The market is heating up. Only three weeks remain until the official end of negotiations, and Milan still has the opportunity to make some moves both in terms of incoming and outgoing transfers.
The top priority at the moment is securing a defensive midfielder, with the barrier from Monaco for Youssouf Fofana still to be overcome. However, there is also the possibility of bringing in a backup for Morata, and there are updates regarding potential candidates.
Milan has quickly settled the issue of Olivier Giroud’s replacement: almost a month ago, the acquisition of Alvaro Morata was officially confirmed, and he has only recently joined the team and arrived in Milan after enjoying a post-Euro vacation.
The Spaniard is expected to be the starting striker in Paulo Fonseca’s squad. However, he could be supported by another forward who can serve as his backup, regardless of Luka Jovic’s future. In this regard, as Tuttosport recalls, the Portuguese coach's preferred candidate is Tammy Abraham from Roma, but negotiations have hit a dead end and stalled. Therefore, the name of Armando Broja, who is 22 years old, is gaining traction, especially after it was reported from England that the Albanian has been sidelined: the forward cannot use Chelsea's first-team facilities and is training with the Under-21 squad while waiting for a move. This situation and a contract until 2028 could facilitate a deal with Milan.
