AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly tasked the club’s board with signing a “20-goal striker” this summer to rectify a decade-long lack of clinical finishing at the San Siro.
Massimiliano Allegri is pushing AC Milan management to secure a world-class center-forward capable of decisive performances in Serie A and the Champions League.
Since Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 28-goal haul in the 2011-12 season, the Rossoneri have failed to field a player hitting the 20-goal milestone.
Recent expensive acquisitions, including Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku, have reportedly disappointed, leaving the club’s hierarchy searching for a more reliable successor.
The scouting mission is intensified by the fact that Ibrahimovic, the last man to achieve the feat, is now part of the directorial team making the selection.
History shows near-misses from Carlos Bacca and Jeremy Menez, but current options like Alvaro Morata have struggled to provide the necessary volume.
Allegri’s request highlights a critical tactical need as Milan prepares for the 2026-27 campaign.
