AC Milan are considering loan moves for Chelsea’s João Félix and Manchester United duo Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund after accepting defeat in their pursuit of Marcus Rashford, sources have told ESPN.
Feyenoord and Mexico forward Santiago Giménez is another target under consideration at Milan for a permanent transfer if England defender Fikayo Tomori leaves the Italian club for a fee this month.
Milan had set United and England forward Rashford a Monday deadline to commit to a loan move to the San Siro following talks with the player’s camp and United.
However, sources have told ESPN that Milan now accept that the 27-year-old is waiting for other options after making it clear that he favours a move to Barcelona if the La Liga team can create space on their wage-bill by offloading fringe players.
With Rashford declining the chance to move to the club, Milan are now set to complete a deal for Manchester City defender Kyle Walker to fill their one remaining slot for a non-EU player.
But after missing out on Rashford, Milan continue to be in the market for a forward and sources have said that the club are exploring the possibility of signing one of João Félix, Zirkzee or Højlund.
