Marko Lazetic seems to be just one step away from joining AC Milan on a permanent basis this month. It came a bit out of nowhere as the Rossoneri only just failed to secure Pietro Pellegri from Monaco.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara initially wanted to fast-track the permanent signing of Pellegri, but they were unable to reach an agreement with Monaco. As a result, the Italian will return to the French side and then join Torino on loan.
All of this prompted Milan to make a move for a young striker on the market, namely Marko Lazetic. The 18-year-old has scored one goal for Red Star Belgrade’s first team this season and has been touted as a very promising striker.
According to Pietro Mazzara of MN, the transfer fee should be €5m plus bonuses, as well as a % on a future resale. Serbian outlet Mozzart Sport (via @Nemcy85) adds that it will be €4m in two instalments, €1m in bonuses, and a 10% resale clause.
Daniele Longo also stated that Lazetic will be part of Milan’s first team, rather than the Primavera.
