The overhaul of the AC Milan attack this month with younger players appears set to continue after they started talks over a move for Charleroi’s Victor Osimhen.

A new transfer approach implemented by Ivan Gazidis and Leonardo has resulted in the Rossoneri focused on players under the age of 25 with great potential, as evidenced by the acquisitions of Lucas Paqueta and Krzystof Piatek.

According to TMW, the Rossoneri are now keen on adding Osimhen, who is on loan in Belgium from Wolfsburg, to that list and are discussing a move for the 20-year-old.

The Nigerian forward is valued at €15 million and Milan are pushing for an initial loan deal until the end of the campaign before making the move permanent in the summer for a fee that corresponds Wolfsburg’s price tag.

If the Rossoneri are to bring him on a six-month loan before the transfer window closes, it would reportedly cost them €3m.

Osimhen has been in impressive form at Charleroi this season, scoring 10 times and providing two assists in 20 appearances in all competitions.
