AC Milan is aiming for something heavy for its attack

This winter, AC Milan did not wait for the official opening of the transfer market to make some adjustments. On December 30, the Lombards announced the arrival of Sérgio Conceição in place of Paulo Fonseca. A rather profitable choice for the moment since the Rossoneri were undefeated during 4 matches in all competitions under the orders of the former coach of FC Nantes and FC Porto. They were stopped in full swing on Saturday by Juventus in the league (2-0 defeat). Despite this result, the first returns are rather positive for the new strong man of the Lombards. To help him in his mission and above all to have players who are more aligned with what he wants to implement, the Milanese leaders are active during the month of January.

Walker and an offensive player expected

Unless the situation changes, Kyle Walker (34) will join the Italians by the end of the transfer window. Indeed, the Englishman announced to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City his wish to leave this winter. If Saudi Arabia, Inter and Galatasaray looked into his case, AC Milan quickly took pole position on this issue. On Friday, an agreement had almost been reached with Walker for a lease until 2027. It remained to reach an agreement with Man City. A possible termination of contract has also been mentioned. But ultimately, it should be a transfer according to the latest reports from Italy and England. At the same time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed talks for the England international.

“Kyle Walker is a great player, a great leader… We are still studying what we can do for this deal, yes. We'll see. But there is obviously an interest”confided the Swede. This track, which could well be definitively closed in the coming hours, puts an end to the one leading to Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), since AC Milan can only recruit one English player per transfer window as stipulated in the regulations. However, the Mancunian striker has long been the priority of the Rossoneri, who want to get their hands on a versatile winger. But they had to move on to forget the failure Marcus Rashford.

Interesting tracks on loan or direct transfer

According to the Gazzetta dello SportJoão Félix is ​​Conceição’s priority. The latter greatly appreciates his compatriot, whose agent is a certain Jorge Mendes. But if the former Benfica player were to join Milan, it would be in the form of a loan. Giovanni Reyna (BVB) and Ferran Torres are also tracked according to the pink paper publication. The names of Joshua Zirkee (MU) and Rasmus Højlund are also mentioned. But all these options are for a loan. AC Milan will only consider a transfer in the event of a departure. A few days ago, Fikayo Tomori was close to Juventus. But the price asked by the Lombard team calmed the Bianconeri.

The Milanese could also fill their coffers thanks to Emerson Royal. According to Sky ItaliaGalatasaray likes it. The Italians are also counting on a sale of Strahinja Pavlović. The latter is in Fenerbahçe’s sights. There Gazzetta dello Sport explains that Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the other managers of the club will agree to part with their player only in the event of an offer of at least €20 million. A sum that they will reinvest in the transfer window to secure the services of Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord), who is also targeted by OM. A striker who has been making the Rossoneri salivate for several months. Whether on loan or for a permanent transfer, AC Milan is not holding back anything this winter.
