AC Milan have set their sights on Dusan Vlahovic in view of next summer, and reports suggest that they are growing in optimism.
As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) write, Milan finalised the signing of Niclas Füllkrug in the past few hours. The German, who arrives on a free loan until June from West Ham with a €5m option to buy, won’t be the only attacking move for the Rossoneri.
The management are close to completing the deal for Andrej Kostic, an 18-year-old centre-forward who is currently scoring regularly for the first team at Partizan Belgrade. The deal, worth around €5m, is expected to be completed fairly quickly.
The big summer target
The paper add that the big name signing for the attack will have to wait until the summer. The name that is always at the top of Massimiliano Allegri’s list of favourites is Vlahovic, whose contract is expiring and will therefore leave Juventus on a free transfer at the end of this season.
La Repubblica (via MilanNews) go one further on the Vlahovic front, adding that his agent is Darko Ristic, who also represents Kostic. Therefore, the two names were discussed in parallel over the past few days and weeks.
Taking advantage of the excellent relationship they have with the well-known agent, Milan have reportedly ‘secured’ the Serbian on a free transfer for next summer.
Ok hope the last sentence is not fake
But it says reppublica so I’m not sure
Im suspecting the Kostic signing for Futuro is one of the bartering chips for goodwill from his agent. As we likely cant compete financially with some other European (or Saudi) clubs who will offer frankly stupid sign-on fees
So we have to try a different avenue. Will see if hes keen to stay in Serie A rather than go where the money is, as these days even low ranked EPL teams can outspend us
