The summer transfer window has closed throughout Europe, but there are still moves in the works and plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Milan look to Guirassy, David
AC Milan have placed VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy on their transfer shortlist amid plans to sign a forward, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Rossoneri are keen to add attacking reinforcements in January, as well as find a long-term successor for Olivier Giroud. The France international turned 37 in September but remains a key figure in Milan’s squad, making 11 league appearances so far this season.
Guirassy, 27, has been one of the most prolific forwards in Europe so far this season having scored 15 goals in just nine league games, and that has seen clubs from outside of the Bundesliga begin to take notice.
The Guinea international has a release clause in his contract that can be triggered by a €17 million bid, but it is reported that Guirassy isn’t considering leaving Stuttgart until next summer — and Milan believes that there will be plenty of competition for his signature.
Canada international Jonathan David is another potential option for Stefano Pioli’s side and could be available for around €40m, though there are concerns with his recent drop in form. The 24-year-old struck 24 times in 37 Ligue 1 starts for Lille last season but has registered just two goals in 12 games this campaign.
Montpellier star Akor Adams is also said to be one of the other names under consideration.
