According to Calciomercato.com, Milan want to sign the 17-year-old Popovic from Partizan Belgrade. The young striker is fast, very technical and ‘stylistically beautiful to look at’, while he stands at 1.96m tall making him an imposing presence.
Milan have been watching the Serbia youth international for some time and they moved concretely to try and sign him, hoping to close a very interesting deal for the future as soon as possible.
Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio have worked decisively with Popovic’s father and are aware that they are at a good stage in the negotiations. The final details must be resolved to complete the agreement, and he would arrive on a free transfer as his deal with Partizan expires on 31 December.
The Rossoneri are very cautious because until the signatures on the contracts arrive, anything can still happen considering that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona are also interested in the teenager. However, much of the work has been done and the feeling is it will get over the line.
