Marcus Thuram was AC Milan's top target for the striker's position. But, Inter were able to sign him eventually. Now, the Rossoneri management are scouring the market for a reliable centre-forward who can reinforce the team and support Olivier Giroud up front.
According to the latest news from the Italian Turin-based newspaper, Tuttosport, in this morning's print edition, German centre-forward Timo Werner has emerged on the club's radar as a possible candidate to bolster the squad of head coach Stefano Pioli this summer.
The former Chelsea player is 27 years old. He is right-footed and has a contract until June 2026. After his experience with the Blues in the Premier League, he returned to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga where he scored 16 goals and 6 assists last season after 40 appearances in total. The Champions League winner (in 2020-2021) is an interesting option for the AC Milan management.
