CM.it: Milan and Inter both retain interest in signing Atalanta centre-back

AC Milan have been linked with Merih Demiral extensively in the past and it seems that they are still interested in signing him, a report claims.

As reported by Calciomercato.it, Demiral is a target for Inter who tried to sign him in the January window in the event Milan Skriniar left the club, and the Nerazzurri will still need to replace the Slovakia international plus Stefan de Vrij as well in all likelihood.

However, Demiral also seems to be ideal for Milan’s three-man rearguard and in June the Rossoneri could evaluate an offer to Atalanta for the Turkish centre-back, formerly of Juventus.

The 25-year-old – whose contract expires in 2025 – is not one of Gasperini’s first choices and his future could be far from Bergamo. Inter and Milan are both circling, sensing a chance to bolster their defensive depth with the signing of a player who knows the league very well.
