Serie A giants AC Milan may look to sign 28-year-old English striker Dominic Solanke on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Italian outlet Milan Live, Dominic Solanke is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the winter transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward has emerged as a target for the Rossoneri.
The report has suggested that the Englishman has been on AC Milan’s radar for a long time. However, a move in the winter transfer window may only materialise on a loan arrangement until the end of the 2025/26 season with a purchase option.
Dominic Solanke and his struggles at Tottenham
Dominic Solanke has struggled to make his mark since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Bournemouth in a deal worth €70 million in August 2024. The 28-year-old arrived at the North London club with hype and fanfare surrounding him after an exceptional 2023/24 campaign, where he was one of the highest scorers in the Premier League.
The English striker has also struggled with fitness issues, and he has managed only 16 goals and eight assists in 48 appearances thus far for Tottenham. With Solanke’s fitness issues not easing in the 2025/26 season, his long-term future at the North London club is uncertain. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of AC Milan.
Serie A adventure beckons?
AC Milan’s interest in Dominic Solanke is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a striker heading into the winter transfer window, as Christopher Nkunku has struggled to make his mark since arriving from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Additionally, Santiago Gimenez has been inconsistent in his first year with AC Milan. So, the Rossoneri must dip into the market for a striker in the winter transfer window. Solanke has thus emerged as a viable target for AC Milan, with the Serie A outfit mulling over a loan deal with a purchase option to land the 28-year-old Englishman.
However, it is unclear if Tottenham will be open to sanctioning Solanke’s exit on loan in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English international amid his links with AC Milan.
