Hojlund needs to be convinced by Milan

Milan has completed an almost perfect transfer window, moving nearly 300 million euros—just over 150 million in outgoing transfers and around 130 million in incoming signings. With the very profitable sales of Reijnders, Theo Hernandez, Thiaw, and Kalulu, and the arrivals of Jasari, Ricci, Estupinan, Atekame, De Winter, and Modrić, Milan still has 20–30 million euros left to spend on a striker. Of course, sporting director Igli Tare also faces the tough task of “placing” Adli and Bennacer, who have rejected several very tempting and lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Max Allegri is insisting on a striker who could be a starter. The Milan coach believes that Jimenez still doesn’t have the experience for Serie A and doesn’t want an alternative or a forward who would merely compete with the Mexican. Dušan Vlahović is Allegri’s first choice, but since his move from Juventus is highly complicated, Milan has begun seriously exploring other options to meet their head coach’s request. In addition to Hojlund, who has been the most talked about in recent days, Milan has inquired about Jackson from Chelsea, Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen, and Krstović from Lecce. One advantage for the Rossoneri is that they won’t be playing in European competitions this coming season, so two central strikers will be enough. However, since Allegri wants to open a new cycle, it is crucial that they find the “right number nine”.

Man Utd could offload Hojlund after all - to European giants, actually

So far, the deal which looks the most certain one is Hojlund. Rossonerri have began direct conversations with the player’s agent but Sky Sport Italia reports that for now, the club doesn’t have an agreement with either Hojlund or Manchester. But, things could change quickly, as United are desperate to get rid of him and could accept an offer for a loan with an option to buy for 45 million euros. Milan will also need to convince Hojlund that they are a good option for him because the Dane has still not decided to leave Old Trafford. Manchester executives gave him permission to do so, but the player wants to stay and figth for his place in the team with Benjamin Sesko.
