Michael: Milan have stepped up their pursuit of Muani and they hope to sign the French striker this month

According to the Milan Sports newspaper, Milan have accelerated the pace of bringing in Nantes striker Mu'ani, who hope to sign the 23-year-old goalscorer this month.

This season, Mu'ani has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 18 Ligue 1 games for Nantes, which has attracted him the interest of several clubs in European football. Milan have been following Muani for some time and at the end of December they had a meeting to express interest in the young striker.

At first, Milan were considering waiving Muani this summer, as the Frenchman's contract with the club expires. However, with Frankfurt and Marseille also involved in the competition, Milan had to change its plans.

Milan are currently in the lead in their bid for Muani. If he can sign the French striker in January, he can both continue to grow with the help of Ibrahimovic and Giroud, as well as provide Pioli with more options on the offensive line.
