Piatek Who Wants To Compete With Ibra
JAKARTA - Since Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival, the name that has been heavily rumored to leave AC Milan is Krzysztof Piatek. But the Polish bomber said he wanted to test his sharpness with Ibra, at least until the end of the 2019/2020 season.
Most recently, as reported by Calciomercato on Saturday January 4, Piatek has reportedly rejected proposals from two clubs that came to him at the beginning of the January 2020 transfer window.
Piatek, who joined AC Milan in January 2019, started his career at the San Siro brilliantly. During the second half of last season, he made 11 goals in 21 appearances for the Rossonerri.
This makes Piatek predicted to be a Milan star this season. However, his performance this season seems to have declined considerably. Of the 15 appearances in the 2019-20 Serie A season, Piatek was only able to score four goals.
Milan has just brought in a top bomber, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This could certainly lead to Piatek being displaced from Stefano Pioli's first team.
This situation has made a number of clubs such as former Piatek team, Genoa to Crystal Palace try to persuade the 24-year-old player to leave the San Siro in January. However, Piatek has already rejected the two proposals.
There were also rumors that Milan and AS Roma held talks about the possibility of swapping Piatek with Diego Perotti. However, this is believed to have been denied.
Piatek is claimed to have confirmed his determination to compete with Ibrahimovic for a prime spot at Milan's spearhead post in the second half of this season.
Piatek will stay at Milan until the end of this season and then analyze the offers that come from other clubs in the transfer market next summer.
