AC Milan has escalated their efforts to sign Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy by increasing their communication with the player to gauge his interest level.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), AC Milan is strategizing to maintain flexibility in their pursuit of strikers for the upcoming summer transfer window, with Serhou Guirassy being one of the candidates under consideration. Guirassy emerges as an economical option for Milan, given his €17.5 million release clause, although he is comparatively older at 28 years of age and his adaptation to Italian football remains uncertain.
Milan’s interest in Guirassy could serve as a contingency plan should negotiations with other targets such as Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna or Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig fail to materialize. With Guirassy’s impressive record of 25 Bundesliga goals in 24 appearances this season, along with two goals in the DFB Pokal, he has garnered attention from various clubs across Europe, making his release clause activation a possibility in the near future.
The departure of Olivier Giroud to LAFC creates a pressing need for Milan to secure a goal-scoring striker this summer, prompting them to explore various options, including Guirassy, to strengthen their attacking line.
