AC Milan are in talks over the signing of Niclas Fullkrug, but they are also negotiating the signing of another striker who is quite a bit younger.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, a Montenegrin is making quite an impression at Milan, just like Dejan Savicevic did many years ago. Milan are in talks over signing Andrej Kostic, a striker born in 2007 in Podgorica who plays for Partizan Belgrade.

He could be a reinforcement for the January window, which promises to be a busy one for Milan. The likely arrival of Fullkrug – a loan with an option to buy – could be followed by at least a couple of youngsters to bring to Milanello, including Juan Arizala.
Who is Kostic?
Kostic can play as a striker or a second striker. He’s physically imposing, standing at 1.88m tall, and he is growing rapidly. In the summer, he moved from Buducnost to Partizan, where he was compared to Dusan Vlahovic, and he settled in well.
This season, he’s already scored eight goals in the Serbian league, the team’s second-highest scorer. On September 5, he scored in the Italy-Montenegro U21 match played in La Spezia: it was the opening goal, though his country would lose 2-1.
Negotiations are underway but not finalised, so more will be known in the coming days. The value is likely between €5-10m, with Milan Futuro as his primary destination.
Kostic isn’t seen as being ready for the first team and, if he were to arrive, he would have minutes in Serie D with the chance to get himself noticed by Massimiliano Allegri.
Well go sign him. Kostic and Camarda will be either at futuro, loaned, benched or starter ready.
Awesome. Keep getting more and more foreign. We should change the name of the club soon.
He will be a Vlahovic or a Lazetic ?
is he good? can he contribute? if the answer is yes, the go for it. Otherwise, he’ll be another Lazetic
He has in combined tournaments on adult level played 746 minutes over 26 matches scoring 9 goals having a goal ratio of 1 goal pr. 83rd minute. Not bad for an 18 year old kid and he also has two international matches for the Montenegrin International team even though not scoring there yet.
I wouldn’t oppose a deal but not really sure its in his own interest ending up at the Futuro when he already has played cl qualifiers and is an international player.
He’s actually scoring for Partizan, unlike Vlahovic.
Nothing good comes out of Futuro; only ruining careers. He’s already a national team player, so either buy him for the main squad or do not bother at all.
