The transfer window has closed its doors in Italy, as well as in Europe, on September 1, in the evening. However, this does not prevent the teams from working outside transfer periods and preparing for the future. This is particularly the case of AC Milan, which will have to activate for its line of attack. As Olivier Giroud approaches his 38th year, Luka Jovic is not at all certain to stay next summer and Noah Okafor has not given satisfaction in the axis, the Rossoneri are busy finding their new goalscorer.
And he could well be in Ligue 1. According to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport, the management of Milan would have targeted Jonathan David (23) as a priority to succeed Olivier Giroud, at the forefront of the attack. Author of 24 goals and 4 assists in 37 Ligue 1 matches last season, the Canadian logically attracted the big teams. This was also the case for the Milanese, but its price of 60 million euros cooled the Italian management.
Lille asked for €60m this summer
A price much higher than that asked for the three offensive targets of the Milanese summer Patson Daka, Rafa Mir and therefore Luka Jovic, who was recruited until next summer. “The conditions should be very good for him, very good for us and that we have the possibility of replacing him. So you understand that 48 or 72 hours from the end of the transfer window, to replace him is rather complicated.explained Olivier Létang on this subject, just before the end of the summer transfer window.
But while Jo David is coming to the end of his contract in the summer of 2025, AC Milan would therefore prefer to go on the attack from next summer to recruit him. But the Lombard club could face competition from other European leaders, even better armed financially. Already author of 2 goals in 4 days of Ligue 1, Jonathan David has also started his new season very well in the north of France with LOSC, which is in fifth place in the Championship, in four days.
