Longo: ‘The only options’ – Milan faced with striker decision despite one being ‘more likely’

As the summer mercato draws to a close, AC Milan have to sign a striker to get close to a perfect transfer window. 

There are several names who have been linked to Milan this summer, but only two have held any real weight in the picture: Dusan Vlahovic, the long-term favourite, and then the recent growth of Rasmus Hojlund.

Both offer something different, and both elements are liked by Milan. The former is proven in Serie A, but is much more expensive, whilst Hojlund offers more of an unknown, with more potential to grow in the future.

Only two remain

Both are a risk, and Daniele Longo reports this afternoon that it is between those two for the signature. In fact, he states that they are the ‘only’ options currently being considered by the Rossoneri.

For what it is worth, he also references Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, but it is a difficult move, and he is probably not going to be considered in the final weeks of the mercato, likely due to the price required for the move.

Beneath the tweet, the reporter also replies to a question about who is more likely, to which he stated it would be Hojlund ‘very much’ so.
