Repubblica: Milan feel Vlahovic is right option due to ‘both financial and technical reasons’

AC Milan are evaluating various options for the striker role, but Dusan Vlahovic is the one that appeals most at the moment.

It was announced a few weeks ago by the sporting director Igli Tare that Milan want a new centre-forward to pair with Santiago Gimenez. They are looking for someone with different characteristics to the Mexican.

“We’re looking for a player to compete with Gimenez, in whom we have the utmost confidence. He’ll need to be a true centre-forward, someone who makes the difference in the box and helps the team move up the field,” he said.

“This is something that’s been missing since Giroud’s departure. We’re looking in Italy and abroad. There are also transfer opportunities; if I’m convinced it’s the right fit, I’ll be ready to take advantage of them.”

Vlahovic: The chosen one?

According to La Repubblica (via MilanNews) the Rossoneri are veering straight towards Vlahovic. It may seem strange that Massimiliano Allegri insists on having Vlahovic back with him, given that in their two and a half years together at Juventus the pair did not always hit it off.

The choice though is simple and combines both financial and technical reasons. Where can you find, the paper asks, a No.9 who guarantees a minimum of 10-15 goals per season and who would cost just €25m because of his contract situation.

La Repubblica respond to their rhetorical questions: “There’s no point racking your brains: you can’t find one.” And so, according to them, Vlahovic is the one for Milan.
