CM: Milan meet with agent of €23m Lille winger and Croatian playmaker compared to Modric

There is no time for pause at the moment as AC Milan’s market continues to proceed full steam ahead, with an interesting meeting today.

A video has emerged showing agent Marco Branca from the agency FIRS1 Sports arriving at Casa Milan this morning. What is perhaps most significant about this news is that Branca works with clients who have been repeatedly linked with Milan over the past couple of windows.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara met Branca to discuss several young players but in particular two profiles very popular with the Rossoneri: Jonathan Ikoné of Lille and Lovro Majer of Dinamo Zargreb.

Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund are big admirers of the former, who is valued at €23m after a season in which he won Ligue 1, and a percentage on future resale should be added to that too. It is a figure that Milan, at the moment, considers excessive.

Majer however could be a real opportunity. The 23-year-old playmaker has been compared to Luka Modric in Croatia after a season with 8 goals and 7 assists in 31 league games. Milan will reiterate their interest and ask for information on the price as he is a profile which falls within the parameters set by Elliott.
