The Canadian forward has been goalless in Ligue 1 since August, and the price has dropped to 40 million.
Regardless Jonathan David remains the number one market target for Milan, and in January, they will try to negotiate with Lille to bring him to Milanello in the summer. But Moncada is also following different names
There are few doubts that Milan will be one of the teams that will be talked about the most during the January transfer window. Partly due to the many injuries and partly because the squad is still incomplete, as demonstrated in these first four months of the season.
The absolute priority for the ownership was, remains, and will continue to be the search for a striker. A center-forward who is not just an alternative to Giroud but, in the collective imagination, could become Milan’s number 9 in the years to come.
Jonathan David the favorite
The French club considers him untouchable in January but not for the next summer, as the Canadian’s contract expires in June 2025 and is unlikely to be renewed. That’s why the price could drop a year from the expiration.
From the €60 million requested a few months ago to around €40 million, a figure that could be achievable for RedBird, also in the perspective of sustainable growth always emphasized by the American ownership. The move could happen as early as January.
OTHER NAMES
There are also other names on the table, the first name on the list is that of Serhou Guirassy, who has scored 16 goals in the 10 seasonal matches played with Stuttgart. Guirassy has a release clause of €16 million, which could be easily paid if everyone agrees on the acquisition of the twenty-seven-year-old, who had never scored with such continuity in his career.
Another name on the list is that of Akor Adams, 23-year-old forward from Montpellier, who is second only to Mbappe in Ligue 1 goalscorers list. But regardless, Milan want Jonathan David who has netted only twice so far
