Reports: Milan will have to battle Real Madrid for signing of Atalanta striker

AC Milan are going to have to do battle with current European champions Real Madrid if they are to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer, a report claims.

As has been reported by various outlets in Spain (via Calciomercato.com), there is lots of interest in the Danish striker who has been one of the most impressive players in Serie A this season.

He has spearheaded the Atalanta attack as La Dea have overcome a poor start to the season and are now firmly in the fight for Champions League qualification.

Juventus and Milan have been linked with a move for Hojlund but now it seems that Real Madrid, fresh from their 5-2 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, are also chasing the striker.

The 20-year-old has scored six goals and got two assists in 19 Serie A games this season, as well as a goal in the Coppa Italia earlier in the campaign.
