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.
