AC Milan could soon make a move to sign West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca, who is primed to return to Italy after just one year in England with the Irons.

According to journalist Paolo Bargiggia, the Rossoneri are in the market for a centre-forward, with the 24-year-old West Ham star a player who could soon become an option for Milan ahead of the summer window, with the Italian international believed to be open on moving back to Serie A.

The transfer insider said on the San Siro giants moving for the Hammers star: “Milan must aim to buy one or two strikers for next season. I would say that the Rossoneri could move for Scamacca. An Italian footballer with a desire for revenge. They could try to get him on a year’s loan from West Ham.”

With Milan looking for a long-term striker, Scamacca could be an ideal option this summer for the UEFA Champions League semi-finalists, especially with the West Ham man keen on a move back to Italy after a disappointing first year in the Premier League.

Indeed, having torn up Serie A with Sassuolo and established himself as one of the most exciting talents in Italy, Scamacca looked ready to take his game to a new level with West Ham. However, the striker curse has seemingly befallen the 24-year-old, who could now be ready for a return home.

And with gears now turning for Milan over a potential move, Scamacca could soon find himself back in Italy and playing for one of the biggest teams in the country, with European football a massive bonus for the forward considering West Ham’s failures in the league this season.

Scamacca should be desperate to sign for Milan this summer

With Milan in the Champions League semi-finals and Stefano Pioli’s side looking to strengthen this summer to challenge for the Scudetto next season, things are looking bright for the Rossoneri, and Scammaca will be praying that he can win himself a move to the San Siro this summer.

The Italian giants are in need of a striker with Olivier Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the end of their careers, and Scamacca could be the perfect option given his frame, qualities and his previous record in Serie A, with West Ham likely to sanction a deal in the upcoming window.
