AC Milan are interested in signing FC Metz forward Georges Mikautadze and have even tabled a bid, according to a report.
According to Footmercato, there is a chance that Mikautadze leaves Metz this summer after a season in which he shone in Ligue 2. He has been nominated for player of the year in the French second division having scored 24 goals and amassed eight assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.
His qualities and his attacking output have understandably caught the eye of some clubs who are testing the water ahead of the summer window, and Milan are among them.
The source claims that the Rossoneri have made ‘good progress’ in the negotiations and have even sent an offer with €10m. Paolo Maldini spoke several times with the player, who could be loaned back to Metz in the event they are promoted to Ligue 2.
However, newly-promoted Burnley under head coach Vincent Kompany are also convinced by the talent of the 22-year-old.
