Milan have once again been linked with Fiorentina midfielder Milan Badelj with the Croatian’s contract running out at the end of the season. Fiorentina are likely to be willing to sell with the player’s free agency looming.

This is not the first time Badelj has been heavily linked with a move to Milano; he was subjected to a long pursuit one summer ago by the previous Milan management and former director Adriano Galliani.

A Croatian international, 28-year-old Badelj moved to Fiorentina from Hamburg in the summer of 2013 and has been a key player at the heart of midfield for the Viola ever since.

Milan will reportedly face competition from the likes of top English side Tottenham Hotspur for the signing of Badelj
