Another name has emerged in AC Milan’s hunt for a new midfielder in view of the summer, and it is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg of Spurs.
According to what is being reported by TMW, the Milan management are monitoring the situation linked to Hojbjerg, a player that they know well after having faced him last season in the two-legged Champions League round of 16 tie against Tottenham.
The Dane could be the ‘ideal replacement for Franck Yannick Kessié’ as per the source, who is currently at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia after leaving Barcelona, due to his technical and physical characteristics.
Hojbjerg’s price tag is not too high for Milan either because Spurs value the Dane at around €20m, also considering that his contract expires in June 2025.
Italy is a real option for the former Southampton and Schalke man, because the Rossoneri have in fact joined a race that already includes Juventus and also potentially Napoli.
The 28-year-old is now in his fifth season with the north London club and thus might want to try a new experience outside of the Premier League, while Simon Kjaer knows him well given he has over 70 caps for the Danish national team, which Kjaer is captain of.
Last night, we published a feature regarding Milan’s plans for the midfield including the current combinations and what might constitute the missing piece of the jigsaw.
