Wolverhampton Wanderers should consider a move for the reportedly available AC Milan striker.

According to a report from Calcio Mercato, AC Milan are prepared to sell Nikola Kalinic this summer, and the 30-year-old would be the ideal signing for Wolves.

The Croatian forward moved to the San Siro from Fiorentina on loan in the summer of 2017, and the Rossoneri have an obligation to buy clause of around €25 million (£22 million) inserted into the deal.

Kalinic has struggled to find his feat in Milan, however, scoring just five goals in 35 outings in all competitions, and Calcio Mercato claim that the Serie A giants are prepared to sanction his exit this summer.

According to the Italian publication, they are so desperate to get rid of the 30-year-old that they are prepared to sell him for just €15 million (£13.2 million) – a £9 million loss on what they paid for him.

The former Blackburn Rovers man still has a lot to offer at the very highest level, though, and would undoubtedly bring a lot to Wolves’ attacking play.

Standing at 6ft 1in tall, Kalinic is very strong in the air, and excels when playing with his back to goal. He would act as a fantastic focal point for Wolves to build their attacking play from, and his intelligent movement would create space for his teammates.

For the reported fee of just £13.2 million, Wolves could secure themselves a real bargain by signing the Croatia international, and if Nuno Espirito Santo does manage to bring him to Molineux, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Black Country outfit.
