at Despite winning the Serie A in the 2021-22 season, Milan’s performance has not been as impressive this season, and they currently find themselves in fourth place, partly due to Juventus’ point deduction.
In this situation, Sandro Tonali, the highly regarded Italian midfielder and one of Milan’s hopeful stars, is on the verge of transferring to Newcastle. On the other hand, Inter is also targeting Sassuolo’s Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi (23) and Borussia Mönchengladbach’s French forward Marcus Thuram (25). Japan’s national team midfielder Daichi Kamada (26) from Frankfurt is also on their acquisition list.
With the funds from Tonali’s sale, Milan can actively strengthen their squad. And now, a new name has emerged: Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku (30).
Lukaku played for Inter this season on loan from Chelsea. He previously joined Inter on a permanent transfer from Manchester United and has played a total of three seasons there.
Lukaku has also faced Chelsea in the Champions League this season but does not have a place in the team. While he aims to stay at Inter, they don’t have the financial power to acquire him permanently, so they are considering another loan situation.
In this context, Milan, with the resources at their disposal, is reportedly preparing a purchase offer to Chelsea. The offer is expected to be around €40 million. Considering Chelsea’s need for squad restructuring, it is believed that cashing in on Lukaku would be desirable for them.
The current situation showcases a significant shift in Milan’s transfer strategy compared to the era of their former Technical Director Paolo Maldini and Sports Director Frederic Massara. Will they be able to snatch the rival team’s ace player?
