Jacobone: RB Leipzig midfielder flattered by Milan interest but would prefer Bayern move

AC Milan are admirers of RB Leipzig star Marcel Sabitzer but the player for the moment has other destinations in mind, according to one journalist.

According to MilanNews, the Rossoneri management are looking to sign the following before the window shuts: a deputy right-back, a fourth choice central midfielder, a new right winger, an attacking midfielder and a young third-choice striker.

Interestingly, Sabitzer was listed among a few other targets for the attacking midfielder role given that his contract with Leipzig expires in June 2022 making him a market opportunity to add an experienced Champions League performer.

According to the latest from Alessandro Jacobone, Sabitzer is indeed a profile that the Rossoneri management and head coach Stefano Pioli hold in high esteem. However, even though the 27-year-old Austria international is flattered by the interest, he has other projects on the table and is currently more enticed by the possibility of joining Bayern Munich.
