DBasia.news – AC Milan has started preparing to look forward to the days without the mainstay of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. A name from Italy who also plays in Serie A has entered the transfer radar of Il Rossoneri.
According to Tuttosport, the striker in question was Andrea Belotti, a Torino striker. 27 years old Belotti is at the prime age of a European footballer and playing in Milan is the ideal option to maintain his level of play.
Ibrahimovic this season has been fantastic with Milan so that the club has the chance to win the Scudetto. However, the public must not forget that he is 39 years old. Sooner or later Ibra will decide to retire.
Ibrahimovic has so far scored 16 goals and provided two assists in 17 matches in all competitions. Anticipating the potential for days without Ibrahimovic, Milan are also aiming for Belotti, who has scored 11 goals in 21 matches in all competitions this season.
Belotti, who has defended Torino from 2015 after moving from Palermo, has a big profile in Italy. His ability to convert opportunities into goals, aerial balls, makes him the ideal target man on the front lines.
Belotti’s contract will last until June 2022 with Torino. But Belotti, who has been targeted by Manchester United, could be interested in trying new adventures. Moreover, Milan is on the rise with Stefano Pioli.
Torino wants to extend his contract, but they must be able to offer a promising project, because Urbano Cairo’s team is far from the European zone and also has the potential to win trophies. It is difficult for Torino to maintain its flagship player.
