Despite having one of the busiest summers in Italy, Milan could land as many as three new players down the final stretch. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a new midfielder and Olivier Giroud’s deputy may follow the impending arrival of Marco Pellegrino.
After agreeing on a deal in principle with Platense for the 21-year-old defender, Milan will turn to a sustainable center-forward alternative to Giroud. Fiorentina’s Luka Jovic isn’t an exciting prospect for Geoffrey Moncada, even though the player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, tried to broker a switch.
However, Bayer Leverkusen’s Sardar Azmoun seems to be a profile carefully examined by the Milan chief executive. The 28-year-old failed to find his feet in the Bundesliga after departing Zenit St Petersburg in January 2022. He is open to leaving the BayArena and could be available on a cut-price deal.
Perhaps shockingly, Milan may pull off another acquisition in the middle of the park. It’s like Stefano Pioli isn’t satisfied with the arrivals of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, and Yunus Musah. But it’s more likely he’ll pursue another midfielder only if Rade Krunic was to leave San Siro.
If he does, Bologna’s Nicolas Dominguez will be a prime suspect to form the last piece of the puzzle. Milan will play Thiago Motta’s side in their opening 2023/24 Serie A fixture on Monday. They could use the opportunity to discuss the Argentine’s future, though there’s no doubt I Rossoblu would prefer to keep hold of their No 8.
