Milan Eyes Kean Amid Transfer Drama
24 Feb
Summary
- Milan is targeting Moise Kean as a striker for the summer transfer window.
- Kean's release clause is €62 million, valid only in early July.
- Fiorentina might require the release clause to be met for a transfer.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Milan is actively seeking a new number nine. Following unsuccessful attempts to sign Niclas Fullkrug and Jean-Philippe Mateta, striker Moise Kean has become a prominent name on their shortlist. Massimiliano Allegri, who previously coached Kean at Juventus, is reportedly eager for a reunion.
Kean, currently with Fiorentina, has had a mixed performance, with 8 goals in 23 Serie A appearances in the 2024/2025 season. His contract was renegotiated last year, increasing his release clause to €62 million. This clause is exclusively valid during the first two weeks of July, presenting a critical deadline for potential suitors.
Fiorentina might be reluctant to negotiate unless the release clause is activated. While Kean's annual salary of €4.5 million is manageable for Milan, securing a transfer could hinge on meeting the substantial buyout figure. Milan is exploring alternative proposals, potentially including a €30-35 million offer plus young prospect Francesco Camarda and a future buy-back option.
Dusan Vlahovic appears to be no longer a target, possibly due to high salary demands from his representatives. Fiorentina may consider selling their star player to fund squad rebuilding after a disappointing season, but triggering Kean's release clause remains a difficult prospect for Italian clubs.
