As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the big topic of August – even more than the conclusion of the Ardon Jashari saga and the signing of a right-back – will be which centre-forward arrives to complete the attacking department.
Dusan Vlahovic remains at the forefront of the pursuit. Massimiliano Allegri wants to bring him to Milan, and Juventus consider him as a player that is outside of their plans. Of course, a financial agreement needs to be reached.
Among the alternative names, Rasmus Hojlund and Gonçalo Ramos are high on the list. For Ramos, the key is whether PSG will loan him out in the second half of August, which at the moment seems unlikely based on other reports.
Hojlund, who could join on loan from United, is a possibility even earlier. Two days ago, the Dane announced his desire to stay in Manchester, but the situation is evolving, and last season’s stats (23 starts, four goals) make it clear that the move to Manchester hasn’t been the most successful.
Milan were admirers of his when he was at Atalanta, before he sealed his big-money switch to Old Trafford which is yet to bring the desired results.
