Who will be Santiago Gimenez’s partner in the striker department at Milan for the 2025/26 season? This is one of the topics on the table at Casa Milan and Milanello, where Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri are holding discussions. Today’s edition of Tuttosport talks about it, citing statements from the Albanian director, who had pointed to a “Giroud-type” profile as ideal to complete the department.
Mateo Retegui is a player who is highly appreciated, but Atalanta’s rejection of Al-Qadsiah’s €53 million offer and their demand of €60 million makes the pursuit of the Italian national team striker an impossible track. Similarly difficult is the one for Moise Kean, valued at €52 million due to his release clause. Among the profiles being monitored are Victor Boniface (€40–45 million), Nicolas Jackson (more than €50 million), Jean-Philippe Mateta (€35 million), Rasmus Hojlund, and Aleksandar Mitrovic. In the background remains Dusan Vlahovic, who in August could become an opportunity if the right situation arises.
The real question posed by the newspaper is: how much will Milan be able to invest for the number 9? The answer must come from the Rossoneri management.
