The AC Milan management have decided not to sign a striker in the January transfer window, but a journalist has claimed that a big investment will happen this summer.
Milan are currently in a strange position given that they have Olivier Giroud and Luka Jovic making important contributions with Noah Okafor back from injury too, but the Frenchman and the Serbian are only under contract until June.
At least one of them will leave at the end of the season but Milan have chosen to put off the signing of a new centre-forward until then, while relying on Okafor as more of an auxiliary striker or a deputy to Rafael Leao rather than the No.9 of the future.
According to what is being reported by Antonio Vitiello in his latest column for MilanNews, the directors are preparing to make a ‘big investment in attack’ during the summer mercato.
The aim of Geoffrey Moncada and his side is to sign a ‘high-level player’ who can lead the line for years to come in the future, and a signing will arrive regardless of whether Giroud extends his contract or not.
No name is mentioned, but the likes of Jonathan David, Joshua Zirkzee, Serhou Guirassy and Victor Gyokeres have all been recently linked.
