the move permanent by paying 15.5 million in addition. Considering the good performance of Carlos (11 goals in 29 games) Villarreal can be more than pleased with his services.
