AC Milan are in talks with the agent of Mario Gotze over the potential of a summer move from PSV Eindhoven, a journalist has claimed.
According to Patrick Berger of Sport1, the future of Götze is uncertain heading into the summer even though he has a contract with PSV until 2024. Benfica with their new coach Roger Schmidt are trying to sign him, however Milan ‘are in the race too’.
Berger adds that there are talks ongoing between Götze’s agents and the Rossoneri, and he has a €4-5m release clause which would make him very affordable.
Given the struggles that Brahim Diaz endured last season in the role of playmaker, the ex-German international – who scored 4 goals and added 4 assists in 29 Eredivisie games this season – could be seen as an experienced reinforcement for the attack.
However, it does seem to go against the usual philosophy of signing young players to develop into being part of the future core.
