The Milan market has yet to start in the practical sense of purchases but the ideas have been clear for some time. There is no shortage of movements even if now is the time to definitively accelerate on all fronts. Let’s start with Zirkzee. The Rossoneri have always had him as their first target in attack but the assault to close the deal has stalled on commissions and also on the Dutch striker’s decision to wait until the end of the European adventure. This is how Milan has started to keep other leads hot. Dovbyk is one of these, even if Girona would like to cash in on the value of the 40 million euro termination clause, which is also the same as Zirkzee’s. Another name to always keep in mind is Lukaku, who remains on the way out of Chelsea. But not just him. The Rossoneri club is also evaluating Abraham among others, who Roma can sell if faced with an adequate offer. And so various paths are kept open while waiting to understand which is the right one to follow. Without forgetting that Zirkzee for a thousand reasons remains the first choice and as long as there is even a chance, Milan will try to take him. However, the club intends to strengthen the midfield and here the option that more than any other should be kept in mind is that of Fofana. The Frenchman, busy at Euro 2024, is highly sought after but Milan has received the approval of the player. The problem at the moment remains the request of Monaco, which wants 25 million euros.
The Rossoneri do not intend to go beyond 18 perhaps including bonuses due to only one year left on the contract.
The axis between Milan and Chelsea, which has led to several deals in recent years, also remains hot on the front of Chukwuemeka, another midfielder, born in 2003, who is very popular. The Rossoneri management is trying to convince Chelsea, who however are not interested in a loan with rights. And so the discussion could only develop in the face of the hypothesis of conditional obligation. Milan also made a survey for Rabiot.
After the arrival of Douglas Luiz, Juventus is focusing on another important operation. Yes, because the goal is to strengthen the team in every department. And the efforts of sporting director Giuntoli are now focused in the middle of the pitch where
Khéphren Thuram approaches. This could be the decisive week to find an agreement with Nice on the basis of 17-18 million euros. The player’s agent is working so that an agreement can be reached between the parties. A coup that Juventus has decided to make regardless of whether Rabiot is renewed or not. The Juventus club, however, remains in the waiting phase on the Koopmeiners and Calafiori front, two additions that the Bianconeri would like to make but not at the figures currently requested by Atalanta and Bologna. For the central defender, it must also be taken into account that Basel obtained 40% of the future resale in the transfer agreement. Finally, the announcement of the purchase of Di Gregorio from Monza who will take the place of the departing Szczęsny will also arrive shortly.
