It’s been said in every possible way: this summer, Milan must get the striker right. Having a centre-forward who can truly make the difference is crucial (just look at Inter and Napoli) if they want to challenge for the league title and compete in Europe. After all, this season’s recent slump is also down to the poor form of the forwards in the squad. It says enough that the last goal scored by a Milan centre-forward was Leão’s against Cremonese on 1 March. During the transfer window, Milan need to bring to Milanello a player capable of delivering at least around twenty league goals.
Recently, La Gazzetta dello Sport, in an article by Luca Bianchin, has drawn up a list of more or less feasible targets. What is the right profile? A young, talented (but expensive) striker, or a proven player with a heavy wage?
Moise Kean:
Kean represents a particular case: he has a release clause already set, but it is very high (€62 million). Milan do not seem willing to pay it, although the player has been admired for some time, especially by Massimiliano Allegri. Two main doubts remain: will Allegri still be Milan’s manager? And would Fiorentina be willing to drop below €50 million? From a technical standpoint, Kean is still young and already tested in Serie A, but his career has been inconsistent so far: only two truly prolific seasons (with PSG and Fiorentina), alternating with up-and-down periods.
Robert Lewandowski:
Lewandowski has the most prestigious résumé among the available profiles. His cycle at Barcelona is nearing its end, and he is unlikely to stay there, as pointed out via Milan News. The main issue is financial: he will demand a high salary and must decide whether to remain in Europe or accept offers, especially from MLS. It would be a move against Milan’s usual youth-focused approach, but the numbers speak for themselves: 42 goals last season are an immediate guarantee.
Gabriel Jesus:
Gabriel Jesus could be an opportunity: Arsenal are willing to sell him and, at 29, he still has something to offer. However, he comes off difficult seasons: he has played little due to injuries and competition, scores less than in the past, and earns a high salary. He is not a traditional centre-forward, but his characteristics would be highly appreciated by head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Dusan Vlahovic:
Vlahović is a classic centre-forward, potentially available on a free transfer and already familiar to Allegri. The downsides: declining performances (just 13 goals over the last two seasons) and fitness issues. Juventus are not out of the race and are considering a short renewal with a salary of around €6 million net, a significant figure for Milan as well.
Nicolas Jackson:
Milan had already pursued him in the past. After an unconvincing loan spell at Bayern, he will return to Chelsea this summer. At 25, he wants stability: he could leave either on loan or permanently. He is not an out-and-out goalscorer nor a guaranteed choice, but he has shown interesting potential between Villarreal and Chelsea, making him an intriguing gamble. For fans and analysts alike, evaluating such risky profiles often mirrors the uncertainty seen on platforms like UFABET where form, momentum, and potential can shift expectations dramatically in football discussions.
In fact, the Rossoneri fans can also track the current teams of the strikers who are linked with a move to AC Milan via UFABET777 in order to keep an eye on their performances and perhaps even strike gold while on the platform.
Joshua Zirkzee:
Zirkzee had already been close to Milan two years ago. After moving to Manchester United, he has disappointed: few goals and a lot of time on the bench. A return to Italy could revive him, and the cost would be lower than before. He is an atypical striker: he does not score much but links play well and enhances his teammates, without being a true focal point in the box.
Ramos has lost “importance” at PSG following a change in attacking philosophy. At just 24, it is surprising to see him as a backup, considering his talent and numbers (27 goals with Benfica and a hat-trick at the World Cup). He needs trust and continuity. The deal would also depend on his salary, close to €5 million: Milan could discuss it with Jorge Mendes.
By the way, when assessing players like Ramos, comparisons are often drawn with Odds for Football Betting, where performance trends and tactical roles heavily influence expectations and perceived value.
Gonzalo Garcia:
A different profile from the others: a young player to invest in. Developed at Real Madrid, he has stood out especially at the Club World Cup. Real want to send him out to gain experience, but while retaining control (loan with option or a sell-on clause). It would be a financially sustainable deal in terms of wages, but one that needs to be carefully structured.
