AC Milan are seeking a new centre-forward and have identified Gianluca Scamacca as a key target from within Serie A. Scamacca could leave Atalanta because his contract expires in 13 months and extension talks have not progressed. Atalanta’s attacking choices have already shifted, with Nikola Krstović’s strong first season impact and Raffaele Palladino often benching Scamacca. A potential coaching change in Bergamo could further alter the attack, but without an extension a sale appears likely. Roma are also monitoring the situation as they look for an alternative striker. A transfer fee around €30m is estimated, with Scamacca’s €3m net salary considered manageable and his age making the deal feasible.
"AC Milan's big summer signing will be a new centre-forward, with a new target having emerged from within Serie A. According to Tuttosport, Milan's eyes are on Gianluca Scamacca in their striker hunt. He could leave Atalanta during the summer transfer window because his contract expires in 13 months, and negotiations for an extension have not yet taken off."
"This is why several clubs have already taken note and are positioning themselves in case the striker leaves. This scenario is also possible given the excellent impact Nikola Krstović has made in his first season with Atalanta, so much so that Raffaele Palladino has often benched Scamacca. Crossed destinies The change of coach in Bergamo (Maurizio Sarri is the frontrunner to take over from Palladino) could also reshuffle the cards in the Nerazzurri's attack."
"However, without a contract extension, the most likely scenario for Scamacca is a sale regardless. Milan are keen but we must also keep an eye on Roma, who are looking for an alternative up front to deepen their attacking line in the event of Champions League qualification. The Rossoneri are hoping to achieve the same goal this weekend, so in many ways the fates are intertwined."
"To snatch the Italian national team striker from La Dea, around €30m is needed . This is the starting estimate that emerged and it is a significant figure, but at the same time still affordable for the coffers of the Italian clubs, especially given Scamacca's age (27). Even from a contractual perspective, the €3m net salary received by the former PSV and West Ham man appears sustainable. Scamacca would occupy a slot in the list of Italian players in the squad, which the Rossoneri currently lack. Translated: two birds with one stone."
