AC Milan were connected to another striker yesterday, as the Joshua Zirkzee issue failed to advance, despite the fact that the Rossoneri are the favourites. However, a report claims that Atletico Madrid rejected a significant bid for him in recent weeks, prompting the club to search elsewhere.
With the appointment of Paulo Fonseca, everyone’s attention has shifted to a new target: a striker. Given the importance of the position, adequate analysis of all choices is required, and fresh proposals are generated on a daily basis.
Samu Omorodion, the 20-year-old striker who signed for Atletico Madrid for €5 million last summer, is the most recent player to be analyzed. He spent last season on loan at Deportivo Alaves, scoring eight goals and assisting once in 34 La Liga games, and while it may not light up a division, Milan sees potential.
As stated yesterday, with Zirkzee’s position remaining unchanged, other options are being considered, and while Omorodion poses a risk, there is a sense within the club that he may become a star for the Rossoneri.Atletico feel he has the potential to become a star, and despite paying €5 million last summer, they expect a significant return on their investment. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club rejected a €35 million approach from West Ham a few weeks ago, which heightens the risk of any suggested transfer.
