Wilfried Gnonto‘s days at Milanello appear to be numbered. The attacker, who has been training individually and separately from the main group despite being part of the squad, is clearly on the market. The Milan hierarchy are open to his departure and are waiting to see which destination materialises over the coming weeks.
Possible Destinations: Premier League at the Top
In recent hours, several rumours have emerged about clubs interested in Gnonto. At the top of the player’s wish list is the Premier League, where an English club has reportedly shown interest. The attacker has always set the English top flight as his primary ambition and, at this stage of his career, he is keen to make that leap.
Alternatively, Stuttgart in the Bundesliga has been mentioned — an ambitious and growing club that could offer him a central role. Udinese have also shown some curiosity, although an Italian destination is not the player’s preferred option.
The Price Tag: €8-10 Million to Recoup the Investment
Milan value Gnonto at between €8 and €10 million, a figure that broadly reflects the original outlay made in January 2025, when the club signed him from Monza in a very active winter window that also brought in João Félix, Santiago Gimenez and Sottil, in a bid to mount a league comeback that ultimately fell short of expectations.
The season proved to be a difficult one, and now Milan are turning the page under Amorim, aiming for a tighter and more functionally-built squad. Gnonto’s profile does not fit the Portuguese coach’s plans for the upcoming campaign.
A Parting Without Regrets, Eyes on the Future
Gnonto’s time at Milan has been short but intense. The player has undeniable qualities and will certainly find his ideal place in one of Europe’s top leagues. For Milan, his sale would represent a clean profit and the opportunity to reinvest in profiles better suited to the new coach’s tactical demands.
The transfer window is still long and the coming weeks will be crucial in defining Gnonto’s future. The priority is to find a solution that satisfies everyone: a player who wants regular playing time and a club looking to make the best use of available resources.
