The AC Milan management are aware that the striker role needs addressing and they could make a move as early as January, a report claims.
Milan pursued a new striker all summer and in the end it was Luka Jovic who arrived just before the deadline, but he is so far yet to make any kind of meaningful contribution.
According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), one of the names that Milan tried for in the summer was Mehdi Taremi but everything fell through due to some commissions that his agents requested at the last second but.
Despite this, Taremi has not yet renewed his contract which will expire at the end of the season and thus he could be an idea for January. If the situation were to remain the same in the next two months at Milan, with Jovic not suitable to be Giroud’s deputy, Milan could move on the market with Taremi a feasible name.
However, there are some obstacles to overcome, one of which is the probable passage into the Champions League knockout stages by Porto who are then unlikely to sell one of their stars mid season.
In addition to Taremi – who also remains an option for next summer if he does not renew his contract with Porto – the Rossoneri management are already drawing up a list of possible candidates.
For now there are four names that are stronger and more attractive than others and the most popular one is undoubtedly Jonathan David. There could also be an approach for him in January but the French club will not make discounts and seems to be ready to ask for no less than €50m.
The other profiles that are tempting are that of Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna and Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord.
