CM: Milan must make decision regarding Argentine wonderkid – the current situation
AC Milan’s scouting extends far past the borders of Italy and Europe. Today, a report has emerged, stating that they are interested in a young Argentine midfielder who is gaining interest from European clubs.
The upcoming window is massively important for Milan, and there is pressure on several areas. 2022’s summer mercato was a failure, and the 2023 edition was heavily improved. Now, though, there is the task to better that again, with the Rossoneri aiming for their second star next season.
As a result, that means the club must search extensively for the right profiles to add to their squad whilst attaining these players for the right value. At times, the European market can add a tax, so to speak, onto players due to registration rules.
Therefore, it is vital to look outside of the confines of Europe to see what talent is available for prices normally much less than their European counterparts.
With this in mind, Milan are once again interested in Argentinian midfielder Equi Fernandez (no relation to Enzo) from Boca Juniors, a report from CalcioMercato.com suggests. It is believed he may be worth €20 million.
However, they will face heavy competition from Benfica and Fiorentina, who are both heavily considering signing the prospect in the upcoming mercato.
Milan looking into cut-price deal for Sassuolo star after relegation
AC Milan are on the hunt for a new striker to come in and lead the line from next season onwards and Andrea Pinamonti has emerged as an idea, a report claims.
Milan is reportedly considering Pinamonti as a summertime alternative, per TMW’s report. The Sassuolo striker is undoubtedly not the management’s first pick, but if Luka Jovic decides not to extend his contract, he might present a chance to seize.
Milan is keeping a careful eye on Sassuolo’s relegation to Serie B because they know that big stars will probably go for less money than they could have if they had remained in the top division.
At nearly €2 million net a season, Pinamonti’s wage would make the Rossoneri one of the few Italian teams that can afford it. Expected to leave the building with Domenico Berardi and Armand Laurienté, the 25-year-old scored 11 goals in Serie A this season.
Olivier Giroud’s departure to Los Angeles FC has left Milan searching for a replacement for the No. 9 shirt and starting spot; nonetheless, Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna is still the team’s top pick.
