AC Milan have previously been linked to Kerim Alajbegovic, but with his first World Cup goal, they are renewing that interest.
It seems increasingly likely that Milan want to build a team for the present and future. So, they want to build players within a certain bracket who are still young enough to skyrocket in value and ability, but old enough to be considered a player with ‘enough’ experience.

Alajbegovic, then, fits that, even if he is only 18 years old. Indeed, he has shone with RB Salzburg this season and now at the World Cup, he is proving that he is more than good enough.
A second go?
Claudio Raimondi spoke on SportMediaset, via MilanNews, and discussed the situation regarding the revived interest in the Bosnian.
“Milan have returned to a player they followed in recent months when Igli Tare was still sporting director, namely Kerim Alajbegovic, a 2007-born winger from Salzburg and Bosnia who costs €22 million.
“AC Milan will attempt, knowing that other clubs, both Italian (Roma and Atalanta) and English (Newcastle and Aston Villa), are also interested in the young Bosnian talent.”
After his goal, there will be plenty of competition for the exciting youngster. So, it may be a challenge to bring him to San Siro. However, their interest can only be seen as a good start…
It will be closer to 50M€, not 22.
He is after Jamal best kid at world at this moment.
If we smart we will buy him now.I will replace Leao with Alajbegovic imediatelly
The better he plays in World Cup the less chance he will join Milan. I think after that goal it is already 0 % chance for Milan.
Amazing player
swap for santi?
What swap are you talking about? This guy isn’t a striker.
ah yes, we all know the best transfer decisions are made on the basis of a single World Cup goal
Too late for him now. Should have acted before the WC if they wanted him.
