Strikers are under scrutiny as Atalanta arrives at San Siro with two highly coveted players who will undoubtedly be closely monitored. It's hard to believe that Ademola Lookman arrived quietly during the last summer transfer window, given how he's impressed everyone, easily surpassing double digits in goals. On Sunday, he'll be one to watch for the entire game. Meanwhile, the spotlight will also be on Hojlund: the 2003-born striker has exploded onto the scene in recent games. Now everyone wants him, and Atalanta is rejoicing. Hojlund is highly sought after by all the big clubs in European football. In Italy, he has become the dream of many. AC Milan fans would love to have him and see him don the number nine jersey, a privilege that Olivier Giroud cannot hold forever.
Acquiring Hojlund will require Milan to make a significant investment upfront, but it could be worth it. However, Atalanta is likely to demand a high figure of no less than 50 million euros. It's a hefty price tag for a 20-year-old striker who has scored only six goals in Serie A so far, but his future is bright. Napoli has realized this and is ready to buy him in case Osimhen departs. Juventus could also be interested, but recent rumors link him to Real Madrid.
Milan needs to act fast if they want to acquire Hojlund, or it could become increasingly complicated. The alternative could be to focus on Ademola Lookman instead. The Nigerian-born attacker, born in London, has had an impressive start to the season. In 24 games played in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, he has scored an impressive fourteen goals and made five assists. These are significant numbers for a forward who likes to move behind the striker and look for space on the wings. Lookman could be an excellent fit for Pioli, who is struggling to find alternatives players to the regular starters especially in attack.
