Milan Dreams of Lewandowski as Striker Search Continues
AC Milan is reportedly gearing up to sign a new center-forward this summer, with Barcelona's star striker Robert Lewandowski emerging as their primary "dream" target. The Rossoneri are keen to bolster their attacking options after a period where current forwards have not consistently delivered.
Lewandowski's contract with the La Liga giants is believed to be expiring at the end of the current season, potentially making him available on a free transfer. While his substantial salary at Camp Nou presents a significant hurdle, Milan plans to closely monitor the Polish international's situation in the coming weeks. Barcelona is expected to propose a one-year contract extension, but Lewandowski's future at the club remains undecided.
Adding another layer to their transfer strategy, Milan is also said to be open to selling their star winger, Rafael Leao, this summer if offers of at least €50 million are received. This potential sale could provide significant funds for their pursuit of a new striker and other transfer targets.
