Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the AC Milan and RedBird advisor, could have influence in the upcoming summer transfer window as his input will be highly important, especially when the club will be looking for new strikers, since the Swede knows a thing or two about scoring goals.
In particular, there are rumors circulating about the striker who will arrive at Milanello in the 2024-2025 season to replace Olivier Giroud who is very close to starting a new adventure in the MLS with LA FC.
Milan may need to acquire two strikers in the summer 2024 transfer window. One could be 'low cost'. The other, however, will be a heavy investment, worth 40-50 million euros, and Ibrahimovic, the former striker with 511 goals in 866 club matches and 62 goals in 122 matches with his national team, should have his say.
The Rossoneri management is interested in Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna), Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig), Jonathan David (Lille), Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord), and Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon).
PianetaMilan.it, though, explain that to inherit Giroud's position, Milan's number one target is Joshua Zirkzee, born in 2001, the Dutch center-forward from Bologna. If Milan fails to acquire Zirkzee in the upcoming summer transfer window, they would turn to Benjamin Šeško and Jonathan David, in that order. The former, born in 2003, is Slovenian from RB Leipzig, having scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists in 34 matches; the latter, born in 2000, is Canadian from Lille, having scored 22 goals and provided 7 assists in 37 matches.
Besides that, one of the names that is currently being mentioned for Milan in this period is 25-year-old Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres. There are many teams interested in the footballer.
According to fichajes.net, Ibrahimovic's involvement would further increase Gyokeres' appeal to Milan, potentially thwarting PSG's plans. The French club has reportedly targeted the attacker to replace the departing Mbappé. We'll see if Milan can succeed in a transfer market negotiation that currently seems very complex.
