AC Milan are intensifying their efforts to pursue Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy by deepening their communication with him to gauge his level of interest. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are aiming to keep their options open regarding strikers as they approach the summer transfer window, with Guirassy being among the prospects under consideration.
- Guirassy presents a cost-effective option for Milan, as he possesses a release clause of €17.5m. However, it’s worth noting that at 28 years old, he is older than other potential targets, and there are uncertainties about his ability to replicate his form from Stuttgart in the Italian league.
Milan may seek to maintain Guirassy’s interest as a fallback plan in case they are unable to secure deals for other targets like Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna or Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Given Guirassy’s impressive record of 25 Bundesliga goals in 24 appearances this season, along with his two goals in the DFB Pokal, interest in him from various clubs across Europe is high, potentially leading to his release clause being triggered swiftly.
With Olivier Giroud departing for LAFC, Milan’s need for a prolific striker this summer becomes even more pressing, underscoring the importance of securing a suitable replacement.
