Man Utd looking for 'super striker'May fall back on AC Milan targetForward has €52m release clauseFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Florence newspaper Corriere Fiorentino, via Sport Witness, United and Milan have Fiorentina striker Moise Kean on their transfer shortlist this summer. The Red Devils are said to be trying to sign one of the 'super strikers' on the market but if not, they can turn to Kean – who has a €52m (£44.5m) release clause. Those super strikers are not named but may include Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres, and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.

United are in desperate need of a clinical striker after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to fire in front of goal this season. The Red Devils may try and cash in on the faltering forwards and perhaps Kean – who scored 25 goals for Fiorentina this term – would be the right man to lead their attack. However, that is no easy task.

The report adds that Fiorentina are hoping the Italy international, who has reportedly been offered a €15m (£12.8m) salary by Saudi Pro League team Al-Qadsiah, stays at the Serie A team for next season after reigniting his career there.

Kean, who scored just 14 goals in 102 games in his second spell at Juventus before finding his shooting boots at Fiorentina from 2024 onwards, could be the subject of transfer bids in the coming weeks and months.
