GdS: Harder in the foreground as Jackson and Vlahovic remain in the shadows

AC Milan are looking to complete the signing of a striker soon, and it seems the man of the moment is Conrad Harder.

In the past few days, the idea of Milan signing Harder has grown, and this is largely due to Victor Boniface failing his medical assurance check. So, the Rossoneri met with the Dane’s agent yesterday, and things have accelerated.

As Gazzetta dello Sport write, as seen below, the club are experiencing a ‘goal crisis’ which needs immediate treatment, given Santiago Gimenez has shown he cannot be what is needed.

Harder arrives

The Danish striker has ‘great potential’ and whilst his record for Sporting is not fantastic – 12 goals in 51 games – he has only been with the club since 2024, and has played a largely back-up role in that time.

This season, he has one goal already, though again, he is playing as the second string. It is a very RedBird-esque move, all things considered; young with good potential, both on the pitch and in the mercato.

Other options

Whilst a deal for Harder is not done, and perhaps after it is, the club will continue to assess their options. Whilst Dusan Vlahovic is getting further away, he is still in the picture, as are Nicolas Jackson and Tolu Arokodare.

The latter would, perhaps, be the easiest to acquire, but it would not be an easy task in itself. Especially with him not being as well looked at this summer. Whereas someone like Vlahovic has been pleaded for all summer.
