AC Milan willing to pay £42m for 24-year-old Tottenham star

According to reports, AC Milan are eyeing a potential deal to take one Tottenham man back to the Serie A in January.

Ange Postecoglou favourite now generating transfer interest

If you ask Spurs fans who the club’s best player has been so far this season, an overwhelming portion of them will say Dejan Kulusevski.

The Swede has taken his game to a new level since being moved to the number eight role and has become one of the first names on Postecoglou’s teamsheet.

It would not surprise many to hear that the 24-year-old is catching the eye of other clubs with his performances, but a rather bizarre rumour has now emerged from Italy about the player.

AC Milan want to sign Dejan Kulusevski

According to JuveLive, Milan are now considering making a move for the Tottenham star when the transfer window reopens in January.

The outlet says that the Rossoneri see Kulusevski as an option to replace Rafael Leao, and they could use the funds they get from the Portuguese star’s sale to push ahead with a move for the Spurs man.

The report adds that Milan’s interest in the former Juventus man is being driven by the club’s advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been obsessed with his compatriot from a young age.

Why Milan have almost no chance of landing Kulusevski

Bizarrely, the report says that Milan value the Tottenham star at around €50m (£41.6m). One does not need to have any inside information to point out that Daniel Levy and Spurs would laugh off such an offer.

Given the steep upward trajectory Kulusevski is currently on and the fact that he is contracted to the Lilywhites until 2028, it is going to take an eye-watering bid to even bring Tottenham to the negotiating table.
