On the market, management is awaiting news on Joshua Zirkzee. The deal is advanced, Milan is in the lead, but the final step regarding commissions is still missing, as per Milan News. There's a feeling that Kia Joorabchian is pushing for higher stakes and hopes for other teams (especially Manchester United) to get involved to maximise the earnings.
Additionally, Zirkzee's call-up to the Euros significantly slowed down negotiations. However, Milan is persistent and wants to sign Zirkzee. The primary alternative is Artem Dovbyk, a Ukrainian talent from Girona. He is 27 years old and has scored 25 goals plus 10 assists in the 2023-2024 season.
As for the midfield department, however, the new name is André Trindade from Fluminense. He is a Brazilian defensive midfielder who is 22 years of age. Youssouf Fofana and Mats Wieffer are important targets, but cost could be a hurdle. There's also Pierre-Emil Højbjerg potentially leaving Tottenham as a midfield reinforcement.
