Who is Conrad Harder, striker chosen by Milan after Boniface’s rejection. A bet wanted by Furlani: his (young) career in numbers
Rejected and sent back to Germany Victor Boniface, who did not take it very well as the Bayer Leverkusen, . Born 2005, the last season with the Sporting Lisbon shirt after having grown up and matured in Danish football. 185 centimeters high, not a giant of the penalty area, but with great athleticism and a left foot described as a sufficiently technical and polite sufficiently, Harder responds in full to the economic and financial characteristics of the Milan of Redbird. On the techniques it will be seen, considering that Allegri would certainly have preferred a player ready to complete his tactical Risiko.
The shock departure in the championship against Cremonese triggered all the alarms in the Milan house. The feeling, however, is that two different languages speak of the technical area and society Unless the market finale will deliver an authentic reversal in the offensive department in which there are Santi Gimenez, an investment of 35 million euros burned in a spring, and the outdoor battery with the Lea and Pulisic above all.
Milan, how much the Harder bet costs
Conrad Harder is an operation for just over 40 million euros in five years. In short, a low cost choice confirm the numbers. The basis of the agreement with Sporting Lisbon provides for an expense of 24 million plus 3 of the bonus for the card while the young striker will have a 1.5 net contract until 2030. Many figures far from those necessary to bring Allegri’s favorite to Milanello (Dusan Vlahovic) or even just the alternative chased for weeks on the axis between Milan and Manchester and which responds to the name of Rasmus Hojlund.
On the Danese Maggiore (Hojlund) Napoli has been phyded down after Lukaku’s injury, but it was not only the sudden competition of the Neapolitans who curbed Milan: Harder’s choice confirms first of all the setting of the Rossoneri strategiesnot even modified from the last disappointing season that caused the lack of qualifying for the Champions League.
Who is Conrad Harder: the career and statistics
Harder took the first steps in the Copenhagen youth sector To then move, still a teenager, to Nordsjaellandconsidered a more functional club to develop its talent. The first team debut dates back to June 2023 with a rapid rise behind the representative under 17 and 19: the average of almost a goal per game and the stages burned quickly.
The first season with the adults inherits a booty of 9 goals and 4assists in 38 appearances but, above all, the image of a more mature footballer of his age, physically ready and with a very hard character.
Trying to compare it to other attackers in circulation is a mistake. also a product of Northern Europe football.
Harder and the nickname ‘Mosquito’
His nickname is Mosquito (mosquito) and remained stuck by a trip to African land with the boys of Nordsjaelland. The Danish is afraid of insects but, applied its game characteristics, the nickname also describes the ability to be annoying for the defenses.
Harder, the landing at Sporting Lisbon and the explosion
In the summer of 2024 he was chosen by Sporting Lisbon who prepared the farewell, which took place in recent weeks, of GyoKeres. In Harder the Portuguese managers saw the same qualities as the player who ended up now in Arsenal and for this reason they invested 19 million euros obtaining in the debut season, without being the owner, a more than discreet loot: 13 goals and 10 assists in 2131 minutes in the field spread over 54 appearances.
Milan’s bet is to have intercepted the talent of a footballer in time who, in case of explosion in Portugal, would hardly have been approaching in the future. The risk is not having Allegri with the central tip needed to complete his tactical design.
