AC Milan are one of two Serie A teams who are interested in signing FC Midtjylland winger Gustav Isaksen, according to a report.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan have turned to another Midtjylland player after negotiating over Raphael Onyedika during the summer mercato in Gustav Isaksen. The winger was one of the stars of the show last night as the Danish side beat Lazio 5-1 in the Europa League.
He earned two penalties with his trickery and skilful dribbling, scoring one of them himself. The Denmark U21 international raised his tally to 5 goals and 1 assist in 15 games across all competitions so far in the 2022-23 campaign, and he is beginning to attract some attention.
However, Milan face competition from Fiorentina and the Premier League, as Svend Graversen – the sporting director of Midtjylland – confirmed recently.
“We have already said no to the 15 million offered by a Premier League club at the end of the last transfer market because the player is worth a lot more,” he said.
Isaksen himself though seems to have suggested that he would be open to a move to Serie A at some point in the future because he is in love with the country.
“What do I like about Italy? I’ve played three tournaments there in the past with our youth teams. I love this country, your climate and above all the cuisine. In particular the ravioli. And then it seems to me a league suitable for me. If I could choose [to move there] I would have no doubts,” he said.
