AC Milan’s transfer plans are heating up, with former star Zlatan Ibrahimovic dropping tantalizing hints about a possible new signing with Alvaro Morata. The Swedish legend, now serving as an advisor to RedBird Capital, recently spoke at a press conference introducing Paulo Fonseca as the team’s new coach.
When questioned about Milan’s transfer strategy, Ibrahimovic carefully chose his words. “We’re taking a measured approach,” he explained.
“The transfer window is long, and I can assure you that new signings will arrive.” He added, “We’re in active discussions, but nothing is finalized yet.”
Interestingly, Ibrahimovic’s comments came shortly after Italian media began speculating about AC Milan’s interest in Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata. While Ibrahimovic didn’t mention Morata by name, he confirmed that the club had a specific target in mind.
“We missed out on Zirkee,” Ibrahimovic revealed, referring to Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee. “However, we’ve identified another player. I won’t disclose the name, but there’s definitely someone in our sights.”
The Milan legend also shed light on the club’s overall transfer philosophy. “To bring in new players, we must first create space,” he emphasized. “Our goal isn’t to have an oversized squad of 30 players. Instead, we’re aiming for a more focused group of 23.”
Ibrahimovic further elaborated on this strategy, stating, “It’s crucial to consider not only incoming transfers but also outgoing ones. We don’t want to burden the coach with too many non-functional players.”
As AC Milan fans eagerly await news of potential signings, Ibrahimovic’s comments have certainly fueled speculation. While the identity of their target remains a mystery, the club’s careful approach to transfers suggests they’re determined to make impactful additions to the squad.
With the transfer window still open, all eyes will be on AC Milan to see how their plans unfold. Will Morata be the mystery signing Ibrahimovic hinted at? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: exciting times lie ahead for the Rossoneri faithful.
