CalcioMercato believe that AC Milan are now waiting for an official bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Krzysztof Piątek, after a loan offer was declined.
They loan without obligation to buy strategy appears to be a softening of Levy’s usual approach of taking inexpensive punts in the hope for outcomes that either include on field success and/or profit.
This guy is a number #9, an actual striker, in contrast to PSV Eindhoven’s Steven Bergwijn, who is versatile, but essentially an attacking winger. Which only serves to confuse me and perhaps others.
If reports are correct, and PSV and AC Milan are both only seeking €30million, surely Krzysztof is the better bet, given our ongoing striker situation?
Elsewhere. Christian Eriksen landed in Italy to a fair amount of commotion which appeared to be heavily supplied by members of the press.
Details of the final deal have been guessed at endlessly, so this blog will wait patiently for the complete terms to be formally announced.
