AC Milan are gearing up for a new era under new manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has returned to the San Siro after 11 years.
Luka Modric is set to become the first of many signings in what promises to be a busy summer transfer window.
While a plethora of midfielders have been linked with Milan, signing a striker is equally as important.
The Rossoneri paid €32 million for Santiago Gimenez in February, but he has failed to replicate the sublime form he showed at Feyenoord.
Alvaro Morata, who was signed last summer, struggled to make an impact before moving to Galatasaray on loan in the winter transfer window.
Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham are also on the verge of leaving. Here are three centre forwards Milan could target this summer
Dusan Vlahovic
The Serbian striker has been heavily linked with a move to Milan. Allegri is looking for a reunion after working with him at Juventus.
Vlahovic’s future appears to lie away from Juventus, who are open to cashing in on him this summer before his deal expires in a year.
The former Fiorentina man has failed to live up to his hefty €70 million transfer fee.
However, Vlahovic’s talent is undeniable, and he can reach the top in the right environment.
Vlahovic has a similar profile to Gimenez – tall, physical, predatory instincts inside the box and good build-up play.
Juve want to recoup at least €30m by selling Vlahovic, and Milan can provide him with an escape route to revive his career.
Moise Kean
Kean bagged 25 goals and four assists for Fiorentina last season.
The Italian’s stock has skyrocketed, with several European heavyweights and Saudi Pro League clubs hot on his trail.
Milan are interested in the former Everton star, but La Viola are trying to keep him for next season.
Goncalo Ramos
Goncalo Ramos faces an uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Portuguese striker has slipped down the pecking order under manager Luis Enrique following his €80m move from Benfica.
However, Ramos has displayed his class and finishing prowess even with limited opportunities.
Ousmane Dembele had unprecedented success after being converted into a striker and will continue to play in his new position next season.
PSG may use Ramos as back-up unless a huge offer is made. Milan need a young forward to spearhead their attack and Ramos would be a top addition.
Mateo Retegui
Retegui enjoyed a breathtaking 2024/25 campaign with Atalanta, finishing as Serie A’s top scorer with 25 goals.
He racked up 37 goal contributions in total to fortify his status as one of the finest strikers in Europe.
The 26-year-old would be a brilliant signing for Milan, but it will be difficult to prise him away from Atalanta.
The absence of Champions League football at Milan next season may not appeal to Retegui.
