Milan to Try to Buy Very Expensive Club Brugge Star

Milan have enjoyed a nice start, but Gonçalo Ramos’ production hasn’t been satisfying so far, and the brass is contemplating pairing up with another striker and going after Nicolò Tresoldi in January already, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The marksman continues to fill his boots, as he’s logged 14 goals in 17 appearances this campaign. He had a hat-trick against Inter. He’s a well-known Rossoneri fan, which could influence his future.

On the other hand, Club Brugge always drive a hard bargain, and the valuation of Tresoldi will likely continue growing if he stays, so Milan would have to be willing to splurge to have a shot. His price tag already amounts to €50/60M.

The Rossoneri haven’t messed about when they really liked somebody last summer. They paid a premium to avoid bidding wars and hijacks. Plus, they could move early also because a few powerhouses, especially Bayern Munich, will throw their hat in the ring at the end of the campaign.

The two clubs cooked up a couple of deals together in recent years, involving Charles De Ketelaere and Ardon Jashari. However, talks dragged on for weeks, with little benefit for the suitors, who didn’t get a discount from the initial requests. Both managements are different now, though.

Ramos has been valuable for his hard work and ability to interplay with teammates, but his cost was way too high to be content with that. Still, while a pristine goal poacher always helps, their attack hasn’t been a problem. Splashes in other roles would lead to more meaningful upgrades. Plus, it wouldn’t be easy to accommodate two center-forwards balance-wise.
