Former Real Madrid boss, Fabio Capello, has questioned AC Milan’s choice to bring in Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, instead of pursuing Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund.
Boniface, currently completing his medicals, is set to join the Rossoneri on loan with an option to buy.
Speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello argued that Milan should have gone for Hojlund, highlighting the Dane’s familiarity with Serie A.
“Milan should do the same with Allegri as Napoli did with Conte.
“Targeted signings, and a whole new spine. From Buongiorno to McTominay to Lukaku, a guarantee at centre-forward.
“But the move for a new centre-forward has gone down a different route. Because, after a long negotiation with Hojlund, the Rossoneri have turned to Boniface, gambling on a technically gifted striker, but one that has been stopped too often due to physical problems.
“In addition, the Nigerian coming in from Bayer Leverkusen will need time to settle into Serie A, while the Dane from Manchester United would have been a ready-to-go striker given his experience with Atalanta.”
