Milan have Moise Kean at the top of their preferences for the no.9 role, but the success of the operation will go through Fiorentina’s demands. The Rossoneri won’t activate his €60M release clause and will seek a discount, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
They believe that the striker’s valuation should be significantly lower, considering his modest numbers this season. He has notched 8 goals in 24 tilts in 2024/2025, has often being hampered by a lingering ankle problem and the Viola’s struggles.
Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri and Kean are well acquainted, given their time together at Juventus. The gaffer trusted the marksman more than those who came before and after him in Turin, fielding him 102 times over the span of 3 campaigns. The striker hadn’t leveled yet and hit the net 14 times over that timeframe.
The Italian international makes €4.5M following his latest renewal. It’s a massive number for Fiorentina, while it’s more manageable for top clubs. In addition, he’s already tight with Rafael Leao.
On the other hand, there could be other factors standing in the way. Per Corriere dello Sport’s director Ivan Zazzaroni (via Tuttomercatoweb), director Fabio Paratici is irked by what happened with the Rossoneri, which left him at the altar, and might refuse to do business with them.
Our Take on Milan and Kean
It’s a match made in heaven stylistically, but, besides the possible pettiness, the Viola have no reason to take a low-ball offer. If he doesn’t want to stick around after a hellish season, which would be understandable for both parties, it wouldn’t be hard to get a lot more money from abroad. The Rossoneri have never spent more than €40M on a player in recent years. Perhaps it should, but it might not be enough.
