The absolute priority for Milan, as is known, is to acquire a top starting striker following the departure of Olivier Giroud. It is also well known that the main target for some time has been Joshua Zirkzee, with whom the club has been negotiating for several weeks. A few days ago, it seemed that a deal was imminent, but more patience will be required to finalize the arrival of the Bologna striker at Milanello.
This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that negotiations are ongoing regarding the commissions demanded by Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, who is asking for 15 million euros. Milan considers this amount excessive and has no intention of paying it. This has led to a stalemate that has yet to be resolved. The risk, besides prolonging the deal, is that another club could enter the fray, particularly a Premier League team that would have no trouble paying such high commissions.
NEW IDEA - For this reason, Milan is also keeping other options open. The Italian newspaper reports reports that a new name has emerged for Milan’s attack in the last few hours: Samu Omorodion, a 20-year-old striker from Alaves, on loan from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish player of Nigerian origin finished last season with 9 goals in La Liga. He is a player who has not yet fully broken through, and who knows, he might do so with the Rossoneri, where the aim is also to develop young talents.
