In this summer window, AC Milan will restructure and upgrade their forward lineup, and in addition to Giroud, who has already confirmed his departure, the management will also have to find a place for Divock Origi and Colombo. In terms of signings, Milan are once again concerned about Alvaro Morata amid the stalemate in negotiations with Zirkze, with the Spanish striker being bought for only 12 million euros, and he and his family are very eager to return to life in Italy.

So far in the 20/21 season, AC Milan's forward line has been dominated by old men, with Ibrahimovic returning for the second time, and then Giroud becoming old and old. Although the team has also introduced a number of new strikers, none of them can replace the two elders of Xuan Ming. With Ibrahimovic retiring and Olivier Giroud leaving the MLS, Milan are in dire need of a leading striker next season.

In terms of Milan's current forward set-up, there is still no one who can fill the starting line-up, and what is even more troubling is that Divock Origi and Colombo are about to return from loan spells, and the management needs to find a home for them again. Divock Origi, who scored just one goal in 20 appearances for Forest last season, has been confirmed to be refunded, with Milan on a contract until 2026 and a salary of up to €4 million.

Colombo's performances at Monza have also failed to live up to expectations, contributing four shots and one pass in 25 appearances, and he will return to Milan this summer, and it is clear that he does not have the quality to start as a central striker. Cagliari is a potential next home for Colombo, the Sardinian club who have not bought out Monza on loan from Petagna and could continue their pursuit of Colombo this summer.

The good news is that Milan have already agreed a contract extension with Jovic. The Serb has been a super-substitute in the squad just over the course of the season, scoring nine goals and providing one assist in 30 appearances (19 substitute appearances), and his German turnaround price has risen slightly by €2 million. The management again offered him a one-year contract, and the two parties have reached an agreement.

However, Jovic can only play the role of a substitute cavalry, and Milan still need to sign a strong centre-forward. Negotiations between management and Zirkze's team have been going on for some time, but the high commissions demanded by the agent have been the biggest obstacle, forcing Milan to start looking at other suitable candidates, and the European Championship has been the inspiration for the club's recruitment efforts.

According to Torino Sport, Milan could make a comeback after a failed attempt to bring in Armando Broja in the winter window, although the Chelsea striker scored just one goal in half a season on loan at Fulham. Moncada even sent scouts to watch Albania's European Championship match against Italy, with the aim of examining Armando Broja's performance with the national team. Milan are looking to bring in the Albanian international on loan plus option purchase.

Another player who has re-attracted Milan's attention is Alvaro Morata. The 31-year-old Spaniard has just scored his seventh goal at the European Championships, finishing third on the all-time scorer list behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Michel Platini. At club level, Sloppy made 48 appearances for Atletico last season, scoring 21 goals and providing four assists, showing no signs of dipping in form.

In fact, Milan have chased Alvaro Morata in the past few transfer windows, and the latter is also eager to return to Serie A, mainly because he and his family love the Italian climate and lifestyle. According to well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano, Morata now "wants to return to Italy at all costs." ”

Alvaro Morata has two years left on his contract with Atletico, but the contract includes a €12 million buy-out clause that will take effect this summer. Sloppy will meet with Atletico Madrid as soon as the European Championship ends and apply to leave. This will be a great opportunity for Milan, after all, it will not be easy to find a centre-forward who is familiar with Serie A, has an efficient attack and is cheap.
