AC Milan have entered negotiations for Lucas Gourna-Douath, the young French midfielder currently playing for Red Bull Salzburg. The 21-year-old has caught the eye of the Rossoneri management as they look to strengthen their midfield options in the January transfer window.
Sky Sport Italia report how Gourna-Douath, born in 2003, has been making waves in Austria since his move from Saint-Etienne. This season, he has already featured in 11 league matches and 5 Champions League games for Salzburg, showcasing his potential on both domestic and European stages.
The Milan management sees Gourna-Douath as a promising talent who could provide depth and quality to their midfield. With his energetic playing style and ability to win the ball, he fits the profile of player that Milan has been targeting in recent transfer windows.
However, Milan aren’t the only Italian club interested in the young Frenchman. Several other Serie A sides are reportedly monitoring Gourna-Douath’s situation, which could potentially lead to a bidding war.
This move for Gourna-Douath aligns with Milan’s transfer strategy of targeting young, high-potential players who can develop within the team. The midfielder’s versatility and physical attributes make him an attractive prospect for a Milan side looking to compete on multiple fronts.
