Jan-Carlo Simic could end up back in Serie A as soon as the January transfer window, and AC Milan have a vested interest.
Simic joined Milan in the summer of 2022 from VfB Stuttgart in Germany and it was clear at the time that it was an impressive coup. He would captain the Primavera side initially, before getting some call-ups for the senior side.

The 19-year-old made his first first team appearance in December 2023 and not only that, he scored against Monza off the bench, something he has called a dream moment since departing the club. He left for Anderlecht, believing he was ready for more regular starts.
Lazio want Simic: Milan watch on
Matteo Moretto spoke in a video posted on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel and he commented on Simic’s future potentially being back in Italy, and why that matters to Milan.
“Lazio is already working on the January transfer window, has already had contact and has even submitted an offer for Jan-Carlo Simic, the former Milan defender who now plays for Anderlecht. His contract expires in 2029 and last January he was sought after by Galatasaray,” he said (via MilanNews).
“Lazio has continued contact in recent months and for this reason we expect the Biancocelesti to make a move in the coming weeks to secure Simic. Lazio are very interested in him. The player moved from Milan to Anderlecht, and his contract includes a 20% interest in the future resale to the Rossoneri.
“The Belgians are asking for €12m, and Lazio wants to get as close as possible to this figure to secure Simic for the January transfer window.”
We should try to bring this guy back. The 20% clause is a big advantage for us. He’s ready for our first team
Buy and loan him till end of the season…
And we sold him for 3m LOL.
A club run by Idiots!!
Please Lazio buy him, I got lots of popcorn 🍿 to go through
😆 they call it capital gain. Only a club without vision will sell a young with potential player for less value and still be happy. Even Parma will never sell him for 3m 😆
We spent Money on Bondo, terraciano, Emerson royal, Fofana, sottil, jao Felix, when we could have just promoted our youngsters… We have young goal keepers who are good, but still signed terraciano.
Just remember, it was his fault because he refused to play in the Futuro. Gerrybots are always missing when reality bites!
Look at barca promoting youngsters and having confidence in them with a mix of experience players but my own club keep buying all d scraps and injury prone players available in the market and selling their young and potential players
Could you imagine if Milan scouted the players it signs with the same intensity as it watches on for a 20% share of €12m for a former youth player who is better than the players Milan signs?
Better than Odogu, maybe. Better than De Winter, I doubt it. There is a bias toward youth. Maybe he will turn into a beast, maybe he will be some journeyman, it’s hard to say for now and he has yet to prove that he can be a decent starter in Serie A. Anyway he wanted to leave so there was no other option than sell him. Like Kerkez.
I agree though that Milan is managing its young players very poorly, especially after we were sold a Futuro project that should have been huge and that is nothing more than a waste of money at the benefit of Zlatan’s friend and son.
