AC Milan's journey to the Champions League continues as Stefano Pioli's side heads to Tottenham's home ground for the second leg of the round of 16. However, the Rossoneri's focus is not only on European glory. Actually, the club's directors, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have been scouring the domestic and international transfer markets for reinforcements.
One prospect that has caught their eyes is Mateo Retegui, an up-and-coming striker from Tigre with an impressive record of six goals in six matches in the Primera División. According to 'calciomercato.com (and relayed by Pianeta Milan) AC Milan had a scout present at the match between Club Atlético Tigre and Argentinos Juniors in the top Argentine league to keep tabs on Retegui's progress. The 1999-born striker's rights are currently held by Boca Juniors, but AC Milan are considering him as a possible successor to the likes of Giroud and Ibrahimović, both of whom are strong but aging strikers.
While Retegui remains a serious target for the Rossoneri, they are also monitoring the progress of other interesting profiles, such as Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta and Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham. The transfer market is heating up as Milan looks to secure their future, but first, they must take care of business against Tottenham in London.
