Moretto: Milan still believe in Vlahovic possibility – Tare ‘personally working’ on the deal

Dusan Vlahovic remains the name that has the highest approval rating inside the offices of Casa Milan, according to Matteo Moretto.

As we approach the end of the summer window, there is still no striker signing imminent for Milan. Rasmus Hojlund has been linked in recent days, though there seems to be some doubts about whether he will give the green light, especially with competition from Napoli now to contend with.

The sporting director Igli Tare spoke to Mediaset before kick-off in the Coppa Italia round of 32 against Bari at San Siro on Sunday night. He was asked about Hojlund but also about Vlahovic, confirming that both can still be considered options.

‘Constant contact’

Matteo Moretto spoke about Milan’s striker pursuit in a video published on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel and he focused on Vlahovic, who remains the No.1 name.

“Today I want to focus on a name for Milan’s attack, the one that everyone agrees on, the favourite of the entire Milan management for quality, characteristics and desire for revenge, namely that of Dusan Vlahovic,” he began (via MilanNews).

“There is constant contact between the parties. Milan sporting director Igli Tare is personally working to maintain contact with both the player’s entourage and Juventus.

“We’ll see in the coming days if the deal becomes feasible in terms of costs, but Milan are doing a significant job of closing in on Vlahovic. It must be said that Milan is also keeping other options alive, as is only right.”
