Cohen: AC Milan enquire about Barcelona striker Lewandowski – the situation

AC Milan have begun discussions with the agent of Robert Lewandowski to see if there is a possibility of signing him.

In the summer window a lot was written about Milan’s pursuit of a new striker. In the end Christopher Nkunku arrived who is not a true number nine, but there were a number of links like Dusan Vlahovic and Conrad Harder, while Victor Boniface failed a medical.

So, with Santiago Gimenez still not really convincing, there is the likelihood that Milan have simply pushed the striker signing down the line. Who might it be? Quite a bold suggestion has arrived.

Tare begins Lewandowski talks

According to the journalist Luca Cohen, contacts between agent Pini Zahavi and Tare have taken place to discuss the situation of Lewandowski. Milan are trying to understand how things are with Barcelona, amid widespread reports they will not extend his deal, which expires next June.

Cohen adds: “We are talking about information requests. Don’t take big mental leaps for now. It’s necessary to reveal it, like they talked about Modric in May.”

The Pole is without doubt one of the best strikers of his generation. He has 105 goals in 154 games for Barcelona across all competitions, having scored 344 in 375 for Bayern Munich, with 73 assists.

It would not be the first time Milan have turned to a veteran centre-forward to try and fix the issue. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud are recent examples, and with Lewandowski being 37 it would certainly be a win-now move, if it materialises.
