Milan Transfer Market: The Rossoneri are reportedly looking for a new striker for the upcoming season, after the winter deal for Mateta from Crystal Palace fell through due to the French forward’s knee problems. Robert Lewandowski is also reportedly on Milan’s list; the Polish striker remains under contract with Barcelona but is approaching the end of his deal. Here are the latest details about the former Bayern Munich striker.
Mundo Deportivo reported the latest news on Lewandowski’s possible future: he is carefully considering his options and is unlikely to make a decision before April, after Barcelona’s presidential elections on March 15. Lewandowski is expected to weigh a potential contract renewal alongside other opportunities. The Polish forward has reportedly received five offers to leave Spain, including one from Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer. Milan, Atlético Madrid, Fenerbahçe, and Saudi clubs are also said to be interested. According to Mundo Deportivo, however, Lewandowski is expected to prioritize staying at Barcelona.
What are Lewandowski's numbers this season with FC Barcelona?
The 37-year-old Polish centre-forward, who still has the trust of FC Barcelona’s German head coach Hansi Flick, has made 29 appearances so far this season between La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa, and the UEFA Champions League. He scored 13 goals while providing 3 assists to his teammates. On the pitch, he clocked more than 1500 minutes. It remains to be seen what his future will look like after June 2026.
By the way, As AC Milan directors igli Tare, with the help of Geoffrey Moncada, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and CEO Giorgio Furlani, navigate the transfer market options for the coming summer, it’s worth noting how digital stars, and even football clubs like the Rossoneri, build their influence. In fact, that is something modern football clubs increasingly care about when signing players (like the work done on social media when Milan signed the world class stars Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot recently). What makes someone tune in, not just for the big moments, but week after week? Charisma, relatability, and genuine interaction. Those are the secret ingredients behind digital stars like DiceGirl and also Tom Horn Gaming. For clubs, a player who engages fans consistently, both on and off the pitch, can be just as valuable as their on-field performance. That is why a 37-year-old Lewandowski can be a very valuable asset for AC Milan and even Serie A as a league.
Meanwhile, Milan are also planning to strengthen their midfield in the summer.
A key player on the radar is reportedly Weston McKennie who currently plies his contract with the Serie A rivals Juventus.
He is currently on a contract with the Bianconeri and it is worth 2.5 million euros per year, running until June 2026. According to what has been reported by those at Calcio Mercato, however, the ‘Old Lady’ is looking to offer him a three-year extension with a 4 million euros annual salary to keep him. The midfielder is attracting interest from many parties, including other Serie A giants besides the AC Milan club.
As per the latest reported rumors, it seems that AC Milan are interested in McKennie. But, one more name in the Rossoneri’s midfield plans is Leon Goretzka, whose contract with Bayern Munich is also expiring. Attention should also be paid to the American midfielder: in recent days, there have been informal contacts to explore the situation further. Two potential factors could favor Milan: Christian Pulisic’s friendship with McKennie and Massimiliano Allegri’s presence on the bench. The latest piece of news notes that the Rossoneri could soon evaluate whether to make a contract offer for McKennie, who is also wanted by Roma and Inter.
