Massaro suggests that Zirkzee could emulate Milan legend: 'It will be difficult'

AC Milan are on the hunt for a new striker this summer, and iconic striker Daniele Massaro offered his thoughts on one of the targets that the Rossoneri are dreaming of this summer. 

Olivier Giroud departing the club only added depth to the idea that Milan needed to invest in a striker this summer, and with confirmation of the Frenchman’s next destination, the Diavolo cannot waste time in their search for a new No.9.

Two names have remained prominent throughout their search, Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee, and it seemed as though the latter option was unfeasible due to a rising price tag. However, reports yesterday have suggested that the Rossoneri may still have a chance of securing the Dutchman.

It was revealed that the striker has a €40 million release clause, open to everyone, and whilst this will please Milan, it will also have piqued the interest of other interested teams.

Massaro spoke to reporters at the Scuola Militare Teuliè in Milan about Zirkzee’s quality, and his words have been relayed by MilanNews.

Zirkzee, in your opinion, has that elegance there?

“Well, Van Basten is there, he can get there, it will be very difficult, but he can get there.”
