According to reports in Italy, Milan’s deal for Álvaro Morata is expected to be finalized in the next 48 hours, but his arrival does not rule out the acquisition of another forward. According to Calciomercato, the Rossoneri are looking for a striker with different characteristics: someone physically strong and skilled in aerial play to provide tactical alternatives for the new coach, Paulo Fonseca.
Tammy Abraham’s name has resurfaced prominently within Milan; The English striker was initially proposed to the Rossoneri in the first two weeks of June, but both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada had put the operation on hold as they focused on the deal to bring Joshua Zirzkee to Milanello. However, the Dutch talent is now set to officially become a new player for Manchester United. In recent days, Milan have decided to reactivate the pursuit of Abraham, resuming contacts with Roma based on a specific directive from Paulo Fonseca.
The English striker is enthusiastic about the possibility of playing for a historic club like AC Milan and alongside three great friends: Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori, and Christian Pulisic. The 26-year-old’s salary is within the reach of the Rossoneri, with the ROOF agency working to mediate the exit conditions with Roma. Among all the options presented to him, Abraham has expressed a clear preference for moving forward with the Milan deal. This priority in the early phase of the transfer market will likely result in his departure from Roma.
Milan’s initial proposal to Roma included the transfer of Luka Jovic plus a financial adjustment. However, the Giallorossi do not seem interested in the Serbian striker. The negotiation will continue in search of the right exchange. Geoffrey Moncada has identified Alexis Saelemaekers as the ideal solution but is also open to discussing Daniel Maldini and Lorenzo Colombo. Roma, on the other hand, is considering requesting Noah Okafor instead.
