AC Milan are interested in signing winger Allan Saint-Maximin but are currently behind Spurs in the race to land him, a report claims.
According to what is being reported by the Mirror, it is Tottenham who are currently ahead of the Rossoneri in pursuit of Saint-Maximin. Milan are keen on signing the 26-year-old, who could leave this summer following Anthony Gordon’s arrival, but the asking price is an issue.
The Magpies are expected to ask for around £50million (€55m) which is a ‘potential stumbling block’ for Milan, while Spurs would have less of a problem paying that fee and made ‘discreet enquiries’ about his availability during the January transfer window.
Saint-Maximin cost Newcastle £16.5m when they signed him from OGC Nice in the summer of 2019 and he still has three years left on his contract, which puts them in a good negotiating position if clubs come knocking in the summer.
