Jan-Carlo Simic could be set to leave AC Milan as Anderlecht have come in for him and an agreement is close, according to reports.
While Simic is highly rated and has already had first team experience, Milan have been grappling with his contract renewal for some time now given that his current deal will expire in one year.
There have been links with various clubs over the past few weeks with Torino among them as they look for a replacement for Alessandro Buongiorno, though things went cold on that front.
According to Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport and Matteo Moretto of Relevo, it is Anderlecht that are the latest club to come forward and express an interest in signing Simic.
The former claims that Anderlecht are a ‘serious option’ for Simic and that an agreement with the player over terms is ‘very close’. The Serbian could leave Milan for a sum close to €3m, he adds.
Last season the 19-year-old played 35 games across all competitions with four of them coming in Serie A, including a goal at San Siro in the win over Monza. He was expected to be part of Milan Futuro, but it seems he has bigger ambitions.
