Ibrahimovic was full of praise for the winger yet again this week, stating how he seems to be above what the expectations are for him, as MilanNews relays.
“The most important thing is courage. An 18-year-old at a World Cup, under pressure, in front of millions of spectators, plays like he owns the stadium. That’s rare. He’s not the typical young player who just hoped to have a good game.”
However, he is not the only one with an admiration for the young Bosnian talent.
Competition for Alajbegovic
Corriere dello Sport, as cited in the MilanNews article, report that the World Cup has blown his profile up massively and several teams are interested. The Rossoneri – who were fans before Ibrahimovic’s admiration – are of course involved, as are Roma.
The fact that he would fit the RedBird model is another draw for the club too. After all, he is already superb and he certainly has the potential to improve further. Whilst he is still cheap enough, the Diavolo could invest in the hopes of a future profit.
If not to sell, they could also secure a potentially world-class player before he gets there.
