In the summer transfer market, AC Milan would like to purchase a right winger to strengthen the attacking department currently available for head coach Stefano Pioli. Their sights are set on a marquee signing that could significantly, and positively, alter the balance of the squad.
As they scour the market for the best possible candidate, their attention is on the profile of Marco Asensio. The right winger has long been on Milan's radar and is viewed as a potential game-changer for Stefano Pioli's team.
Asensio's contract with Spanish giants Real Madrid is set to expire on June 30, 2023, and despite the club's offer of a new contract worth a reported 4.8 million euros net per season until June 30th, 2027, there is no agreement in place for his renewal. Reports suggest that the Rossoneri could match or even exceed Real Madrid's offer to bring Asensio to the city of Milan, a place where the player has already enjoyed a memorable holiday recently.
The player, in fact, is at a crossroads and must choose whether to further tie himself to the 'Merengues' or to try a new experience, as reported by PianetaMilan who cite Calciomercato.com.
The AC Milan target turned 27 in January. He is left-footed and is versatile. This season, he featured in 970 minutes played overall across all competitions for Real Madrid, netting 4 goals and providing 4 assists in 27 appearances.
It’s time they sign more italians…
