GdS: Milan could sign both Vlahovic and Hojlund – what it means for Gimenez

The striker position is the last to solve for AC Milan. Of course, it is also the biggest priority for the summer generally.

Work needs to be done up front. At present, Milan have a one-man strikeforce, without any back-up at all. It is a worrying position to be in, but it is not insurmountable. In fact, it is quite the opposite, and cogs can begin to turn quickly.

Reports this morning suggest that both situations involving Dusan Vlahovic and Rasmus Hojlund are continuing to tick. Though a move for the latter is seen as more plausible currently.

Three for two

It is not impossible that both join, though. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri like both players, and a ‘crazy idea’ has been born inside the walls of Casa Milan; what if they both arrived in the next few weeks?

Right now, it is a hypothesis, spoken only in whispers. However, it cannot be ruled out, and if it were possible, it would be seriously considered.

So, how would it work? Well, Vlahovic would arrive on a permanent deal, whilst Hojlund joined on a loan deal – which Manchester United are open to – with an option to buy. The caveat to this, then, is that Santiago Gimenez would then be unnecessary.

In this case, the Mexican would leave on loan, perhaps for a year, whilst Hojlund’s test plays out. Then he could return. Alternatively, he could be sold this summer, but this would clash with the preferred idea of a ‘second chance’ this season.
