Milan fancy 36 goals and 14 assists to the Indian center, and Ibleo teamed up to win over the buyout fee of 100 million euros

Recently, AC Milan have named Portuguese sporting centre-forward Jokeres as a summer target. The 25-year-old Sweden international has scored 36 goals and provided 14 assists this season for a whopping €100 million buyout. Ibrahimovic and Rafael Leao have taken on the role of lobbyists, and the club hopes that the duo will use their personal feelings to woo players to join.

According to well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan centre-forward Olivier Giroud has received an official offer from MLS side Los Angeles FC, and his national team team-mate Lloris is also trying to persuade him to join. If nothing else, the 37-year-old could be leaving the San Siro this summer, and Milan are stepping up their search for a replacement.

Zirkze, Sesko and Jonathan David are all potential signings for Milan, and a new name has recently been revealed in the media, which is Djecherish from Sporting Portugal. The Swede fits Milan's fantasies of a new centre-forward – goal-solving, energetic and invested in the future.

A member of the Swedish academy at Brommapokana, he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the age of 20, but he did not make a name for himself with the Seagulls and was loaned to St Pauli, Swansea City and Coventry. In 2021, Coventry bought the Swede for just €1.2 million, scoring 40 goals in 97 appearances for the Championship side.

In the 2023 summer window, Sporting spent 21 million euros to sign Djekereish, and the 25-year-old Swede has since ushered in the highlight of his career, scoring 36 goals and 14 assists in 39 appearances so far this season, and even surpassing Kane, Mbappe, Haaland and other gods, with an average of 1 goal per 64 minutes.

Dzhekeresh's value has soared from €13 million to €55 million in half a season, and he has signed a contract with Sporting until 2028 for a penalty of €100 million. At present, the Swede has become a popular fried chicken in the transfer market, according to foreign media reports, 50 million euros is the starting price to open transfer negotiations, and the transaction price is expected to be around 80 million euros.

For Milan, the race for Djekereish also has its own advantages, and they will rely on Rafael Leao and Ibrahimovic to convince the player to join. Rafael Leao has been active in forging a friendship with Djekereish recently, scoring one goal each for their respective national teams in the just-concluded match between Portugal and Sweden, exchanging shirts and exchanging social media after the game.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Leao has played for the club. Before Milan signed Okafor last summer, Leao "hooked up" with Okafor when he played for Portugal and Switzerland, and after the Champions League match against Red Bull Salzburg, he had to contact him again and began to exchange text messages. Therefore, behind Milan's flash signing of Okafor, Qin Xiaogong has already completed the layout and laid a solid foundation.

Ibrahimovic will also play an even more important role. As the most prestigious centre-forward of the Swedish national team, Ibrahimovic is the most respected senior and idol of Djekereish. In the match between Sweden and Belgium in March 2023, Ibrahimovic also played 17 minutes with Djekereish, which was also the curtain call of Da Bongxian's national team, and it seems to have some inheritance.

After entering the management of Milan, Ibrahimovic was given extremely high power by his owner Cardinale, which can be understood as the club's "second-in-command", coupled with Bongxian's natural attraction to Swedish players, if he personally threw an olive branch, then Dzhekereish would hardly have a reason to refuse.

Although the player is relatively easy to win over, the biggest problem for Milan is the asking price of nearly 100 million euros for Sporting de Portugal. In order to raise enough money for the summer window, the Rossoneri will try to sell De Ketelaere, Saale Markles and Daniel Maldini on loan in order to recoup €40 million.
