AC Milan have started engineering a move for Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic, with the aim of bringing him to the club in the summer.
According to a report from Sport Mediaset’s Claudio Raimondi (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are serious about bringing Samardzic to the club in the summer and are starting the process early.
The 21-year-old Serbian is one of the best young midfielders in Serie A and seems destined to leave Udinese in the summer as he is ready for a greater challenge.
Milan do not need to sign a midfielder in January, and they are focused on bringing in a central defender.
Samardzic has got three goals and two assists in Serie A so far this season, which is impressive from midfield in a team that is not brimming with goals.
He scored in Milan’s 3-2 win over Udinese on Saturday night and he has really impressed Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada.
There may be a lot of competition for such a good player, but there may be an opportunity for Milan. Napoli are put off by the potential price, whilst Atalanta are focused on signing Charles De Ketelaere permanently from Milan.
Juventus seem to have turned their attention to Teun Koopmeiners and Ederson from Atalanta, so it may just be Inter and Milan fighting for Samardzic.
