AC Milan are in the market for a new centre-forward this summer and they are not letting go of Folarin Balogun as a target, according to a report.
According to what is being reported by Il Giornale (via MilanNews) today, Balogun is an idea that is gaining momentum among the Milan management as they look at options to bolster the role of striker.
The Arsenal-owned forward spent last season on loan at Stade de Reims where he collected 39 appearances and scored 22 goals, thus arousing interest from around Europe.
The 22-year-old seems to fit in with the parameters of Milan’s project because he is young, has good experience but the potential to grow and he would offer something different to what Olivier Giroud does.
A report from Sky on Monday night night stated that Balogun is Milan’s ‘big dream’ for the attack along with Jonathan David of Lille, but the high asking price makes things difficult.
Journalist Daniele Longo stated yesterday that the Gunners want at least €40m if they are to consider selling, while the player himself has ruled out the idea of another loan deal.
