Transfer Market: Gonçalo Ramos on the list, but Amorim has another preferred target

AC Milan continues to prepare for the upcoming season, and Ruben Amorim has reportedly identified his priority target for the attack. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Portuguese coach considers it essential to sign a striker who fits his system, with Nicolas Jackson emerging as a prime target for the Rossoneri.

The 25-year-old Senegalese international, currently with Chelsea, has returned to Stamford Bridge after a loan spell at Bayern. Although not an undisputed starter for the German side, Jackson finished the season with eight goals in the Bundesliga, three in the Champions League, and four assists. These numbers keep the forward highly rated in the European market.

Milan officials are now exploring various options to convince Chelsea, with a loan deal including an option or obligation to buy being one of the possibilities on the table. The strong relationship between the two clubs could facilitate negotiations. In recent years, Milan and Chelsea have completed several deals involving players such as Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud, and João Félix.

However, Jackson isn't the only name on Ruben Amorim's Milan shortlist. Gonçalo Ramos, the PSG forward, also remains on the Italians' radar, though that operation is considered more complex and expensive. For now, Chelsea's Senegalese striker appears to be the frontrunner to lead the Rossoneri's attack in the new era under the Portuguese coach.
