AC Milan remain in negotiations with Udinese over Lazar Samardzic but they have seen their first offer for him rejected, according to one journalist.
Samardzic is not a new name for Milan given that they were linked with him even when he was playing for Hertha BSC’s second team before moving to RB Leipzig, and in the last few days things have really begun to heat up again on that front.
According to Orazio Accomando of DAZN, the Milan directors put forward a bid worth €16m to try and sign the 22-year-old, but it was considered insufficient by the Friulian club.
The matter is still being discussed between the two clubs at the moment, with Milan now evaluating the inclusion of a counterpart to try to get closer to the requested asking price.
Of the names that the Rossoneri could put forward, it seems that Udinese’s ‘favourite’ at the moment is Tommaso Pobega, a midfielder who seems to be facing an uncertain future at Milan.
It comes after Udinese director Gianluca Nani confirmed earlier today that there have been talks with Milan over the Serbian playmaker but he claimed that no offer has arrived yet, and that they want to keep him but they would do business at the right price.
