Milan had the rather remarkable record of having used five different starting strikes in 2024-25. Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham, Luka Jovic, Francesco Camarda and Santiago Gimenez all had the chance at various points.
Going into the summer window, Gimenez and Camarda are the only two guarantees. Morata is out on loan at Galatasaray, while Abraham’s loan will soon expire and Jovic’s deal will run out.
According to what Gianluca Di Marzio reported during ‘Calciomercato – L’Originale’ on Sky (via MilanNews), there is certainly a striker on Milan’s list of targets for the summer transfer window.
The new head coach Massimiliano Allegri wants to evaluate Gimenez in the preseason training camp, to see if he is the right fit for his system and his ideas, but it seems certain he will stay.
Thus, the second striker could be either an alternative to the Mexican or a starter if the Mexican does not give the right answers to Allegri in the first few outings.
Who might that be? As a reminder, the new sporting director Igli Tare met with the agent of Lorenzo Lucca last week and he is a name that has been mentioned a lot.
More recently, the name of Aleksandar Mitrovic emerged. He is under contract until 2026 with Al-Hilal, having scored 47 goals in 51 Saudi Pro League games since moving there.
