AC Milan’s attempt to sign Samuel Chukwueze is facing obstacles as Porto’s Medhi Taremi emerges as a potential alternative to Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata for the Milan attack.

Chukwueze, the Nigerian forward, has been linked with a move to the Italian club, but despite his interest and Villarreal’s willingness, a deal has not materialized.

Villarreal’s president, Fernando Roig, expressed doubts about Milan’s interest, as the Rossoneri reportedly offered €25 million, including add-ons, while Villarreal values the player at €35 million.

Although Christian Pulisic is on his way from Chelsea, Milan seeks additional reinforcements for their front line.

While Morata was considered a primary candidate, confusion surrounds his release clause.

Due to complications with tax discounts and salary expenses, Milan is now exploring the possibility of signing FC Porto striker Taremi, who offers a more affordable option.

However, Taremi’s status as a non-EU player raises concerns since Milan has only one slot left for such players. As a result, alternative options like Gustav Tang Isaksen from Midtjylland have been identified.
