Milan’s target met with representatives from Napoli to discuss a contract-the details

Oliver Giroud is scheduled to leave this summer, therefore AC Milan has been searching the market for a striker to replace him when the time comes. They will need to find one quickly. But according to a recent source, they might lose the fight for one of their targets to a Serie A competitor.

The question that has been asked this season is: When will Milan sign a striker? Not Will Milan acquire a new forward? Both the club and the supporters understand that they must invest in their next number nine. There are still unanswered questions as Milan continues to search the market for the most cost-effective striker who can score the goals the team needs to advance.

For the most part of the last few months, a trio has been preferred: Joshua Zirkzee is the player that really captures the attention of the club, while Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are also highly regarded. Jonathan David was formerly one of those three names, but he has since lost some of his popularity. He might still be relocating to Serie A, though.

According to a report from Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), the Canadian attacker and his entourage met with Giovanni Manna, Napoli’s soon-to-be sporting director, a few days ago to discuss the financial requirements for him to join the team.

According to the source, an agreement has been reached with the player, who would make €3 million a season if he signs, but the Neapolitan team now needs to match the sum that Lille has demanded, which is said to be over €50 million.
