AC Milan have rekindled their interest in Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic, with recent developments suggesting a potential move this summer. The Rossoneri have initiated fresh discussions with the player’s representatives, signaling their serious intent to secure the talented Serbian international.
Despite having a well-stocked midfield featuring players like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, and Yunus Musah, Milan’s technical director Geoffrey Moncada has long admired Samardzic, dating back to his time at Hertha Berlin.
Transfer journalist Matteo Moretto reports that in a significant turn of events, Samardzic’s agents have communicated their client’s desire to join Milan to Udinese. This expression of interest from the player could prove crucial in facilitating negotiations between the two clubs.
However, Udinese remains firm on their valuation of the 22-year-old midfielder. The Friulian club is reportedly demanding a fixed sum of €20 million plus additional bonuses to part ways with Samardzic, who impressed last season with six goals and two assists in 34 appearances.
Samardzic’s potential move to Milan comes after previously failed transfers to both Inter and Napoli, adding an intriguing subplot to this developing story. As negotiations progress, it remains to be seen whether Milan can meet Udinese’s financial demands and secure the services of this promising young talent.
