Only few days remain until the end of the transfer window for this summer. But, there is still work on the agenda of the AC Milan management, especially on the front of signing a new striker. La Gazzetta dello Sport, in this morning's print edition, spoke that the French centre-forward Olivier Giroud will turn 37 next month. He needs to be managed wisely in order to stay in form.
It is true that the former Arsenal and Chelsea man has scored three goals and is the top scorer of the Serie A currently. But, he will soon need rest. At the moments, Noah Okafor and Lorenzo Colombo are the alternatives, who are not reliable yet for different reasons.
For this reason, the AC Milan club management continue to monitor the situation of 31-year-old player of Porto Mehdi Taremi. From the Rossoneri side, perhaps a few exits like those of Alexis Saelemaekers, Fodé Ballo-Touré or Divock Origi can make room for the arrival of the striker who is deemed highly by Porto.
The Portuguese club's demands initially wanted around 20 to 25 million euros with their coach Conceiçao holding very tightly to his star. AC Milan, though, do not plan on exceeding the 15 million euros limit in this transfer negotiation.
Today, a meeting between Porto and Taremi's entourage could open new horizons for the negotiation. In the background, Hugo Ekitike remains an option, although the operation is more challenging: West Ham seems to be the team closest to meeting PSG's demands, even though the young player would like to wear the Rossoneri jersey.
