Manager Massimiliano Allegri is prioritising a new centre-forward as part of the summer overhaul.
Milan are lacking a reliable backup for Santiago Gimenez, having parted ways with Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic. Noah Okafor and Alvaro Morata could follow suit, as they are not in the club’s plans.
The Rossoneri also want the incoming striker to provide competition for Gimenez, who has failed to find his footing since his move from Feyenoord.
Embolo has emerged as the latest name on Milan’s wishlist, and he could be available for a cheaper price with his contract expiring next summer.
The Ligue 1 giants value him at around €20 million, but the Rossoneri could look to take advantage of his contractual situation and bring down the fee.
The Swiss striker has established himself as a key member of Monaco since his transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2022.
The 28-year-old bagged seven goals and nine assists last season, helping the Principality Club qualify for the Champions League.
He is also a regular for the Swiss national team, scoring in back-to-back friendlies against Mexico and the USA last month.
Embolo is a traditional target man due to his strong build, but he is also excellent with his link-up play.
The Swiss star hasn’t reached the elite level, but he can progress his career further by playing for a club like Milan.
The Rossoneri have also shortlisted Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic as potential striker targets.
