AC Milan is taking a calculated approach in their pursuit of new strikers this summer. The club has identified Rasmus Hojlund and Dusan Vlahovic as prime targets to bolster their attacking options, but they are in no rush to complete a deal. Instead, Milan is prepared to wait until the end of the transfer window, believing this strategy could work in their favor.
Currently, Santiago Gimenez stands as the sole senior center-forward in Milan`s squad. While the club has been active in the transfer market, bringing in players like Ardon Jashari, Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci, Pervis Estupinan, Pietro Terracciano, and soon Zachary Athekame, they are still looking to add firepower up front.
Milan`s patience in the striker market is strategic. The club believes that as the transfer window progresses, other teams may become more eager to offload players, potentially leading to more favorable deals. This seems particularly relevant for both Vlahovic and Hojlund, who appear to be surplus to requirements at their current clubs.
At Manchester United, Hojlund`s position could become precarious if the club successfully signs Benjamin Sesko. This situation could allow Milan to negotiate a lower fee for the Danish striker. Similarly, Juventus might be more willing to part with Vlahovic, especially considering his high salary, if they manage to bring in Randal Kolo Muani to complement their recent acquisition of Jonathan David.
By adopting this wait-and-see approach, Milan aims to strengthen their squad while also securing the best possible financial deals. The club`s strategy reflects a broader trend in modern football, where patience and timing in the transfer market can often lead to significant advantages.
