AC Milan will focus on the striker's role in the summer transfer market window. The club is prepared to go all out to acquire either Joshua Zirkzee or Benjamin Sesko, but it's also true that they need to contend with competition. Therefore, the club is in a hurry to make a final decision between the two: a decisive move is expected soon, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
Bologna's striker was the first option, pursued from a distance. By paying the 40 million euros release clause, all that is needed is a yes from the Dutchman, which is very likely given the ongoing talks between the parties.
Negotiations are possible, and Bologna cannot do anything about it. The competition from Juventus (who are limited for a major move, with Koopmeiners being a potential target) and Arsenal is not too intimidating, because Zirkzee wants to stay in Italy for now, and Milan is an appealing step for his career.
As for the Slovenian centre-forward, the main concern is the substantial release clause imposed by RB Leipzig. It would take 65 million euros to bring Benjamin Sesko, a striker with 7 goals in the last 7 matches, to Milan.
The obstacle? The renewal offer proposed by the Bundesliga club. As relayed via Milan Press, the Rossoneri club management has moved early to negotiate with the agent, and the 20-year-old talented player is tempted by the Italians' offer. It's just a matter of choosing, but Milan is preparing for a major offensive signing in any case.
