Former Italy international Aldo Serena has cast doubt on AC Milan's reported interest in Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth, questioning whether the Norwegian forward is the right solution to the Rossoneri's attacking struggles.
Serena, who played for Milan, Inter, and Juventus during his storied career, took to social media after watching Sorloth struggle in Atletico's 1-0 Champions League loss to Arsenal on Tuesday night. The 30-year-old came off the bench in the second half but missed a golden opportunity, miskicking the ball inside the penalty area when it seemed easier to score.
"Milan, are we sure?" Serena wrote on X, sharing a post that has since sparked debate among fans and pundits alike.
The timing of Serena's skepticism is notable, as Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Sorloth has emerged as Milan's primary attacking target for the upcoming transfer window. The Rossoneri have reportedly been put off by the high wage demands of other targets like Dusan Vlahovic and Robert Lewandowski, making Sorloth a more financially viable option.
According to reports, Sorloth has already given his approval to join the Serie A giants, though Milan have yet to reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid. The Norway international has been in solid form this season, scoring 19 goals in 50 appearances across all competitions, and his contract with the Spanish side runs until June 2028.
For Milan fans hoping to see their club return to the summit of Italian football, Serena's warning serves as a reminder that not every big-name signing guarantees success. As the summer window approaches, the question remains: is Sorloth the missing piece for Milan's attack, or just another gamble?
