Reports: Milan secure signing of Real Madrid teenager tipped to be Carvajal’s heir

AC Milan have secured a deal for Real Madrid teenager Alex Jimenez who was thought to be the eventual replacement for Dani Carvajal, reports claim.

It has been reported by both Calciomercato.com and Relevo that the deal is done for the 18-year-old right back to move on loan to Milan with a right to make the deal permanent.

The expectation is that the deal will be fully sealed in the next few days. He is regarded as being one of the best prospects in the Real Madrid academy but he had a tough 2022/23 campaign, which is why Los Blancos are allowing him to explore other options.

He was expected to make a small break into the senior team during the season but injuries at key moments kept him away from Carlo Ancelotti’s squad selections.

The plan is for Jimenez to join the Primavera setup but he would train regularly with the first team.
