AC Milan are interested in signing two midfielders this summer – one of them being Lazar Samardzic. Today, Gianluca Nani has spoken about the chances of the midfielder leaving Udinese, with the Rossoneri chasing.
Milan struggled largely with their depth last season across several areas, and their lack of different midfielders played a large part in the struggles of the campaign. Therefore, during this mercato, there is a clear goal to improve this area.
Youssouf Fofana is a leading choice to be added to the squad, and a report from this morning suggests that the Diavolo have made a new bid for the Frenchman. However, Milan also hold an interest in Udinese midfielder Samardzic.
Whilst the club have been focused on adding a more defensively-minded profile to their squad, there is also a desire to add a player like Samardzic, who is more in his element in advanced areas.
With Milan pursuing the midfielder, Udinese’s Technical Director, Nani, spoke to Sky Sports about the midfielder’s future, and his words have been relayed by Calciomercato.com.
“Samardzic is a strong player, so I would be surprised if he is not wanted. He is an important player for us and so I would like those looking for him to consider him as an important player. If someone who wants him would make an important and fair offer for the player we would sit down.
“It can happen in the market, but we are not the ones to propose it. When the negotiation with Inter vanished then he came back to Udine and like the great professional he is, he returned to his reality, playing and performing and completing a good season.”
