Report – Milan Set to Make Formal Offer for Bosnian Teenager | OneFootball

It is shaping up to be a busy summer for Milan, who are preparing for a new chapter under former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim. According to Calciomercato, Kerim Alajbegovic has emerged as a concrete target for the Rossoneri now that Christian Pulisic is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Pulisic suffered a bone bruise at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is now set for several months on the treatment table. Meanwhile, Rafael Leao’s future at Milan is hanging by a thread, with several elite European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, vying for the Portuguese winger’s signature.

Despite being prepared to give Samuel Chukwueze a second bite of the cherry, Amorim remains on the lookout for a new forward to bolster his options. Linked with a host of top clubs, Alajbegovic ticks all the boxes for the type of player the new Milan manager is keen to recruit.

However, the 18-year-old’s market price could pose a threat to Milan’s hopes of adding him to their star-studded frontline.

Our take on Milan & Alajbegovic

Alajbegovic made a name for himself at Red Bull Salzburg last term after being transferred from Bayer Leverkusen’s youth academy in the summer of 2025. Yet, after an impressive season in Austria, the teenager has returned to the BayArena, likely to be sold on to the highest bidder.

Milan are reportedly ready to offer up to €30 million to bring him to San Siro. That’s roughly €10m short of Leverkusen’s asking price, meaning the Rossoneri may have to rethink their valuation if they are serious about completing the signing.

If Milan can bridge the gap, Alajbegovic could be a major coup for the Italian powerhouse given his burgeoning talent and significant resale potential.
