According to reports from England, Milan has expressed interest in securing a permanent transfer for Callum Wilson from Newcastle United this month.

In the January transfer window, the Rossoneri actively sought a new center forward to serve as a long-term replacement for Olivier Giroud. Although they eventually settled for backup option Noah Okafor, Milan continues to search for a new number nine.

Newcastle has been a focal point in the transfer market recently, with Bayern Munich attempting to acquire Kieran Trippier, and Saudi side Al-Shabab working on a deal for Miguel Almiron. Darren Eales, the club’s CEO, stated in a recent press conference that “every player has their price.”

According to information provided by Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, Milan is exploring the possibility of signing Wilson. They may entice him away from Newcastle through a definitive transfer, and the striker is reportedly open to the idea of moving to Serie A.

Wilson, currently 31 years old with 18 months remaining on his contract with the Magpies, enjoyed a strong start to the season, netting seven goals in his first nine Premier League appearances. However, hamstring and calf injuries have disrupted his campaign.
