MN: Milan prioritize signing of new striker
The recent injury of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has forced AC Milan to change transfer plans and prioritize the signing of a new striker.
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has suffered another injury in today’s training session that will keep him out even for longer. At this point the Swedish giant has missed 11 out of 21 official matches due to problems related to Covid and injuries.
Zlatan has been out since 22 November and the recent setback is causing an important change in the Rossoneri’s market strategies. Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara, who were already thinking about the hypothesis of signing another centre forward, now find themselves in the position of having to buy a striker that can be useful not only now but also for the upcoming seasons reports MilanNews.it.
Reflections are being made with great attention, but probably also with a certain speed because Ibrahimovic, in addition to skipping Sassuolo and Lazio, should also remain in front of the TV for the match against Benevento and probably for the one against Juventus.
Therefore, what was previously an idea has now turned into a necessity. Papu Gomez, Giroud, Milik and Mandzukic are some of the names periodically linked with AC Milan but so far there is no favorite on Maldini’s list of targets.
Another priority of Milan in January is the signing of another centre back. The Rossoneri are working both for Simakan of Strasbourg and Schalke 04’s Kabak. The two players have already given their approval to join Milan but this type of purchase is less urgent than that of the striker.
