In this period between the end of the season and the start of the transfer market, it was known that Milan would work towards two main objectives: the first being a new coach to succeed Stefano Pioli on the Rossoneri bench; the second being a new center forward to collect Olivier Giroud's legacy. These are the main subjects of the piece published this morning in Corriere della Sera, which aims to clarify Milan's summer plans.
The general newspaper headlined this morning:
"Waiting for Fonseca, Milan pushes for Zirkzee."
On one side, there is Paulo Fonseca, who has officially bid farewell by Lille yesterday, and thus is getting closer to Milanello: the official announcement is expected next week. However, the new coach will need a new centre-forward to build his fortunes upon: in this regard, the Rossoneri will push hard for Bologna's Zirkzee. The intention is to pay the 40 million euros release clause: in recent days in London, the Rossoneri management met with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian. His commission demands are high, but the Rossoneri’s pressure is also strong, and they are counting on the Dutchman's desire.
