"AC Milan will sign a top-level striker in the summer window, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Marco Guidi. The ongoing physical problems that Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao were battling saw Milan agree a deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta with Crystal Palace worth €30-35m. It seemed that the Frenchman would be the big signing on deadline day, then it all suddenly stopped."
""I think that regardless of Nkunku's future, a striker will arrive at Milan, so it's not tied to the Frenchman. While this connection could have been made in January, a striker will arrive in the summer," he said. "I think it will be a high-end, top-quality arrival. I think that when Milan signed Gimenez, they hoped he could be the centre-forward of the future. I believe a profile will emerge."
AC Milan will sign a top-level striker in the summer window. Injuries to Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao prompted Milan to agree a €30-35m deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta with Crystal Palace that collapsed on deadline day. Christopher Nkunku attracted transfer links to Fenerbahce and Roma but remained at the club despite being unsettled and improving his form since December. Milan plans a high-end striker arrival independent of Nkunku's future. Gimenez had been considered as a potential centre-forward of the future, and part of the management seriously considered selling Nkunku in January.
