According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC
Milan (Italy)
Several important deal negotiations and target confirmations were launched in the summer transfer market.
AC Milan's summer transfer plan focuses on reinforcements at striker, midfielder and defender positions, while resolutely refraining from considering the sale of existing top players.
Forward filler:
AC Milan have confirmed they are targeting a new No. 9 at striker
Zielkiser (name)
.. The club was willing to pay a €40 million release fee and reached an agreement with the player on a five-year contract with an annual salary of about €5 million. However, Zilkzer's agent demanded a commission of up to €15 million, which led to a stalemate in the negotiations.
Midfield Strengthening:
Milan's most trusted midfield target is a Monaco player
Fofana (name)
.. While Monaco are asking for €25 million, Milan plan to sign him for around €18 million.
Defenders introduced:
AC Milan are also looking for a right back, with Tottenham Hotspur's Emerson the preferred choice, although Milan are reluctant to meet Tottenham's €20 million asking price. In addition, Milan plan to look for a new center back later in the summer window.
Other movements:
Milan are also considering the possibility of signing Rabiot on a waiver and plan to promote talent from the youth team to bolster Te'o's bench. Newcastle have shown interest in Milan defender Gaffer and could be the subject of a future deal.
AC Milan's transfer strategy will continue to move forward after the Europa League with clear goals and quick action, hoping to complete key reinforcements and adjustments before the start of the new season.
