This season, traditional giants AC Milan have continued their efforts this season after returning to the long-lost Champions League last season, and later to lead the Serie A table, and they are likely to lift the league trophy again since the 2010-11 season. Given that the two main strikers in the team, Olivier Giroud and Ibrahimovic, are old enough to retire, AC Milan is bound to bring in a reliable and young shooter this summer.
In addition to the upcoming 36-year-old Giroud, and Ibrahimovic, who is 40+ in service, the more reliable Milan front is 23-year-old Leo, and Rebić, Castilejo, Messias, etc., who have not played well this season, are not part of the team's long-term planning. Ac Milan have locked up Liverpool striker Origi, the 27-year-old Belgium international has made just 14 appearances this season, scoring five goals and three assists, scoring just 106 minutes. Origi, known as the "koi" by Chinese fans, has scored many key goals for Liverpool, and the 2019 Champions League semi-final victory against Barcelona is his masterpiece. With Liverpool's striker having Salah, Mane, Fimi, Jota and new signing Díaz, Origi's playing time was compressed to a handful. So there is a good chance he will leave the team this summer, and it is reported that AC Milan has reached a verbal agreement with Origi.
In addition to Origi, AC Milan is also closely following the movements of Manchester United player Jesse Lingard. England midfielders can play as forwards and left and right wingers and are all-rounders in the front. Due to the delay in not being reused, Jesse Lingard, who also expired this summer's contract, will choose to leave, and his old club West Ham and other Premier League teams are interested in recruiting, but the player himself seems to prefer Italian life, after Lingard appeared in Milan City and took a photo with his friend Ibrahimovic. Jesse Lingard played well during last season's loan spell at West Ham and proved his worth, and Milan sees it as an important option for the team. Lingard asked for an annual salary of about 4 million euros, which made the transaction very simple.
In addition to Origi and Jesse Lingard, who are two visa-free targets, AC Milan have several unrealistic targets, namely Watford winger Sal (worth 27 million euros), Sassuolo's forward double Berardi (worth 35 million euros) and Scamaka (worth 30 million euros). The three have more competitors, so the actual transaction price may be greater than their value, and even if Milan signs them is unlikely, the Nerazzurri will still try.
