Luring calls from Italy: AC Milan are apparently interested in signing two FC Bayern stars
AC Milan are apparently looking twice at Munich. The Rossoneri are said to be intensely interested in two FC Bayern professionals – and could strike twice next summer
Interest in Minjae Kim is no longer a secret. The South Korean centre-back has been on the Italian top-flight club’s radar for some time. According to information from Foot Mercato, however, Kim would be more of a summer signing for Milan. The 29-year-old himself is said not to be looking for a premature departure and wants to finish the season at FC Bayern, despite his recent irregular appearances in the starting eleven
However, the situation in Munich could change. Dayot Upamecano is on the verge of extending his contract, while Bayern are also looking closely at Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace. Against this backdrop, a sale of Kim for the new season would be quite conceivable – not least to create sporting and financial leeway. Milan are considered to be a concrete buyer who would be ready in the event of a green light from Munich
AC Milan have Leon Goretzka on their list
But that’s not all: in addition to Kim, Milan have apparently also set their sights on Leon Goretzka. As transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio reports, the Rossoneri want to bring the midfielder to Italy on a free transfer in the summer. Initial information on the 30-year-old’s contract situation has reportedly already been obtained
However, a Goretzka transfer to Milan would not be a foregone conclusion. The German international is on the radar of several international clubs. In recent weeks, Atlético Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, SSC Napoli, Fenerbahce and FC Barcelona, among others, have been mooted as potential suitors. Milan would therefore have to prevail in a high-profile competition
It also remains to be seen whether an extension at FC Bayern is possible. Although this option is linked to clear conditions, in particular a significant reduction in salary, it is not ruled out. Sporting director Max Eberl was deliberately cautious recently: „You talk and then you see what comes out of it.“
